Edward Rochester || Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brönte

Edward Rochester is an aloof, sardonic, proud, and intelligent man in his late 30's. From Victorian era England, he lives at Thornfield Hall with his housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax and his bastard child Adèle. Rochester speaks with class, but is often very sarcastic and teasing. He has questionable morals and acts strangely sometimes, dodging questions about his personal life and past. Edward Rochester is of average height, with an athletic build described as broad-chested and thin-flanked, though neither tall nor graceful. His face is harsh featured and melancholy-looking, with black hair, a "decisive nose", a colourless, olive face, square, massive brow, broad and jetty eyebrows, deep eyes, strong features, and a firm, grim mouth. Edward Rochester has a hidden marriage with Bertha Mason, who unbeknownst to him is mentally ill. Rochester locked Bertha in the attic of Thornfield, treating her more like a animal than a human being. He doesn't like to speak of Bertha as it reminds him of his oh so sad life EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT EVEN THE VICTIM LIKE HELLO??? Edward Rochester used to have a mistress named Celine Varon, who cheated on him with another man. Celine then gave birth to Adèle, who is presumably Rochester's child, although he refuses to acknowledge her as such.
