Herbert Rawson

Rawson´s face is disfigured on

A nasty, badly healed scar.

Coming from Oxford, he´s well educated and very much a formal man. Not much for jokes.
The endeavor in Egypt, Rawson plans, is to generate a financial base to start an institute of

Appearance & Personality: Michael Finn is an ordinary-looking Irishman with dark hair and piercing eyes. He has a soft spot for the ladies and is usually easygoing and friendly, but when he's crossed he will not hesitate to strike back.

Background: Michael Finn grew up in Dublin and resented British rule. When his older brother Patrick was arrested by the British in 1916, Michael took up arms and joined the rebellion against them. He fought long, hard, and dirty, and eventually in 1922 the Republic of Ireland was granted independence in a deal with the British. However, Michael has always regarded this victory as incomplete, as the British retained their grasp on Northern Ireland. Disillusioned with his new country's leadership, he left Ireland to see the world. Attaching himself to archaelogical expeditions as protection, he got to explore many exotic and dangerous places. He has previously worked for Professor Bollancher and is on his way to help him out one more time.

Appearance & Personality: Big and strong would be a good way to describe Terry Morton, who hails from Nantucket, Massachusetts. His quick temper and liking of a drink has seen him in a lot of trouble, something which has prevented him rising above the rank of able seaman. However he is a staunch and stalwart friend once you get to know him.

Background: Terry Morton grew up in the former whaling community of Nantucket and as soon as he could he left his home where he received little but regular beatings for any minor misdemeanour. He feels little love for his mother and nothing whatsoever for his father, in fact when he found out his father had died he celebrated got locked up for fighting with some naval types. He always had an interest in old things, starting off with the scrimshaw carvings his home island was famous for and as he sailed the world this grew into other areas. He gained the name 'Jelly Roll' because of his surname, because he looks like the famous musician and because he could play the piano in a similar Jazz style fairly well.
When his last ship was docking in Cairo last year, a mooring cable snapped and had he not ducked at the right moment, he would have been decapitated. As it was; it only grazed his left shoulder, but it did enough damage to cause considerable damage to his shoulder blade. Rather than return to America to convalesce, he chose to recuperate in Cairo where he has remained for better part of the last year. His injury has frozen his left shoulder slightly as he continues his recovery.

Appearance & Personality: Aswald is a little shorter then most men but makes up for it with a stocky, solid build. He had black hair, tan skin and amber eyes. Aswald has an overbearing and slightly intimidating personality, he presents himself with a lot of energy and a quick demeanor. He always seems to be in a hurry. He is friendly and polite to people's faces but he cares for nobody but himself. To be more accurate, he cares about his own life above all else, he does have friends.

Background: Born with nothing in the slums of Cairo, it was up to Aswald to provide for himself. He ran away from the orphanage he was dumped at when he was six years old. For a large portion of his childhood he begged, picking pockets when that didn't make enough to support him. He would often spend his nights staring up at the sky watching the stars. As he grew older he started doing more thought out crimes. He has been caught before but always manages to talk his way out of trouble. One of the less harmful crimes he performs is sneaking interested foreigners close to historic monuments. He knows which guards to bribe and which gates have holes in them. Even when he does run into the unexpected on tours he can almost always talk his way out of trouble. He loves visiting these places, and has learned quite a bit about history, the occult, and even a little of the ancient Egyptian language from the experts he guides.
