My client


When one first hears the name “angel watcher” one would most likely think of either a person such as Constantine, a bitter person whose job it is to basically stalk angels. Their life style is simple and poor, walls covered with Polaroids and newspaper cut outs, dark corners and scattered holy relics. Or on the other hand one would think of a holy person, well endowed by their job they would live in a house that best mirrors the world of the angels which they are following. White walls with marble columns. Silk curtains and a massive skyward openings in the ceiling with large gold telescope poking through it, gazing into the heavens. But my client is neither and both of these.

He is a 25 year old millionaire. A computer prodigy by 20 he designs a series of revolutionary computer programs for the military to assist enemy plane tracking and energy surge locators. This quickly earns him a life time of riches which lets him retire very early in life. Ever keen to improve his programs my client constantly fiddles with the program till one night stumbles onto an anomaly in his read outs. Confused and interested he investigates. Pinpointing the location he arrives at the scene to momentarily witness an angel. Fascinated by this encounter my client devotes his life to find out as much about them as possible. Having the assets he goes about constructing a massive research lab within a mansion as a cover.

While still enjoying human contact my client mainly is in his secluded world spending most of his time searching and seeking out angels. Though he does know he must keep up appearances and venture out into the world keep his friends unaware of his second life which he dares not tell them, as for fear of being institutionalised. Much the same applies to his home. While he spends most of his time in his lab a portion of the house has been left unchanged so when guests appear the elusion can be maintained he is a normal millionaire. Junk food fuels his body for the most part; while he can be a slob for the part he knows to keep a clean work environment to remain productive. When travelling outside to seek out the angels my client dresses in designer cloths and drives expensive cars as he sees no problem in searching in style. But while money makes up his exterior he does not feel that he has a higher place in society, just that he is a normal person like everyone else. Even though his constant search for angels often takes a religious path he finds the concept of God hard to handle and remains scientific in mind, he feels there is always a scientific explanation rather spiritual one. In the end all his encounters with angels so far have been brief and from afar but he hopes to get closer to these mysterious beings and one day have a personal encounter.
