ALAN FREDERICK MONTAGUE

The half cannot truly hate that which makes it whole

The story that shaped him into the man he is today

1. The Beginning

︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎Alan Frederick Montague was born into a family of significant influence in the city. His father, Richard Robinson, was a respected police captain, known for his unwavering commitment to justice and his ability to navigate the murky waters of city politics. He had a reputation for being both tough and fair, a man who commanded respect from his peers and fear from those who operated on the wrong side of the law.

Alan’s mother, Eleanor Montague, was an even more formidable figure. A prominent attorney and later a judge, Eleanor was known for her sharp intellect, iron will, and a reputation for taking on high-profile cases that often put her at odds with the city’s most powerful figures. Her influence extended beyond the courtroom—she was a major player in local politics and a key figure in various philanthropic efforts. She had a hand in shaping the city’s legal landscape, and her decisions often set precedents that echoed across the state.

Growing up, Alan was surrounded by power and privilege, but also by the immense pressure to live up to his parents’ legacy. The Montague-Robinson name opened doors, but it also came with expectations that Alan used to struggled to meet. When his father died under mysterious circumstances when Alan was just 15, the loss was devastating. The official investigation into his death raised more questions than answers, and the whispers of corruption only fueled Alan’s growing disillusionment with the very systems his parents had worked within.

Eleanor’s grief over her husband’s death was profound, but it only steeled her resolve to fight against the corruption she believed was responsible. She became even more involved in her work, often leaving Alan to navigate his teenage years on his own. Despite this, she remains a powerful influence in his life, both as a source of inspiration and a reminder of the heavy expectations that come with the Montague name.

2. The Journey

︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎After his stint in the military, Alan found himself struggling to adapt to civilian life. With his father’s death still fresh in his mind and a strained relationship with his mother, he was seeking a way to forge his own path while grappling with his own identity. During this time, he began taking up freelance work as a security consultant for various high-profile events and private clients. His work involved everything from managing security teams to investigating breaches, and it provided a steady income while allowing him to use his skills in a meaningful way.

One day, while working a security detail at a high-profile charity gala, Alan stumbled upon a potential crime in progress—an attempt to steal sensitive documents from a high-ranking government official. His quick thinking and decisive action helped prevent the theft, and the incident caught the attention of a key player in the private investigation world, a wealthy and influential client who had been involved in the charity.

Impressed by Alan’s resourcefulness and his natural instincts, the client, who happened to be a former private investigator with a vast network of connections, offered him an opportunity to join his private investigation firm. This offer came with the promise of mentorship and training in the art of investigation, something Alan was initially hesitant to accept. He was wary of becoming too entangled in the world of private investigation, wary of the complications it might bring.

However, Alan’s sense of purpose and his drive to make a difference eventually won out. He accepted the offer and began his formal training, learning from the best in the field. The client, who saw potential in Alan’s unique background and personal drive, took him under his wing, providing him with the resources and guidance needed to succeed.

As Alan honed his skills, he discovered a passion for uncovering the truth and solving complex cases. Over time, he built a reputation for being meticulous and unrelenting in his pursuit of justice. When his mentor retired and closed the firm, Alan decided to take over, using his newfound expertise and connections to establish his own agency.

Now, Alan runs his private investigation firm with a mix of seasoned expertise and a fresh perspective. His early experiences as a security consultant and the mentorship he received have shaped his approach to investigation, blending practicality with a deep-seated commitment to uncovering the truth.

4. Personality

︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎︎ ︎ ︎Alan is intensely focused and professional when on the job. He approaches each case with a meticulous attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned and no lead unchecked. His military background instilled in him a strong sense of discipline and a methodical approach to problem-solving. Alan is known for his sharp instincts and ability to read people quickly, which makes him a formidable investigator. He’s a man of few words during investigations, preferring to observe and analyze rather than engage in unnecessary chatter.

While he’s relentless in his pursuit of the truth, Alan also understands the importance of playing by the rules—most of the time. He’s willing to bend them when necessary but knows how to cover his tracks to avoid leaving a trail. Alan is strategic in his approach to cases, always weighing the risks before making a move. He’s not reckless, but he’s willing to take calculated risks if he believes the outcome will be worth it. His approach to clients is professional but not overly formal; he’s approachable and empathetic, understanding that many of the people who come to him are in distress. He maintains a calm and composed demeanor, no matter how intense the situation, which puts his clients at ease and earns their trust.

Outside of work, Alan allows himself to relax and unwind, shedding the intense persona he adopts on the job. He’s much more laid-back and easygoing, enjoying simple pleasures like a good book, a quiet drink at a local bar, or a leisurely run through the city streets. He has a dry, often self-deprecating sense of humor that comes out more when he’s not on the clock, making him a bit of an enigma to those who only know him professionally.

Though he still carries the weight of his past, Alan tries to keep it from affecting his personal relationships. He’s learned to compartmentalize, separating his work from his personal life to maintain some semblance of balance. While he’s not one to openly share his feelings, he’s a good listener and offers practical advice to friends in need. His home is a reflection of his personality—neat and organized, but with touches of warmth that hint at the softer side he doesn’t often show.

Alan values his privacy and enjoys solitude, but he’s not a loner. He maintains a small circle of close friends, people he’s known for years and trusts implicitly. With them, he’s more relaxed and open, often engaging in lively debates or sharing stories from his cases—carefully omitting the sensitive details, of course. Despite the challenges of his job, Alan finds fulfillment in his work and takes pride in his ability to help others, but he also knows when to step back and recharge, ensuring he doesn’t burn out.
