Dr. Cavendish – Design Pin-Up

Dr. Cavendish was born in the in the United States to a British father and and Native Indian mother. He spent the first 10 years of his live with his mother’s people where he learned to track, hunt, ride a horse and more. After his mother’s death, his father took him away from that life and brought him to Chicago. There he was highly educated and graduated with top marks form medical school. However, Cavendish did not go into practice, as his father wanted, instead, he joined the Pinkerton Agency and became an expert tracker of criminals and solver of crimes. At his father’s death, he inherited some money and went to his father’s country, Great Britain. After a variety of circumstances, he found himself introduced to Jane Ballantyne, the eldest sister of Myles Ballantyne, and after a few years they were married. They currently have 3 children. Dr. Cavendish also was Myles’s principle financial backer for his invention and the two eventually created the company called Empyrean Industries. Cavendish runs the more business aspects of the company, allowing Myles to focus exclusively on the invention side. It is Dr. Cavendish that bring Miss Delyth Gwynne to the Fortress and installs her as a maid there. He is one of the few members of the Ballantyne/Cavendish contingent that know Delyth’s secrets.

Dr. Cavendish is based loosely on Mr. Darcy from Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice. While Darcy’s time is well over a 100 years before the one in this tale, they basic archetype is the same. Thus, he was designed with a certain level of style at all times. He doesn’t advertise his mixed heretage but doesn’t hide it either. Thus people usually mistake him for being vague “Mediterranean,” lol!
