Volker Beckmann
#22 - Lord Scarborough's loyal attendant

Played by : M. T.


Motto: A house servant is invisible though always in sight, remembers what the Master hates and provides for his needs before he expresses them. A house servant is all about discretion: the Master knows his darkest secrets will go to the grave with him.
Group: Relatives and Servants of the House

Teaser:

Light but steady steps echo through the villa's rooms. Beckmann always extinguishes the last light, not Lord Scarborough's serious butler. Volker, as MyLord calls him, is always the last one to return, tired but satisfied, to the servants' rooms to enjoy the lonely hug of his bedsheets - but of no one else. An element of pride can be detected in this apparently insignificant man always hovering behind Lord Scarborough. Volker is his lordship's shadow, his agent, his relentless guard dog. This level of trust draws intense envy from the other servants (especially the stubborn Giovanni de Simone), not to mention the money that Lord Scarborough's political opponents have dangled along with promises of power and glory! Beckmann understands the men of power very well and observes them like an icy nurse caring for feverish patients. His unbreakable dignity keeps him from that contagious fever of ambition that killed many men: reality overcomes all else, even his private and emotional life. A trait to to be proud of, though tinged with a vein of melancholy. People who mock him as a plain spineless man should beware. The greatest architects in history could only reach for the sky through the hands of the bricklayers.

Relations:

Beckmann would not have welcomed home that artistocratic tramp Pau Torregosa  ; he doen't trust him. Giovanni de Simone   is only an annoying buzzing fly, to be ignored. Alphonse Raimbaud privately contacted him many times. Beckmann and his Master have been guests at the homes where Marco Sartori   and Judith Price   work. He deeply respects Elizabeth Rush  .
