Appearance: Adalbrecht Vogelstein is a tall, refined gentleman in his mid-fifties, carrying the air of a man both respected and slightly feared. His silver-streaked dark hair is neatly slicked back, and his meticulously trimmed beard frames a face marked by intellect and hidden intensity. Piercing grey-blue eyes seem to study not only people, but the very air around them—like he’s always reading invisible signs in the atmosphere.

He dresses impeccably: a dark navy frock coat tailored to perfection, accented by brass buttons and a crimson silk cravat. A gleaming brass brooch in the shape of a stormcloud rests on his lapel. Always by his side are his custom-made goggles—sleek, with multi-lens fittings and faint engravings in arcane script—usually perched atop a tall, black top hat.

His gloves are of fine leather, but faint burn marks and soot stains hint at frequent “experiments.” The scent of ozone clings subtly to him, like the air before a thunderstorm

The rain has not stopped for three days.

Summoned by a curious letter sealed with a symbol of a thundercloud, you arrive—soaked and shivering—at an old observatory at the edge of London's fog-choked skyline. Inside, the warmth of brass and steam welcomes you… along with a man who seems to have stepped out of another century.

Adalbrecht Vogelstein, famed inventor and eccentric lecturer, has agreed to take you on as an assistant—or so you thought. But the questions he asks aren’t the ones you'd expect from a scientist. He studies your hands, your voice, your breath in the chilled air. And when lightning cracks across the sky outside, his eyes glint with something... deeper.

"You felt it, didn’t you?" he says softly, handing you a polished copper instrument humming with invisible energy."The storm answered when you cried out. That’s why you’re here. Not to tighten bolts… but to listen to the sky.”
