| Character Quote: | Jean Giraudoux a dit... "Il n'y a pas deux façons de se rendre immortel ici-bas, c'est d'oublier qu'on est mortel." Jean Giraudoux said... "A man has only one way of being immortal on earth: he has to forget he is a mortal." |
| Character Background: | Here was a man from Paris, whose obsession with life and death gave him the determination to change the world. Acton Pierre Roux was the youngest son in a small Parisian family. He lost his older brother to a war, and both his parents to lung cancer. His mother, passing away at 35, was a victim of his father's habits. Mr. Roux, senior, was 77 years old. A graduate of Falculte de Medecine from Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), young Acton spent 16 of his pre-adult years specializing in the fields of Aging and Longevity, and Neurosciences. Passionate in his work, he spent several years both during and after his internship studying the aging process and cancer cell growth among candidates in nursing homes (which happens to be quite illegal). His enthusiasm, unfortunately, led to the discovery of his endeavors by the public, and he was revoked of his license 12 years into his research. Dr. Roux gained the nickname of "The Plague Doctor" for two reasons: The first is from the small collection of masks he keeps from the time of the Bubonic Plague. They are grim reminders of what one must bare for others to live. And the second is an unfounded rumor that he caused plague-like symptoms to his patients during his research while attempting to hinder death. After losing his license and cast out of a prestigious medical community, Acton Roux began to ponder his life's work of delaying aging. At one point, resolving to revenge, he dressed in a Plague Mask and black robe, wishing to use his expertise in Neurosciences to end lives instead. On his way to unleash his neurotoxin, the doctor witnessed an event where detectives from the Parisian sector of ACME Agency followed a woman in red. She was known to him as a figure of lore, Carmen Sandiego. He followed the chase through the mazes of Paris. Feeling compelled to help a fellow outcast, the doctor readied to use his neurotoxins on the detectives should he find an opening. But yet as he watched Carmen Sandiego, he noticed that she had many chances to fatally inflict harm to her pursuers, but chose not to. The thief soon discovered an outlet and narrowly escaped. The woman's actions, more than her skills, made her impossible to capture. Given this renewed ideal, Acton returned to his flat and began a new quest that would lead him to cross paths with VILE. Dr. Acton Roux is now under VILE's employ. |
| Personality: | Acton is an educated man. He seeks knowledge. He can be found quite absorbed in his work, and he is very resolute when a decision has been made. Rarely does he change his mind. People find him strange or interesting, both things give him very few friends, yet he does get along all right with everyone. The doctor does not speak loudly against his enemies. |
