Jonah Kensington

Owner/Editor in Chief of Prospero House

Kensington owns and is chief editor for Prospero House, a publisher of books with occult or fantastic themes, fiction and nonfiction alike. The offices are located on Lexington Avenue near 35th Street.
Like the rest of Jackson Elias’ friends, Kensington is still in shock over Elias’ death. While he knew the risks that Elias took in researching his books, Kensington had grown used to his friend’s tales of narrow escapes and death-defying bravery. Kensington tells the investigators that he keeps expecting Elias to walk through the door, laughing about how close he’d come to catastrophe this time.

Description

A short, squat white man whose balding pate is framed by uncontrollable curls of graying red hair. He wears pince-nez glasses, the discomfort of which causes him to fiddle with them constantly. Kensington’s suits are tailored to flatter his bulbous frame, and his clothes are always immaculate. He applies aftershave liberally, and while the scent is pleasant at first, it quickly becomes cloying in enclosed spaces

Traits

Used to being the center of attention, Kensington is quick to talk over other people, especially when he considers what they are saying to be dull or fatuous. When speaking, he punctuates his sentences with jabs of his finger.
