Dr Eric Caron
Le Dr Caron a vu l'obscurité autour du camp. Il n'avait pas été très heureux de voyager dans la nature, très heureux de rencontrer les nouvelles personnes et les cultures intéressantes, extatique au sujet de l'apprentissage et de la maîtrise de la magie, et maintenant il était de nouveau malheureux - dans la forêt, tout près où ils sont arrivés pour la première fois. Ses yeux s'emparèrent du feu, regardant à travers les autres, avant qu'il regardât de nouveau vers les bois. "J'ai peur que... es-tu sûr de vouloir aller chercher seul? Peut-être devrions-nous rester ensemble. Je ne sens personne dehors, mais il y a quelque chose là-bas-" Il soupira et frotta ses temples - Il pourrait vraiment faire avec un verre. "Ce n'est pas si mal que ça, non?" Il a regardé l'autre homme, Williams, c'est ça? - Il semblait assez compétent, mais ils n'y étaient que depuis quelques mois. Par habitude et par nerfs, il redressait sa cravate et dépoussiérait son pantalon, avant de regarder de nouveau les bois.

Bio: Dr Eric Caron was born in England, from a Swiss mother and a French Father. Barely a few months after his birth, they - both being academics - moved to Germany where they continued their respective academic pursuits. As such, for most of his life, Eric traveled with his Mother and Father - Tutored by them. He became fluent in a few languages, and conversational in many more - causing any accent he might have had to become so obscure - even seasoned linguists would have a hard time figuring out where he came from.
Having finished school early, he started University at 18, and took - against the advice of the administrative staff - more subjects at once than anyone ever had. Having slightly overestimated himself, he failed three, but still had far more credits than needed to get his BA. The next year he did his Honors, while also redoing the exams for the others he failed - passing them as well. The University, and one lecturer in particular having taken note - encouraged him to apply for a Doctorate - having read some of his work and having been impressed on his insights.
Being interested in how people are affected by their surroundings, and in complex Psycho-Social systems - he accepted a post at the noted South African University of Stellenbosch - where he started to work in their Anthropology Department. Here he has spent a few years, studying people and places - his parents still being off somewhere in east Asia at the moment. Having had a month where he would not be required to teach or work, he decided to travel - leading inevitably to where he was to be transported into the other realm.
