His parents, Peter and Marianne Hombridge, both Journalists, saw to his good education from an early age sending him to a private school of long tradition and good reknown. After finishing school he began to study history and ancient languages, his interest kindled by the traditional education in biblical languages at his old school. Despite his parents' misgivings about what they thought was an unsecure field of work Jens Hombridge decided to become a teacher after the studium, mainly because he loved the atmosphere at the university and the spirited discussions with his peers and professors about the details of translations and their implications. Knowing, that he would need practical experience and a PhD before he could apply at a university, he took up teaching at a school, which like his former school put an emphasis on the classical languages. At first he thought of it only as a temporary job until he could realize his true goal, but after a few months he came to appreciate the often remarkable insights of children unprejudiced by years of study as well as the free time he could spent on pursuing his own interests and gather ideas for his doctoral thesis. Furthermore despite his lacking in educational theory, his natural persuasiveness (diplomacy ;)) and insight into the motivations of his pupils served him wel enough to earn him the position of the most liked teacher at his school and when he left, following an job offer from an american private school in Boston, he was sorely missed. By now he's been teaching Classical Greece and history to gifted children for almost ten years and thouroughly enjoys it, even if it can sometimes be tiring to work with a class of hyperactive youngsters.

Unknown to most others Jens Hombridge has his own demons to contend with, though. Due to some strange twist of fate or maybe because of his grandfather, a circus magician of great reknown before his 'retiring' to a sanatorium for the mentally unstable, it often seems as if he could see things other people can't and sometimes even hear other people's thoughts. But is this really some strange gift or is he slowly but surely going mad? Horrified by the monstrous implications of both explanations Jens has mostly tried to forget about whatever-it-is and not think about it, but the knowledge is there, burning in the darker regions of his mind, like an itch that won't go away. A typical day would be as follows: 7 am waking up, washin, breakfast, reading the newspapers 7.30 am driving to the school 8.15 am classes begin 1 pm lunch break 2 pm afternoon classes begin 5 pm school ends 5.30 pm soccer, volleyball or other sports with fellow teachers or friends 7.30 pm driving home 8 pm dinner 8.15 pm reading books and magazins, working on classes and scientific articles, etc 12 pm sleeping A few other notes: Forgery and Sense Motive find most use in his daily classes in determining, whether a pupil is lying or forging his medical attest for missing school. His good dexterity represents relative fitness and ability to move fast and accurate trained by playing soccer and other sports. The Desert Eagle pistol he possesses is inherited from his father, who carried it with him in order to protect himself from the often dangerous objects of his journalism. While Jens Hombridge doen't much like having to do with weapons he keeps it for memory's sake and for the unlikely case, that he has to defend himself.

It also once enabled him to fend off a robber long enough to flee, which together with its utility during the hot summer months confirms him in his habit. Mmhhh ... that's all, I think ...
