My life as a child was not like much others. My father, Alphonse had a long time friend named Beaufort, when he died, my father become the protector of his daughter, and my soon to be mother, Caroline. They ended up getting married 2 years later and I was soon born after that. I had a interest in science and alchemy as an child, I liked to read books on the subject, although, my father thought I was wasting my time, he thought there were better things out there for myself. During my childhood I had a very good friend named Elizabeth Lavenza. The daughter of my fathers sister. her mother passed away, I was about four years old at the time. my family decided to adopt her. We grew up together as best friends. As a teenager I became increasingly fascinated by the mysteries of the natural world. I stumbled upon a book by Cornelius Agrippa, I really liked to study the discoveries found by Agrippa. At age 17 I left my family and what I know to attend the university at Ingolstadt. My mother caught a very bad sickness from Elizabeth just before I departed. My mother had been taking care of Elizabeth trying to get her back to full health. although Elizabeth would become fine, my mother would die. Right before she died though she begged for me to marry Elizabeth. Several weeks later I left to attend the university still sadden by my mothers death. After arriving I attack my study's with full force, after several years of tireless work I have mastered everything that my professors had to teach me. I soon hide myself away in my apartment where no one at all can see me work, I start cracking at life and how it's done. I push everything else away from me, family, friends. I had no more social life, I was sad and lonely.
It was freezing out, below 0℉, -4℉ to be exact. I was exhausted, disoriented, and tired. I have been chasing this beast of my creation for 3 days without rest, I needed a good night sleep. I had came to the Artic about a week earlier, I took a boat, It was a horrible ride. I did however meet three other scientist that were on their way to the Artic too. They kept me good company. When we arrived, one of the scientist that name was stew offered to let me stay at his cabin, I accepted. I figured I better get at least one good night sleep as I knew I had a tiring journey ahead of me. That morning when I woke up, he had made some breakfast, french toast and some orange juice, it was very generous gesture, gave me a good energy boost before I head out to begin my mission. After breakfast I got my gear and equipment around and said my goodbyes and thanks to Stew for letting me stay with my final words hoping we will meet again. As soon as I stepped out the cold winds hit me, 60 MPH of pure cold breezing on my face. I yet continued on threw the first warning that I should turn back, foolish mistake. I searched around for about 3 hours with no trace, not a footprint or anything, the trail was dead, so, I decided to put camp up where I was. The next morning after the worst sleep of my night, I Woke up too a loud roar, I knew it must be him. I hopped out of my tent and got my gear on. I traveled about a mile when I came to some mountains. HE WAS THERE! I could see him, I knew I couldn't just approach him and I was too far to shoot my tranquilizer at him. I had to wait for the right moment. I sat for 2 hours and watched him so close, my eyes began to see things. I was cold and tired, I needed to act fast before night fall. I got up, and slowly approached him, I don't know how, but, he seen me, he ran up the mountain taking huge steps. By time i got to where I had no longer had sight of him, he was out of sight! Gone, once again no trace or any evidence he had ever been here. After a cold sleepless night, morning struck again like it always did, the sun came up, but it was still cold. I ran out of water in my gallon jug So I had to head over to the nearest water that wasn't frozen over with ice. You see captain, that's when I met you, I wasn't going to originally ask to board, But I was so tired and hungry, I thought I must, and that my friend is why I am here, to catch the beast that I should not have created in the first place.
