[b]Backstory[/b]: Adam Temple is a relatively accomplished fantasy novelist whose name might be recognisable, if not his appearance.

Born into an affluent, gentrified family in London in 1874, Adam was an intelligent young man, albeit one with no particular interest in his fathers' businesses.  He studied literature at University College, Oxford, and began writing short stories, followed by novels from the early 1900s.  This did not make Adam and especially wealthy man (at least not independently), though most people who knew him in the period would have said he was definitely an interesting one, finding his way into many of London's most fashionable parties.  

During this period, Adam married a poet ten years his junior, Edna with whom he has two children.

Adam's financial situation changed in early 1914, shortly before the outbreak of the war, when Adam's father passed away, leaving him a number of family businesses which he, rather wisely, chose to allow a manager to look after for him. 

Adam was seen as too old to be conscripted during the war and, as such, did not serve in the trenches, though several of his businesses contributed to the war effort.

It was in 1917, with the war in full swing, that Adam was contacted by a branch of the Night Watch in the UK.  With no previous experience of the supernatural, he was thrust into the exorcism of a demonic hound in the vicinity of the Croydon Aerodrome.  The hunt was both terrifying and exhilarating and served as an inspiration for his next novel 'The Hounds of Sorrow', which was much more successful than his earlier works.

Adam continued his work with the Night Watch, wrapping up a number of cases in the UK where, within the secretive circles of the organisation, he has acquired a reputation for being able to solve some of the more complicated cases the Night Watch has been called in to look at.  All of which, naturally, serve as further fodder for Adam's novels.

Recently, Adam was asked to come to Munich to look into the gruesome murder of a grave digger...
