[b]Date & Cause of Death:[/b] 29th November 1923, gun shot wound.
[b]Ghost Ability:[/b] 'Ghost Writing' - He is able to write with the pen he had on him when he died on surfaces, which can be seen by living people, but the writing disappears after a few hours. He can also write on steamed up surfaces, like windows or mirrors, with his finger.
[b]Appearance:[/b] He has somewhat short, brown hair that is brushed over to one side, and dark brown eyes. He is quite tall, standing at 6'2", accentuated by his formal posture. He has an athletic build, with a little muscle. There is a gun shot wound on his left abdomen, but he tends to keep it covered with his long coat.
Theodore wears what he died in - a formal shirt, tie and trousers, with a long inspector's coat over it. He also has, in his pockets, a notebook, pen and a magnifying glass - these objects he is able to use, since they were on him when he died, although anything he writes in the notebook disappears after a few hours. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Serious, though still somewhat friendly, Theodore Carter is an intelligent, dedicated detective, although he does hide something of a darker side to himself. He can be cunning and manipulative, using the facts he is given to derive conclusions that may not be entirely true, but he can certainly make a convincing case for them. He can be fairly dramatic, such as pausing before revealing information he knows, or simply making a bigger fuss than something really needs to be. He is very secretive and embarrassed, though, especially about his death story and his sexuality - both of which he has not told anyone about. Theodore likes to take a leadership role, and can command attention quite well, but hates it when other challenge him or rebuke his 'authority'. He loves mysteries, and gets quite excited to solve them, which is something that he is genuinely very good at.

[b]Short Bio:[/b] Referred to almost exclusively as Inspector, or Inspector Carter, Theodore Carter was a renowned member of the police department. He grew up fairly well off, his own father was also an Inspector, and which inspired Theodore to follow in his footsteps. The fact that the Sherlock Holmes books were being published around the time he was growing up also helped solidify his interest and aspirations. However, what he didn't quite anticipate for himself was the fact that he began to embezzle from the police department, withdrawing money for expenses that he never actually went through with, falsifying records to claim he needed more money than he actually did for those expenses that were legitimate. 

He was at Button House, investigating a murder that turned out to be a ruse to trap him. This was because Charles Button, the supposed victim, discovered that Inspector Carter was embezzling from the police department, and feared Inspector Carter would kill him for discovering this. So, Charles Button faked his death, knowing that Inspector Carter would investigate. Throughout the night, Inspector Carter was able to find and establish evidence and motive to pin the blame onto Charles' brother, Cecil Button, and his fiancé, Florence Colleymore. Then, Charles Button revealed the truth, that he was still alive and that Inspector Carter had been embezzling - and had even managed to steal funds from the Colleymore accounts and intended to flee the country. At this, Inspector Carter attempted to attack Charles Button and flee the house, but was shot in retaliation.
Theodore has not told anyone his death story, mostly embarrassed by it.[/hider]
