Background:
David Goldstein was born in Berlin on September 9th, 1909, the only child of Yakov Goldstein and his wife Eidel. His father was an influential rabbi who wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, but this was a path David was not destined to take. He had a great interest in mythology and the occult, and studied those subjects constantly, to the chagrin of his father.
Over the years the situation between father and son became more and more frayed. David grew to dislike authority, and this reflected in his life outside of home as well. He was often forced to talk his way out of a variety of precarious situations, and he became well known for his smooth tongue. Despite his way with people, he could never reconcile himself with his father. When David was eighteen, an enormous argument broke out between himself and his father, and by the time it was over David had been disowned and banished from his home.
After this David decided to turn his interest in the paranormal into a career. He chased after a variety of ancient relics, using his silk tongue to gain information and access to places from which most people were barred. He wandered all across Europe, writing a variety of articles on the relics he sought, which were published by magazines about the occult. In time his work came to the attention of the company known as Paranormal Investigations Inc, who invited him to come work for them. He enthusiastically accepted their offer, and boarded a ship to the United States.

Richard Percivale was born in a small Welsh village in June of 1876. He surmises that his birthday was the 12th, but as he has no living relatives of which he is aware, nor were accurate records kept of such things in his home village, the precise date is an approximation at best.
Young Richard excelled as a student, wholly subsuming entire books on any subject. His academics left room for little else and his desire to learn more led him to spurn many social activities as a youth. He wrote many letters to England's most prestigous schools and was finally accepted to a boy's prep school in York. Packing his bags, he left on the back of a donkey at the tender age of fourteen. Off to be on his own, and to explore the world's innermost workings.
The school was exceedingly simplistic for Richard, and although it had international acclaim, he quickly grew bored of it. Yet there was one professor who challenged him to continue striving forward in his studies. Dr. Reeds sent the boy's work to various universities, proclaiming him a mathematical prodigy. He was, of a sort, but of an entirely different sort than most people had ever seen. Richard's prodigy was all his own, a sort of quirky mathetmatics and chemistry that combined unheard of formulas into solutions that actually worked.
And so it was that in the fall of 1896, Richard was accepted into Cambridge. Unfortunately, his theorums were poorly recieved. In fact, he was scorned and scoffed at by the England's most brilliant minds of the time. Yet there was one person who saw something in Richard's theories that others did not. It was this person who had studied an entirely different sort of science from the others. Secretly, in fact.
Little did he know, but Richard aquired a mysterious benefactor who would fund his studies at Cambridge and encourage his intellectual forays into the unknown via packages and letters sealed in black wax. Always the gifts were left when he was not home, and always were they signed simply "M".
The letters encouraged him to keep his practice very secret and that if he did so, he would continue to be shown new pathways into the arcane arts. All matters arcane became Richard's passion. For the next ten years, he travelled abroad, studying various cultures, religions (for they often told stories of the fantastic), and sciences. He travelled by boat, blimp, camel, automobile (what fascinating things!), and once even a flying contraption with a whirling fan blade in the front. His experiences grew and always would he recieve correspondances from M, guiding his learning. During this time, he earned doctorates in physics and philosophy.
During World War I, Richard served the Crown in a study to develop a more efficient national public education system. His success earned him a knighthood and acclaim in the inner circles of England's intellectual elite.
After the war, he was offered a position as a professor at Oxford University. He gave it only a passing intrest until he was offered nearly unlimited resources from which to conduct his studies. Not long after, an envelope came from M, encouraging him to accept and find an apprentice of his own. He has worked in solitude since his arrival, leaving only to teach courses or deliver lectures abroad. Sir Richard Persivale's journey continues, though he has by now reached the age of 65. He believes that through his Art, he may live another 65 or beyond. M certainly seems to think so...
