John Paul Webster was born in 1820 in the sovereign country of Britland. A first-generation Anglishman, his parents emigrated from southern Sudan following the increase of hostilities between neighboring Kongo with Zululand, fearing the conflict would soon spill over. Upon reaching Britland, they legally changed their tribal name Wemba to the surname Webster, in hopes of helping their soon-to-be-born son avoid racial prejudice.
As a child, John was extremely bright, often scoring at the top of his class in maths and alchemistry. He also made friends easily, despite his foreign appearance, due to a calm and assured manner and a talent for listening to all sides of a story fairly. By the time he progressed to university, he had already amassed a large circle of colleagues and professional peers.
John attended the Bristol College of Alchemical Education, achieving an unprecedented triple doctorate in a span of only six years. His reputation for excellence in the fields of electro-spirit mitigation, micro-clockwork, and mathematical fundamentalism spread throughout the sovereignty, and he had his pick of employment upon graduation. Dr. Webster soon took a position at the Britland Institute of High Physical Mechanistics, and it was during this time that he developed his most famous theory: the Special Consideration of Molecular Cogwork, which defines the relation between mechanisms and their animus as simultaneous functions of one another.
This and other world-famous works made Dr. Webster the natural choice for Dean of Examinations at the Figueroa Archive; he was hand-picked by Admiral Figueroa himself, who had been an admirer of his work for decades. Thanks to his firm but fair vigilance and keen alchemical understanding, the Archive functions with astounding effectiveness by his direction.
