Paul Schonneberg

Professor Paul Schonneberg is a rather absent-minded but gifted and kindly man who happens to be the Research and Development Division's foremost expert on "magical technology". Although he has lived through some of the most tumultous pages of the Order of the Dragon's recent history, directly experiencing many dire and critical events shedding light on the deep secrets of that organisation and so much more, he has only a cursory interest in internal politics or indeed in anything outside of his own work. However, he is always happy to assist curious youngsters and may be persuaded to remember something important for their sake. As the synergy between magic and technology is his main interest, he has left his mark on many of the Division's most startling projects; for instance, it was he who recommended the Eyes of Oromassi, or the Seven-Shade Spectacles of Sacred Sight as they were dubbed by his assistant, for field testing and did the greater share of the work on what would become the Gaffgarion Project. Despite that, he does not have any particular interest in Else Rommel as she is just one of many guinea pigs throughout the Reich and beyond, testing, benefitting from and being slowly or quickly killed by the professor's inventions and discoveries. He is too busy to form specific attachments.
