HOUSE AND HOME
Describe the character's house/home: Escott lives in a small apartment just above his detective agency. It is littered with ancient books and antiquities he’s acquired in his adventures.
Significant/special belongings: Forthcoming.
CAREER
Level of education: Post graduate degree in Classics.
Qualifications: A degree in Classics doesn’t get one far, even if it is from Oxford. Escott prefers to think of himself as a man of some civility, and so has taken up a few skillsets in his time. A vast degree in history has also influenced his knowledge of dead languages, and given him some insight into the world around him. His time spent in the Airforce showed him how to handle a weapon properly, and how to navigate an aircraft, as well as rudimentary medical skils. His current profession has taught him some less seemly talents such as lockpicking and snooping.

Special skills/magical powers/etc (Refer to Powers and Abilities Section): Historian. Medicinal Training. And….I suppose The God One….but I doubt God cares much for Escott.
Weapon of choice (if any): Escott carries a small caliber pistol on him. But if things get nasty, he’d prefer to slip out his stainless silver blade from his cane.
Weaknesses in combat: He’s an aging old man. Running up a flight of stairs winds him.
Strengths in combat: Usually underestimated, especially by supernatural foe. Escott is not be outdone. He is exceedingly intelligent and well versed in the lore of the creatures he finds himself pitted against. Escott is the ultimate man with a plan, if he’s in a fight, odds are he’s figured a way to give himself an edge, or has an escape route planned if things go south.
