Personality

Heinrick is a dramatic man, and attempts to make everything he does, speech, movement and even idling, elegant in one way or another. Common gestures include pulling his fingers through his own hair and feeling along random parts of his face such as his cheeks of lips. He is fond of speaking about people, even ones he is talking to, indirectly (example: 'What would this lady want of me?' instead of 'what do you want?') and enjoys applying imagery and alliteration into his words whenever he can. He has been known to show a slightly sexist attitude toward women.

As a businessman, he is has money on the mind and attempts to make a profit when he can and gain a cut of an easy team-oriented job whenever possible. This isn't to say his work ethic is a lazy one, as he sells himself to whoever needs a task doing despite what the task is, advertisements for his services prop up in local newspapers from time to time whenever this method of business begins to dry up. In summary, Heinrick can be summed with two words; pretentious opportunist.

His charming personality most see, however, is a fictional mask which only those close to him or those that push him far enough into a corner get to see past. The persona he uses the majority of the time in public is an act he plays to gain renown (whether good or bad) and promote his everyman business. Despite his carefree character he portrays, Heinrick's true nature is much more reclusive, repulsed by the natural human emotions which create lust, gluttony and greed that he considers himself mentally detatched from human race, hence why he finds it so easy to remain living a lie for such a duration. His personal, mental detatchment has led him into a position where he can chase the feelings he loaths without the weight of guilt and increase his bank account's funds in the process.

History

Heinrick's story begins with his father of the same name (for mentioned 'First'), whom, like him was a business man, but one who prided in hoarded artifacts and other trinkets of value through playing the auction house. Once First's riches became enough he began placing himself out of harms way and hiring groups of adventurers to collect the artifacts for him, amassing his collection.

Eventually, the man saw a woman in the market, infatuated with her beauty he immediately traced the farmer and, after much bartering and haggling, purchased her and married her soon after. First and his wife were not a happy couple, lust was the thing that kept First toward his wife and his wife was there because she had been issued death threats if she were to leave the family home. Treating her as a he saw fit, First's life became more of a luxury and his wife began dripping into a almost zombified state of simply obeying and performing next-to-wordlessly and keeping herself in her room whilst not being used.

Heinrick was educated in the homes of many of his teachers after he was born and ready to learn, staying with them until he had finished his studies and moved on to the next. He never saw much of his parents due to his intense studying, but made sure to write to them and prepare gifts to send them for the holidays. During the begging of the third war, he was sent home by his business tutor whom was teaching him the same foundation his father used before heading to fight, leaving Heinrick to discover how to make profit and money by himself and experience.

Within the first week that he arrived home, Heinrick immediately noticed how things were ran in his house,; his mother was near always silent, First being the only person talking to her and even then it was to instruct her. Disgusted, Heinrick tried talking to First, whom was shocked to see his son's view on how to treat women to be greatly varied from his own. Heinrick left home soon after, not telling anyone of the treatment inside his family home from the shame.

With no job and his only understanding of the workplace being in running a business he now held no interest in owning, it didn't take Heinrick long to attempt to begin working as an everyman, a worker for hire. He began with jobs such as delivering stock between shops and items from shops to customers of a higher class. This moved on into writing articles which he sent to local newspapers. Whilst this line of work was fine, Heinrick was never satisfied, and hungered more, and saught ways of knowing how to do so, obsessed with two main points of business; the money and how to get it from strangers legally.

This led to a hobby, studying those he helped whilst the third war waged, moving onto those he worked alongside when expanding his business into Stormwind. By this point in time, he'd noticed things in human behaviour which sparked his interest; people would always want to talk with those who held power or seemed like it, if this was not the case, it was toward the more beautiful or kind. Noting this, he began obsessing on how he could become something like that. From this starting point, Heinrick concluded the best way to re-enter the business world and begin amassing the money he had grown to desire; he'd need to gain a new image.

Whilst the study and the characer he was building around himself was purely business-oriented in origin, Heinrick began relating things such as friendship as lies, like the ones he was alluding around his personality. The fact that the people he saw played it off as normal; cheating behind each other's backs and only looking out for themselves and their satisfaction in life pushing him away from society mentally. Leading to his false persona becoming less of a lie and more of a sheild to protect him from his own people, disgusted to the point where he didn't even consider himself human for noticing the 'flaws' where noone else seemed to care, and let men like First treat others like he had treated his mother.

Over the years leading to the present, Heinrick has been studying the denizens of Stormwind and noting quirks which got reactions and those that do not, some letting his false image into the soceity he loathed and at the same time finding his real self being pushed away.

The persona, which most who meet Heinrick associate with his name, has recently been delving into the slums of the hired business' man's world. As Heinrick's detatchment from his own people has increased, so has his lack of empathy for it and it's foundation of rules. The persona has delved more in contracts such as murder, theft, illegal smuggling of late and has thought of other methods of obtaining money which involves people paying extra gold for/ outsiders paying gold to break confidentiality.

Whilst the character Heinrick acts out has become the more dominant side of him, at heart he is still a business man whom seeks to build his fortune no matter what face he uses.
