Data File – Detective Samuel Neff
This is the first data file in the Reality Imagination Universe. This is the place where reoccurring characters will be listed in summary fashion. More details can be fond in the stories they appear in.
Name: Samuel Neff
Background: Samuel Neff is someone that has seen a lot in his life, having been a soldier in the army, experiencing combat in the military and currently working as a homicide detective. He knows what a man is capable of doing, knows the darkness that many envelope themselves in. He’s not calloused but exacerbated. Jaded to an extent. He wants desperately to do more but feels constrained by the system he represents. Nevertheless, he’s committed to doing what he can where he’s at and wouldn’t be above bending the law to make sure the right thing was done.
He carries himself lethargically, almost in slow motion like he has all the time in the world. He’s a little out of shape but not too much. He likes to bury himself in his works and currently has the most closed cases out of every homicide detective on the Toledo Police Homicide Department. He’s unyielding when it comes to his cases.
