BACKGROUND & HISTORY

• Evan was born in the city of QI, and has spent all his life withing the city walls.
• His family, the Glockhearts, has a history of scholars and researchers in Qi.
• His father, Dr. Senex Glockheart, is a well-respected academic and a Dean in the College of Numenera Studies at the University of Qi.
• His mother, Eplua Glockheart, was a famous stage actress that died suddenly 15 years ago.
• Evan has a sister, as well; a brilliant professor at the University of Qi named Capula Glockheart.
• Evan has long been in the shadow of his family’s accomplishments. He’s not a Black Sheep by any means; he just hasn’t attainted the same level of success, and Evan is keenly aware of that fact.
• But Evan’s charm and good looks have helped him well in life. He was always popular with his friends and breezed through school. It is not that he isn’t smart, it’s just that people always seemed to give him the benefit of the doubt and helped him along when it might have been better for his character if he were to have struggled a little and persevered, or perhaps even failed a bit.
• Evan’s mother instilled in him a love of cooking, which he still practices until this day.
• To keep his son occupied and to keep an eye on him, Dr. Glockheart arranged for Evan to take a job as a journalist at The Qi Chronicler, run by a family friend.
• Evan is a capable reporter but was nonetheless relegated to the Entertainment section, mostly writing fluff pieces about the latest charity event or restaurant openings.
• The side effect of reporting on these events was Evan began to develop a network of contacts, hearing the latest rumors and gossip spreading around the city.
• Of note is a small piece Evan tried to get published a few years back. It involved a young, up-and-coming researcher named Thadeus that was making waves at the University of Qi. His revolutionary ideas were only amplified by his age, as he was only a child! But soon after being interviewed by Evan, the boy disappeared and the paper decided to shelf the story. Evan has always kept his ears open for mention of Thadeus, hoping to meet him again.
