(NPC) Count Fairfax

Name: The Right Honorable Count of Fairfax, Viscount of Kenstone. (Perry Fairfax)
Age: 25
Race: Human
Occupation: Count

Appearance: Perry stands around 5'7", with a thin frame and a diamond shaped head. His strawberry blond hair is always nearly combed and parted, complimenting his clean shaven face. He has grey eyes hiding behind a pair of black oval shaped glasses. He is most often seen wearing a sharp brown-red suit with his sword on his belt for decoration reasons, though only wears it to formal occasions that allow weapons to be worn openly.

Personality Count Fairfax is quite an analytical man. While he can have emotional outbursts, many of his moves and thoughts are carefully weighed on the options he can think of. He tends to pride himself on this and his impartial judgement and gets embarrassed when people bring up instances in which he didn't follow these guidelines. Those instances are sadly more often than he would like to admit.

While he may appear distant, he is actually quite passionate about trying to improve the lives of people around him. He tries his best to find problems in the city and fix them to the best of his ability, though he can be blind to several injustices in the world from his sheltered upbringing. He is also quite passionate about trying to understand the world better and offers backing to scientists of all sorts, though he has a bit of a soft spot for electric works and geology.

While he believes in justice with all of his heart, he doesn't trust the current law system in Central City and believes he has to take justice into his own hands. He thinks that having two branches of law is a good way to hide criminals.

History
Young Perry grew up on his father's estate in Elon with his younger brother and sister. They would often be sent to play with the children of other lords in the area,hoping to keep good will between the families. His father was often flying out to Central City to keep an eye on his factory, leaving young Perry's connection with his mother much deeper. As he grew up he gained and kept a healthy curiosity for the world, learning more from experience and experimentation than he did from books. And even at the young age of 5, he held interest in swordplay.

When he got older and began to show signs of magic ability, his family was quick to send him to private tutors until he was old enough to attend Shelby Prep. He graduated from there to attend Shelby University, not ranking particularly high thanks to his aversion to book work. However, through out his entire school career he continued his experimenting process, perfecting it thanks to the theories he learned in his classes. When he got his Bachelors at the age of 22, he did not bother to head back for his PhD thanks to his need to return home and take over the job of being a viscount.

As a viscount, he followed his father's philosophy that treating his people well meant he would be treated well as long as they remembered to show respect. He has been working on several projects to improve daily lives through the use of science, one major one being to line the streets of the district he is in charge of with electric lights and electric cables. He has also funded several research projects determining the nature of magic ore.

3 years after graduating, he has now gotten news of his father's death in Central City and has flown over to attend his funeral. He demanded to see the evidence and investigation of his father's death, though was refused the opportunity because the death did not occur in a Coxish district.

Abilities
Count Fairfax is quite good simple machines, going as far as to try and design a few himself and check them over with hired engineers. He is also quite extensive in his knowledge of electricity and geology.

He is a well trained electromancer,learning how to channel his natural ability into arcs, though can't sustain it for longer than two seconds with out an electrical source to draw on. His ability is fairly easy to defend against at a range, the easiest solution being to find something more conductive than skin and stand near it or throw it at him. His ability is also quite weak against geomancy.

He is an above average sword fighter, managing to take second in several fencing tournaments over the globe. While he can have some trouble dealing with dishonest opponents, he's smart enough not to use fencing rules when in combat.
