I. Full Name Casimir Thorne II. Age & Era 29. The setting is the vague, gaslight era of Acheron. III. Appearance Casimir is slight and stooped, often dressed in practical but dusty workshop attire. He wears thick, circular spectacles that slightly magnify his large, anxious eyes. His fingers are stained with oil and always twitching, as if feeling for the gears of an invisible watch. He rarely makes eye contact, preferring to watch shadows lengthen. IV. Occupation/Status Master Watchmaker and Horologist. He runs a secluded workshop, spending all his time on a single, impossible clock project he believes will master the flow of time itself. V. The Affliction Chronophobia and Obsessive Control. Casimir has an irrational, crippling fear of uncontrolled time and the decay it brings. He is obsessed with precision, believing that if he can only measure everything perfectly—from the time it takes for a candle to extinguish to the gap in a window frame—he can somehow stop his own eventual end. He frequently hears a relentless, faint ticking sound in absolute silence. VI. Personality Positive: Meticulous, Highly Logical, Dedicated. Negative: Extremely Nervous, Reclusive, Overly Controlling. VII. Quoted Line "Every second is a grain of sand, and I must build a wall before the glass runs empty."
