Le clan de la clé frappant la table a frappé Emil éveillé. Il regardait la femme devant lui depuis au moins une minute qu'elle parlait et qu'elle s'occupait du tiroir. Maintenant, il a vu le numéro, les chiffres familiers de la porte fermée en acier.
"Pardonne-moi," il a dit masquer son et faire semblant de l'accent de son colocataire; "Nom de Sean. Sean O'Reilly. Je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de regarder. Ta beauté m'a stupéfaite, je dois l'avouer. Une secousse involontaire s'est ébranlée les lèvres. Elle est magnifique. Peut-être qu'elle m'adoucira aussi.
Il a fermé la porte derrière lui. Les anciennes charnières brouillaient. Mes démons me suivent, criant derrière mes pas, m'appelant : Eeeeeeeeeeeemil.
Je viens d'arriver avec le groupe universitaire ce matin. Je suis une étudiante en médecine ici à l'Université moi-même. » Il lui a fait un sourire et s'est approché du bureau. Le docteur Gabrowski m'a envoyé ici, c'est ma pratique aujourd'hui.
S'approchant, il sentit la clé sucer lentement son âme, et toutes ses pensées avec elle. Il ne l'a pas regardé, mais ses os et ses muscles aspirent à le posséder, comme s'il était un dragon qui désirait un artefact d'un vieux héros ou autre. Dans la périphérie de sa vision, il a enregistré un scintillement blanc et froid et il savait que c'était la clé d'argent reflétant peu de lumière qui est tombée en forme de lame sur elle par la fenêtre au-dessus.
Toujours en la regardant et souriant, il a dit : « Je vais passer le temps d'un cours avec un patient et écrire mon rapport. La dame en question est de partir bientôt, je crois? Salle 125.
Name: Jeremiah Dupree
Nickname/title: Professor Dupree, Dr. Dupree, "The Collector", "Jerry"
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Build/physicality: Seems rather medically/physically frail despite a heavy-set stature. Keep him out of fights, but he is surprisingly flexible and will squeeze through narrow spaces without complaint. 5'5"
Appearance: Linked due to size.
Background
Psychological status: Complains frequently of a sensation of being watched (paranoia?), possible memory repression, frequent nightmares, mild ornithophobia
Quirks, ticks, conditions, sensitivities to the paranormal: Possible sensitivities to the paranormal
Magical potential: Yes, mostly in channeling and summoning (albeit has not attempted anything serious yet)
Personality: Jeremiah is the determined sort, feeling that there must be some greater underlying truth to the universe and that he must only push harder against reality to discover it. While he is much more hesitant to push this determination when others are in need of him, his own safety means little to him in the pursuit of knowledge. He is something of a bookworm, preferring older texts to more recently published works due to a belief that the sudden surge in 'science' has led people to ignoring what should be obvious patterns and truths.

Occupation: Professor of Anthropology at Miskatonic
Achievements: Co-authored a paper on a near-extinct ritualistic practice occurring in Ireland while at Hopkins

Religion/philosophy: Rationalist
Marital status: Single
Family status: Parents both deceased, only child
Biographical writeup: Jeremiah Dupree (born as Emilia, before changing his name in his application to Cornell) was born the only child to a sickly mother and an uncaring father. When his mother died, his father, preferring to focus on work rather than the difficulties of child-raising, sent his child to an all-girl boarding school in New York. It was there, with no contact from his father and relatively isolated from the ones who should've been peers, that Jeremiah developed his fascination with philosophy and a desire to understand the universe as a whole. His second year led him to befriending a transfer student, Alice, and through her efforts expanding his social contacts. He never quite lost that obsession however, and used his father's wealth to pursue a bachelor's degree and doctorate. He missed his father's funeral entirely, and did not care much. His time at Cornell allowed him to travel with a professor of anthropology and discover the better hidden cultures of Africa and Europe, and he based his research at Hopkins on one group in Ireland. He even persuaded a professor and other graduate students to assist him in a venture back to observe an annual ritual - where he acquired a mask, notability in the field of research, and a fresh fear of birds. Upon receiving his doctorate, he decided to focus on more local cultures and, through rumors and ghost stories, came to Miskatonic University to teach and to study.
