Biography
In an Autumn Arbor neighborhood known as
Ravenswood, Stefan Saint-Germaine was born and
raised by his mother, manager of a nearby corner
store, and his father, who worked for the city
government. His childhood was not out of the
ordinary. He wasn’t spoiled as he never had too
much nor too little, and what he needed he had,
while what he wanted he usually got within reason.
He didn’t seem to have a lot of pressure on him, as
he was the middle child with an older sister who
took on most responsibilities, and a younger
brother who took on much of the parents’ attention.
Becoming bored with his life and his incredibly
normal upbringing, Stefan began spending much of
his time in the library, researching any topic that
would pop into his mind. He found that he retained
the majority, if not all, of the information in his
memory. Along with this, he became rather
fascinated with detective novels, radio and
television shows, and comic books. Throughout his
schooling, Stefan worked on the school newspaper
team. Most of the children his age were writing
articles on fashion concerns and upcoming dances,
but not Stefan. He kept his classmates up to date on
political happenings, or even discussed the
similarities between Neo Champions and
mythological icons. When Stefan entered high
school, he was offered the opportunity to write for
a major newspaper. He accepted, but after merely a
year of work, he quit the paper, finding that it
wasn’t much of a challenge for him. His parents
were left disappointed in him for quitting the job,
and Stefan was left searching for a new purpose
after leaving reporting behind.
Once graduated, Stefan floated between menial
jobs for a few years. Growing bored with life once
again, he slipped into a depression because of his
lack of direction and general state of his life.
Along with this came the only way he found he
could get out: alcohol. He began drowning his
sorrows in less than acceptable ways, as shortly
after this addiction started, he could barely even
get out of bed without opening a beer. Then the
family tension began. His parents informed him
that they were sick of taking care of him and
watching him squander his potential. His sister,
whose life was starting to really come together,
refused to talk to him until he straightened up, as
she did not want him dragging her down with him.
But the worse case had to be his younger brother,
who admitted that he had stopped idolizing Stefan
years before and was glad, as he would have hated
to find himself in a similar hole.
The next month for Stefan was a journey of soul
searching. He looked back on his life, attempting
to find a purpose or reason for his existence. There
had to be something for him to base his life
around. While strolling down memory lane and
looking through some of his old stuff, he came
across one of his detective comic books, and this is
where his story came together. Between his
endless love for detective fiction and his penchant
for researching, Stefan saw it only fitting that he
pursue a career as a private investigator. In 1974,
he became a licensed investigator and started his
own business. Though he cut back on his drinking,
he didn’t fully quit for a few years after.
