City Name: Gregory Wilton. Position: A librarian/sometimes teacher.
History: Gregory is a member of the huge and powerful Wilton family, spearheaded by their wealthy inventor of a father. Out of the tons of children his father produced, Greg is one of the younger boys and generally hasn't had a whole lot of interaction with the four oldest of the family (who are generally regarded as the closest to their father). That said, and in spite of being seen as young and naive and sometimes odd, Greg did have his place in the family. He was a serious, smart kid who didn't have much of a sense of humour, but he was nonetheless content with his life and loyal to his family.
So even after the second oldest threw a fit one day over a new kid and effectively drew a divide through the whole damn family, Greg stayed loyal to his father and the siblings still with him. And for quite some time Greg held onto his family pride. He continued to be obedient and diligently worked away in university, earning himself a constant place on the Dean's List and eventually PhDs in Theology and History.
He was a good student, and a good son -- even though his family was slowly but surely falling apart all around him.
And after years of slowly distancing himself, Daddy dearest finally dropped off the grid altogether. Out of love and lack of knowing anything else, Greg stayed and followed any orders he was given, just as he always had.
However somewhere along the way, Gregory made some new friends who slowly began to help him realize just how ruined his family really was. All the emotions Greg had unknowingly hidden away escaped from their confines, and finally he too decided enough was enough. Like so many brothers and sisters before him, he left as well.
But although he left, the kid hadn't given up hope and it was this lingering faith that led to a number of problems for the next couple of years. While his brothers fought, Greg went on a search for the one person who could put an end to it all -- their father. He stayed resolute and determined about the quest for quite some time. He went through a couple jobs at different libraries, did some teaching of college classes (mostly things like theology, world religions, histories of various countries, some folklore) and a couple high school gigs, never really staying that long before moving on to the next town.
Finally, he was hit with the devastating realization that their father was alive, but that he had stopped caring a long, long time ago. It took him quite a few weeks of drinking to start feeling less depressed about the whole thing. But he still had his friends. And they were once again inspiring him to get his shit together.
He decided that enough was enough. The fighting would never stop until he put an end to it himself.
When Gregory returned to the family, he quickly gathered support among his siblings. But putting together this mess of a family wasn't going to be easy, and Greg would need some help. There were already whispers of Greg dabbling in some... less than honest methods already, but still he found he wasn't strong enough on his own.
And that's why he showed up in Diamond City. He'd heard good things about that place, heard maybe he'd find a brother in hiding if he was lucky. He wasn't there long before the Disaster struck, but alas it's where he was when it did.
Proof: A faculty ID card from the last college he worked at.
Who this man was, Castiel didn't know. All he knew was that the man had a couple degrees or some other documentation that made him a doctor (which he supposed was a respectable achievement for humans, if he recalled correctly) and that apparently, "Gregory" was actually Castiel. Or Castiel was actually Gregory, technically, but the Workers were going to be hard pressed to get the angel to really believe that. Of course, it was curious that he had been rendered human upon arrival -- but there could be more than one reason for that, so it was still a weak argument.
Cas had been mortal once before. It wasn't very pleasant then, and he didn't have high hopes for the second time round either. Even when he was cut off from Heaven, he had at least held onto his wings. He at least wasn't completely useless.
But here... here he wasn't just human, he was somebody else. Not Castiel, not even Jimmy, but some man named Gregory who apparently had a pretty big, difficult family to deal with as well.
And Castiel could only assume that this Gregory fellow was more in tune with the world of humans than Cas was, he thought as he wandered through the library that he supposedly worked in and found himself concerned about the lack of real paper books. Everything was digital. Castiel just barely knew how to operate his cell phone and he hadn't actually used a laptop before, though he knew basically how they worked. So, as he stood off in backwards corner by himself, his head was tilted curiously as he peered into the screen of his e-reader like it held all the secrets of the universe.
He wasn't an idiot and he learned the basics of human products fairly quickly, but the initial introduction to it was a little... confused.
