The main character of The Lilith Box.
Mental characteristics
The man has passed his life with little to show for the years he has worked. He is alone, and though not destitute, he does not have enough to afford much luxury. He worked as a young man on the docks, rising to become a foreman. Later, he became part of lower management, a station he never rose beyond.
He has spent his life near the woman, whom he once loved, though she always insisted they were but friends. For four decades, he devoted himself to checking on her daily, to see what she might need, then returning with whatver trinket or necessity she mentioned.
One day, while on his daily errand, he spied a small clockwork box, lacquered in black and crimson, with an intricate lock mechanism. Enchanted by it, he bought it and took it home. Since that day, the box has been the focus of his life.
The man is a cisgender straight male.
He has known only one sexual partner when the story begins, a street trollop he spend twenty minutes with when he was nineteen.
The man was educated in the public manner. He learned to read and write and the basics of the history of his urban home.
The man gave fourty years of his life to the shipping company, Alfred & Hamilton. He began as a simple dockworker, then a foreman, and finally a dock supervisor, but he never went beyond that. At the beginning of our story, he has just retired from Alfred & Hamilton.
His only failure is in failing to convince the woman to be his mate.
At the beginning of the story, the man is simple in thought and speech. As the box has more and more influence over him, he becomes more devious and cunning; his speech becomes more intricate and more dissimilating.
Originally, he was guided by his love for the woman. The box exerts an influence over him making him more and more interested in what he can possess, until he has become a domineering, bitter man.
