Jude Buckley
Mr. Jude Buckley
Jude is a practitioner of science. He was born to a wealthy family, and is the nephew of a baron. Jude's family are family friends with Baron Carter's family, and he grew up attending fancy balls in Destham. As a result, he has a decent relationship with Baron Carter, who still invites him to events, now that they both live in the same city. This relationship allows Jude to keep up to date with what's going on in the upper classes, even if he himself doesn't get involved much. Jude has studied extensively at Oxford University, specialising in Chemistry and Biology.
For his work, Jude likes to take different parts of dead things, sew them together, and then bring the creature back to life. He's able to do this with a mixture of science and Magic. He doesn't know this, but this is because he is really a Dredge.

Personal history
Jude was born into a wealthy family and is the nephew of a baron. This meant his childhood was spent attending posh parties held by all the nobility in the area, and Baron Carter was one of those people. Jude has always had a deep interest in science, which led him to study chemistry and biology at Oxford University.
After leaving university, he used his knowledge to start creating and animating animals from the dead body parts of other animal carcasses. Once reanimated, they drew the attention of the fae community in Nightwood Forest, who like to use them as guardians.
More recently, he has gotten into business at this time with Senprus, who wanted to exchange the blood supply Jude gets from local morgues and doctor's offices and hospitals for the dead body parts of The Darkwalkers' victims. When he mentioned to Senprus that Baron Carter's estranged daughter Alice Carter was coming home, he was 'persuaded' by Senprus to get him and the rest of The Darkwalkers a ticket into her homecoming ball.

Failures & Embarrassments
It took Jude a full year to work out how to bring his creations to life. He grew so attached to this animal after it came back to life, in fact, that he has kept it ever since. This is his cat, Benji.

Social
Family Ties
Jude is the nephew of a Baron. His father owns a coal mine a town over. He was always far closer to his mother than his father, which has given him a gentle nature. The wealthy, noble family ties means that he experiences the upsides of nepotism a lot and doesn't really realise. He is too absorbed in his work to really care, but keeps going to the posh events because 'they may be useful at some point'.

Jude is an atheist.

Jude talks like he is in a business meeting, all of the time. He doesn't keep many friends and doesn't often stop by for social visits.

Wealth & Financial state
Jude has an average amount of wealth. He receives large payments from the fae folk that buy his creations, but it costs quite a lot to get the different parts he needs for his projects, so the margin there isn't large.
