Francois Debaux was in charge of the council membership’s medical arrangements. Being of the mature age they were, the gentlemen of the council had to keep medical records at all times, so that any terminal or severe conditions could be assessed immediately and arrangements could be made for successors, if need be. It was an archaic procedure, but with such old organization, tradition was seldom altered.

Apart from basic medical care, the council members were of course subjected to another practice courtesy of Alfred Meiner, third-generation doctor, geneticist in particular, and all-round mad scientist—in the true sense of the word. A genius who did not waste time with petty things like finishing high school, at least until his fourteenth year, Alfred was a virtuoso since his teenage years and it went straight to his head. Needless to say, the narcissistic doctor quickly reverted to the underground where his work would be admired, instead of the mundane praise of grateful families.

But what society viewed as personal and psychological flaws, the Order of the Black Sun naturally saw as potential and he was soon brought into the fold, even in the earlier years. His special work started when he was enlisted to maintain the monstrous Nazi superweapon, Lita Røderic, lapdog godchild of Himmler himself. Needless to say, when Purdue, Sam, and Nina toppled her empire and she disappeared without a trace, Alfred was given another task. Serving the council, the silent high command over the management of the Black Sun was an honor and a much higher calling, he felt.

Francois Debaux was one of his patients and also in charge of Meiner’s schedule and permissions, therefore he was Meiner’s superior. They worked together very well. The old French gentleman had a love for the more refined and avant-garde, so the twisted genius of Alfred Meiner suited his company swimmingly. He fed the mad doctor’s depravities and vanity with unflinching compliments, gifting him with praise every chance he got.

Debaux enjoyed the company of freaks. He loved the mindset of the mentally grotesque, the immorally rabid; and being a medical superintendent at one of the best sanitariums in Paris held his public mask beautifully in place. A man of honor, compassion, and great medical knowledge, Francois Debaux was held in high esteem by society and most of the benefactors of his hospice institution regarded him as a saint. They knew nothing of his past affiliations with Hitler’s legacy or the powerful underground realm of kings and demons where the rules of the modern world held no sway.

It was good to be back in lively old Paris again, the place he promised his heart to, leaving his soul for the devil. This was where he was born and raised for the first twenty years of his life before trailing a young charismatic man he was obsessed with in the 1950s. His pursuit failed and he married a loose, heroin-addicted actress from Berlin instead.

Now he was a widower, by his own doing but not so that anyone would know.
