Augustus/Hooks

• Slightly Famous Artist - Augustus Tiberius Layton is an up and coming painter, famous for painting terrifying and alien landscapes, scenes, and figures. They are violent paintings, fantastical and dreamlike in their elements, often involving monstrosities that are perilously close to human. Some of them have been used for the covers of recent science fiction and horror novels. He has been being compared to the late, great, H.R. Geiger.

• The Occult - Augustus makes no bones about being into the occult. Ghost hunts, strange happenings, supernatural conspiracies, he will be intrigued. Ah, the foibles of the upper class.

• Activist - Just as famous for his stance against the Layton Arms manufacturing company, his own father's arms company, Augustus also pours money into charities to stop Child Soldiers from being pressed into service in hotspots around the world and is an advocate for gun control in the U.S.
