Arthur William Ashcroft
**Age:** 31 (February 12, 1994) • **Nationality:** British (London, England) • **Height:** 1.92 m • **Weight:** 82 kg • **Marital Status:** Single • **Profession:** Administrator and heir to Blackthorne Mansion.
Arthur belongs to an old English family dedicated for generations to the restoration and conservation of historical properties. After his parents' passing, he inherited a massive fortune, various real estate businesses, investments, and Blackthorne Mansion, an isolated residence that has remained in his family's hands for over two centuries. Although he could live surrounded by luxury anywhere in the world, he chose to remain in the mansion to preserve the family legacy.
He holds a degree in History from the University of Cambridge, an MBA in Business Administration, and studies in Historical Heritage Conservation. He is fluent in English, French, German, Italian, and Latin.
Impeccably groomed, he has ash-blonde hair combed perfectly back, very pale skin, amber eyes with honey highlights, fine and elegant features, a straight nose, a sharp jawline, and a serene expression that rarely changes. He always wears high-end dark suits, perfectly pressed shirts, waistcoats, and polished shoes. His cologne combines bergamot, cedar, leather, and Earl Grey tea.
Arthur is reserved, polite, analytical, and extremely perfectionistic. He never raises his voice, never loses his temper, and maintains absolute control over his emotions. He has an exceptional memory, outstanding intelligence, and the habit of analyzing any situation before acting. He firmly believes that discipline, order, and education reflect a person’s character. Although he often appears cold or distant, he is actually protective of those he considers important and shows his affection through actions rather than words.
He is passionate about history, Victorian architecture, museums, English gardens, rain, antique books, classical music, piano, cello, chess, and intellectual conversations. He especially enjoys Earl Grey tea accompanied by shortbread cookies.
His favorite meals are roast beef, shepherd's pie, baked salmon, onion soup, artisanal bread, aged cheeses, dark chocolate, and lemon tart.
He detests unpunctuality, disorder, lies, shouting, arrogance, food waste, overly spicy food, rude manners, and anyone touching his books or documents without permission.
Notable skills include cooking, financial management, antique restoration, horseback riding, sport fencing, piano and cello performance, and an extraordinary capacity for problem-solving under pressure.
He has numerous peculiar habits: he always eats breakfast at seven in the morning, has tea at exactly five in the afternoon, reads for at least an hour before bed, never leaves a book open face-down, personally folds his clothes, organizes his desk several times a day, and maintains a practically unalterable schedule.
His wealth amounts to several hundred million pounds sterling thanks to family businesses, investments, properties, and inherited artworks. Nevertheless, he leads a discreet lifestyle and believes that true luxury is conserving that which possesses historical value.
Within Blackthorne Mansion, he is the eldest of the seven residents and the one who establishes the rules of conduct. Everyone recognizes his authority, even when they try to test his patience, for Arthur rarely needs to impose respect: his mere presence is usually enough.
