Rufus Courtenay Character in Drop in the Ocean | World Anvil

Rufus Courtenay

Rufus Courtenay is a well known journalist covering stories from the biggest cities of the main island. After getting into a very public scandal involving him tresspassing (in a bedroom) of an influential senator, he got very swiftly kicked out of the newspapers he worked at, and ever since then has been keeping a low profile. He occasionally have been publishing some articles in smaller independent presses. There are rumours going around that he might have left the island completely. No one agrees on where he went exactly, but it is a likely scenario as his articles recently focused on cultural and political themes from abroad and the comparisons with the local societies.   Before the scandal, Rufus was known for his hunger for the truth. It was presumed that nothing can stop him from discovering the true nature of things now matter how unpleasant or secret they were. If he wanted to find an answer to something, he eventually would. He was also involved with several police investigation for his research capabilities. Some people therefore speculate, that the scandal was artificially made in order to divert attention from him and to hide a completely different story in development.   His looks are nothing special, he is tall and lean, probably suffering the fate of many journalists out there - being an underpaid nerd who travels a lot to get the best stories, consumes only coffee and then more coffee while they are trying to finish their articles during the night before the deadline hits. He is known for wearing a dark blue hat.   Let's just say that the entire persona of Rufus Courtenay is shrouded in mysteries and one tragedy - the death of his brother to whom many of his other publications were dedicated. Some speculate he was one of the first victims of the covert actions of the Ocean of Light. But with that we are getting into a deep conspiracy territory here and only Rufus himself probably knows the real story. You can ask him if you can find him first.
