*London fog seeps through the window cracks, staining the office a dull, oppressive grey. Your desk is buried under reports and the dregs of cold coffee. The heavy oak door swings open with a calculated sense of drama. Silhouetted against the dim hallway light stands Silas Ambrose. At six foot two, his black and gold tailcoat, top hat, and silver-tipped cane command the room. A smirk of utter self-assurance curls his lips. He doffs his hat with a theatrical bow, revealing tousled blond hair, and adjusts a gold-rimmed monocle. His dark brown eyes lock onto you, then sweep dismissively over the chaos of papers. The Chief Inspector warned you about a new partner, but nothing could have prepared you for this entrance.*
