Personality:
Generally, Cassius is quite mild and quiet spoken, always thinking things through before acting on them. He's rather quiet and doesn't talk much but knows how to run a company.

However, if you give him a reason to be, he can get extremely angry and lose his temper. He hates it when people dabble on and waste their time, preferring to get straight to the point and getting things done quickly. He is extremely forward minded and follows through with everything he starts. Although he doesn't usually show it, he really does care for all of the people who work for him.

Positive Traits: Patient, independent, devoted, hardworking.

Negative Traits: Stubborn, inflexible, dwells on the past too much.

History:
Cassius met his wife back in the early years of college as he was studying for a degree in robotics engineering. She was studying for a degree in biology at the time and the two studied together.

They'd first crossed paths in the tech center of the school, both going there daily to do research, study, or just mess around. After a few months of this, he finally plucked up the courage to introduce himself and they hit it off from there.

She was perfect for him; neither of them having too many words to say, they simply enjoyed each other's company, hearing out what few words they had to say to each other. She was gentle, clever, ambitious; pushing him forward and he did the same for her.

After graduating, without the approval of their parents, the two got married and moved to Eridanus to start their new lives together. They brought just enough to survive on, and within a few months, his wife had worked her magic on their small garden. They began selling the produce at the local market, slowly earning enough to open up a small store in the neighborhood, attracting many customers to their small business.

Giving up his love for robotics, he worked with his wife, helping with the gardening and the shop, doing things she couldn't. Shortly afterward, his wife announced with joy that she was pregnant and the two celebrated. Everything was great. Nothing could go wrong. Their shop was growing, their family of two was about to become a family of three; they were happy.

Cassius brought his wife to her doctor's appointments every single time, took care of her and anything she could possibly need to feel comfortable. He pampered her and doted on her as much as possible. However, one day, he had to work later at the shop, unable to accompany his wife to her appointment.

He returned to an empty house.

His wife was no where to be found, there were no signs of struggle, nothing to say she ever came back. The doctor reported that she never arrived at the clinic, her friends said that they didn't see her. No note to say where she had gone. Obviously she had left to go to her appointment, but what happened after she left the house?

He filed reports and requests for searches, but to no avail. The police gave up after a few months, proclaiming her and the child dead, leaving him to scour the city on his own. He was broken, empty, and ever so lost without his wife, despairing over the happy family that had fallen apart so quickly. He blamed himself for the loss of his wife and child; if he'd come home like he usually did, none of this would have happened. If he'd just been there for her...

Even so, he had his shop to take care of, the one thing his wife had wanted to do, plowing forward and slowly expanding it as he searched until it became a chain store, and then a small company, slowly growing until it became the top industry it is today.

Throughout the years, as he worked on the company, he collected newspaper clippings, articles, files; anything he could find relating to kidnappings and connected a few theories he'd been putting together. He reached out to other people who'd lost their family members, growing quite close to a couple of them, and vowed that he would find out what had happened to their family and friends. Together with these few acquaintances and friends, he began searching for those with the skills that could help him uncover the truth.

And then maybe he'd find out what had happened to his family.

Likes: Getting things done, silence, punctuality.

Dislikes: Botched jobs, clingy or nosy people, endangering his fellow workers (But he has to in order to get things done. u A u)
