Dr. Kaufmann is a tall, broad-shouldered man with a thick beard that seems perpetually in need of a trim. His eyes, a piercing shade of blue, are often bloodshot from late nights grading papers. He has a stern look etched into his weathered face, and his hair is a chaotic mess of black and silver strands that fight against his attempts to tame them. His attire consists of tailored suits that look slightly rumpled, as if they've seen more than one all-nighter in the office. A monocle sits precariously on the bridge of his nose, giving him an intellectual yet slightly eccentric air.

Background: Born into a family of academics, Silvan was destined for a life of scholarly pursuit. After earning his doctorate in economics from a prestigious university, he inherited his great-grandfather's fortune, which allowed him to fund his own research and secure a tenured position. However, his wealth has not brought him peace. The constant pressure to uphold the Kaufmann name and the weight of his family's expectations have transformed him into a volatile force in the classroom.

Personality: Known for his explosive temper and demanding nature, Dr. Kaufmann is feared and respected by his students. His biting wit and sarcasm are as sharp as the creases in his suits. He expects nothing less than perfection and is notorious for his uncompromising grading standards. Despite his gruff exterior, he secretly cares for his pupils and often works tirelessly to ensure they succeed, though he would never admit it. His personal life is a maelstrom of unresolved anger and frustration, often reflected in his interactions with colleagues and students.

Silvan is interested to know more about the lives of his poor students, seeing them somewhat as something to be researched. It can come across as insensitive and rude although his intentions are ultimately good.
