Contents:

27 y.o., French

Expedition's photographer

Blonde, constantly looks a little spooked and exhausted. Light grey eyes, nose with a bump. Gets smiley once someone asks if he's alright to prove he actually is. 177 cm, slim build, more an artist, than a traveler. Pale skin unfit for the sun

Always wears a hat and prefers to hide in the shade to escape sun. Meticulous with how clean his clothes it

Easy to scare, a little naïve. Melancholic, prone to think of 'bigger philosophical matters' and question his life choices and value to the world. Has a weird sense of humor, always tries to find a pun and gets almost offended when nobody laughs: chin darting up, lips pursed, cheeks reddening
Loves his three cameras and cherishes them deeply. Cleans with brushes from sand every evening. Gets sick easily

34 y.o., German

Expedition linguist/philologist. Specializes on Ancient Egyptian. Knows Ancient Greek and Latin. Speaks English with German accent and sometimes forgets some English words

Dark-haired, dark-eyed. Average face: all facial features are regular, happy he can blend in with the crowd. Tall, 186 cm, slim, long arms and neck, sloping shoulders, perfect posture

Wears wool pants even in the heat. Has more shirts than all the other men on the expedition combined, can change three times during one working week

Upbeat, mildly annoying. Can't bear being alone for long. Entertaining, comes up with silly games to to pass the time. Loves talking about love. Once divorced with a scandal (refuses to get into the details), dreams of a family with four children

Loves playing cards and learning curse words and phrases in every language possible, collects them in a tiny notebook

Was born into an academic family in Leipzig, studied Egyptology, Classics, and comparative linguistics before war interrupted his doctorate. Served as an army interpreter and returned to uni determined to concern himself with dead languages rather than modern politics. In 1923 hyperinflation destroyed his savings, while an ill-judged marriage to a celebrated stage actress ended in a divorce widely reported in the local press. He accepted Crosier’s offer partly for the salary and partly because communal expedition life spares him the solitude he finds unbearable

Great at architectural drawings Has a separate room in the Expedition house that locks

Beautiful woman with long dark hair usually kept up and a humped nose. Rather tall, 172cm, lean, strong. Long artistic fingers

A strict, reserved woman. Would never show she's offended, but will remember the offense forever. Watches everything and everyone, knows everything, even unspoken. Would be a perfect gossip partner, but never gossips, just has the information to herself. Proud of her skill and rightfully so

Smokes and loves a good wine. A great gourmet, she considers trying local foods her hobby. Knows some card tricks

Was raised in Bloomsbury by an architect father and a mother who illustrated books on medieval art, receiving her name from their shared fascination with Arthurian literature. Entered the Architectural Association shortly after it began admitting women and distinguished herself in measured drawing and architectural reconstruction. After working in a London architect’s office, she was recommended to the expedition for her exceptional precision. Negotiated her own salary, professional credit in the final publication, and a private locking room in the expedition house
