There's something just a little off about this guy. His skin is pale, like he doesn't get out quite enough, with a yellowish tint that isn't jaundice but maybe he wants to go to a doctor anyway. He's tall and thin, with a thin nose, thin lips, high cheekbones, and blue-grey eyes that are made for staring holes right through people. His forehead is very high, the hairline starting to march towards the back of his skull, but for right now, his thick brown hair is holding off the assault. His ears are smaller than they should be, and his hands are long and thin. He moves oddly, as well; utterly still one moment, exploding into sudden motion. His voice is soft, clipped, with a Midwestern accent. His age rests somewhere in the thirties. Solomon is a Chicago boy, born and bred. His parents were working class in one of the rougher neighborhoods of the city; by many regards, he's done well to get where he is as a junior member of the faculty at the prestigious University of Chicago. He's a forensic entomologist, although he teaches a fair number of gen ed biology classes for undergrads due to being the junior member of his department. Aside from the tenure grind, Solomon also consults with the CPD and other organizations when they have problems that fall into his particular specialties. He's got a reputation as being good at his job, but a little...unsettling. For those in the Lost community, it's easy to figure out why: Solomon is a member of the Autumn Court, the Court of Fear. He's only recently returned back to the city, having fled after he escaped his durance. He has no previous association with the Freehold, but seems open to helping out now that he's back.
Rachel - Undergrad student and fellow Lost. Aleks - Seems polite enough and overly generous. A lot of hair. Sam - Nice enough and she has a raven. Nadia - Detective. Seems remarkably competent for a local. Hazel - Chief ME. Excellent coffee, needs more sleep.
