Lawrence Leakey the Third is an esteemed expeditionist, and a Professor of Religious Anthropology at Oxford University — as his father was before him, and his father before that. A stolid partilineage has now carried the torch for three sequential generations, to the point where this endowed chair is practically seen as hereditary. It’s not a stretch to assume therefore that he’s what might tactfully be referred to as “comfortable”.
The field of Anthropology has come a long way since his grandfather’s glory days at behest of the British Empire, and the Third seems a touch more humble; quieter, in comparison. While his predecessor was cultivating a cult-like following with brazen and revolutionary new ideas at the height of the Age of Enlightenment, the new Law doesn’t much like to talk about his accomplishments, a private man who prioritises a stable work-life balance. Silver now streaks his hair, and the impermeable bachelor seems unlikely to be succeeded by a Fourth.
| Ethics in Science
The search for knowledge and blindness to his biases have led the Professor down dark paths. | Cunning Linguist
He’s fluent in languages you’ve never even heard of, and his translation services are for hire. |
| Swiss Foreign Policy
There is no such thing as a necessary war. Law rejects political partisanship in favour of neutrality and nonintervention with the Big Three, and prefers diplomacy to conflict. | The Empire on Which the Sun Sets
His best days are behind him. His looks, his fortune — and most of all, he hopes, his legacy — are all fading into time. |
