Appearance & Personality:
Henri Balzac is tall and rather plump, sporting curly black hair and a goatee beard, and is never seen without his spectacles on. Balzac is rather vague, easily excited, and generally quite messy. Balzac speaks with a distinct French (-Canadian) accent. Balzac is a die-hard fan of jazz music and frequently plays the trumpet (not well).
Background:
Balzac was born and raised in Quebec as a native French speaker. Balzac qualified as a doctor of medicine at the Universite de Montreal, and then served as a medical officer with the Canadian Army in the Great War for a year before being returned home, having contracted a "nasty" illness himself (ahem). Once the war was over, Balzac pursued his interest in botany, completing a PhD in Botany at The Sorbonne.
Balzac's recent investigations into the hidden world he now believes exists have led to his spending much time in New England. This, combined with his increasingly erratic behaviour and strange research, has cost him his job at the Universite de Montreal, however, he has managed to take a position at Miskatonic Medical School, thanks to his many connections to that university.
