About you...

BIO
Some people butler by choice; some choose to do it because they failed the bar exam. Having reached and missed the lofty heights of becoming a barrister, your thoughts quickly turned to the next achievable position: butlering. Fortunately for you, and your chain of royal connections, you were offered a job with the Kinder family and have served them ever since. You enjoy playing golf too, in the three hour daily break they give you for sleeping.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AT THE START OF THE GAME BY READING THIS
I’m Gerard, butler to Master Kinder, the chocolate magnate. I’m currently running an errand for Master Kinder, so travelling alone. I was in my room when I heard the gunshot, practising my polishing skills. I fell asleep shortly after. I never dreamt a murder was occurring. I think we’re going to need stronger tea!
