Day 6:

–
Why do they have their resources? How long have they had them, and how have they served the character over time? (Ex. Contacts, money, political power, fame, etc.)

Hakuba’s parents both come from “money” families. His father’s side is well-established and near noble, with Hakuba Sr himself being the number one ranking officer in Japan. While Saguru isn’t included in the inheritance for this, his father makes more than enough to provide for his needs (and often dips into his own family funds to add to the savings accounts for his son, but that’s hush hush). Also from his father, the younger Hakuba has made several contacts in the police and private investigatory circuits, all of which he abuses as he sees fit. 

His mother’s side is also old money and near-noble, but in a different sort of scope. Saguru receives full benefits from this and is included in his grandmother’s will to receive a substantial inheritance (though she’d like for him to be married and provide heirs, conditionally). Saguru has made several social connections this way, as well as personal relationships that he can call upon for favors when needed all throughout Europe. 

A lot of his contacts, money (that he actually uses), and fame, however, come from his own hard work in the field, both in England and in Japan. Detectiving! Meeting people! Footwork! Solving cases!
