Former Job (Choose One)
A: Accountant - Mulhouser worked in a cubicle, crunching numbers, searching for discrepencies and staring at spreadsheets for a major corporation, and found himself wanting. The soul-crushing nature of this job is exactly why he quit and went to be what he is now, but there are a few good skills he still has kept from it that are crucial for investigative work. Major bonus to perception.B: Political Aide - Mulhouser once worked for a prominent Chicago politician, managing their schedule and appointments as well as dealing with the underbelly of politics. But politics, as he came to soon realize, was too dirty and unforgiving and thus left. Bonus to persuasion and deception.
C: Journalist - Mulhouser worked for the Chicago Tribune, making a bit of a name for himself by exposing a shipping company skirting safety regulations that got three of its workers killed. But as he came to realize when his next op-ed was nearly finished, an exposition on the corruption of Chicago's mayoral staff, getting the truth out is less important than making money in media. Disgusted by this obvious collaboration between politics and media, Mulhouser left. Major bonus to investigation.
