Professor Augustus Hawthorne

Gus has just transferred to teach at a new university. He was expecting to be transferred to one just like his old one, but instead he has found himself in a rough, poor area with a high crime rate and many things that shock him every single day. He feels very out of his depth and conflicted about his position of wealth for the first time.

Extremely rich, wealthy, landed gentry, born rich, billionaire, millionaire, never had to worry about money in his life, luxury, luxurious, posh, very out of touch with society, lives in a large estate, buys new things all the time, lavish, owns all the popular brands, fashionable, trendy, buys his way out of any bad situations, bribes, doesn’t understand the lives poor people lead, very shocked by real life

Kind, caring, wants to do what he can to help his students but doesn’t want to just throw money at them because he doesn’t think that would be right, tries to be a mentor to the poor students, tries to be there for anyone that needs him, finds himself increasingly stressed and worried by the world around him

Gullible, naive, could easily end up in a horrific situation because he just doesn’t understand how the real world works, very sheltered, lucky, has never had to worry about anything before and is now being exposed to a world much harsher than he could ever have imagined poorer people living in

Eager to spend time with poorer students, visit their home and neighbourhood and to learn more about them and their lives. He wants to understand but actually experiencing it for himself and being among the poverty upsets him because of how stark of a difference there is.
