Jignesh Shankar Bio

Description: 

	A charismatic young man in his late twenties, 
often seen frequenting the streets of London in his 
trademark cream-colored turban. Jignesh is a fit Indian 
man with sharp features and a soft smile. He has thick 
eyebrows and a narrow nose which somehow manage to 
compliment his deep, brown eyes. He is quite specific 
concerning his hygene and effects a wide array of trendy 
men's colognes over a given week. Never one to shy away 
from the demands of high-culture, he takes pride in his 
wardrobe of fashionable suits and collection of 
pocket-watches. Jignesh speaks with a careful English 
accent, though occasionally slips into his native Hindi 
in moments of great excitement. He wears a thin, black 
moustache which he trims obsessively. His hands are 
always manicured. He is definitely a high-class 
gentleman despite his race and tendencies to associate 
with those of a questionable reputation.

	Jignesh is 5' 10" and weighs 140 lbs. 

Background: 

	Born April 17th, 1859 in northern India. His 
father, the Maharaja of a major province, was sure to 
provide Jignesh with the best in education and luxury. 
In 1875, he left India with his father's trusted servant 
to see the world. He spent two years visiting the 
countries of western asia, then, in 1877, journied to 
europe. He took up residence in Paris, during which time 
his friend and manservant, Subinay, was mysteriously 
murdered. Jignesh, fascinated by the occult from age 
eight, suspected some sort of witchery. He then took up 
something of an undeclared mission to study and 
investigate this strange art. In 1882, he moved to 
London to continue his edification. It is here, in a 
spacious, downtown flat, that he has lived for the past 
five years. He's considered hiring a new manservant, but 
the memory of Subinay lingers disturbingly.
