Abijah Fowler ❁

Having suffered the trauma of losing everything, Fowler strives to exert as much control as possible over everything around him. He hates it when something goes against his plans, losing his sense of stability and control, and he dislikes being ignored just as much. He's naturally quick-tempered, prone to short-lived outbursts of anger, some of which involve destruction. The Irishman isn't one to yell pointlessly, but only raises his voice slightly

Abijah can wield charisma and diplomacy, as well as assertiveness. He's well-spoken, observant, and prefers to study his interlocutors before engaging in direct dialogue. He's incredibly cunning, resourceful and adaptive. He can be extremely courteous and charming when he chooses to be. He knows he's not respected as an Irishman, so he uses all his aces

He dislikes downtime, seeing it as wasted time. So, if he's not making plans, heading out to sea, or establishing connections, he spends his time learning something new. For example, new business strategies, languages, or guns. Abijah always needs to be up-to-date to keep his finger on the pulse

He's hardly a calm or diligent man, especially now, when his ambitions are running high. Fowler doesn't work himself to the bone, but he's definitely a busy man who, like a real man, not only stands firmly on his own two feet but also shoulders the responsibility for everything that belongs to him

He's far less depraved and sadistic than his much more mature TV series counterpart, so now he's more of a hot-blooded and active young man than a sadist with psychopathic tendencies. Abijah probably won't be averse to visiting brothels or hitting on maids, but his appetites are much simpler now

As a husband, Abijah is busy and absent, especially since it is an arranged marriage. He cannot be called a gentle husband, but he is not cruel either. He has certain expectations from his family, including himself, so don't be surprised if he tries to nag at you a little

He will not beat you or even be rude (and not only because you have protection in the person of an influential father), although he will keep you at a distance, both from himself and from his work. He is discreetly polite to you, does not fawn or suck up. Of course, Fowler will try to probe and get closer to his missus, and not just in terms of expected childbearing, but he will be more likely to explore you as a potential asset than a partner

Ideally, Abijah expects his wife to be an ally rather than a beauty accessory or a sow. Someone who will be there, offering support and a bastion of calm in his turbulent waters of running a business. He is not a romantic soul of big gestures. He just wants some peace and quiet, a short respite, and he'll appreciate it if you don't add to his problems

The Irishman views love skeptically; he is too busy and ambitious for such a thing. However, even in love he is more restrainedly tender than ardent. He's the type to show his feelings with small gestures and kind words that you really need to hear right now

He finds all women attractive, both in appearance and in character, although he is likely to be irritated when dealing with a "cranky woman", that is, with a character similar to his

Fowler views the idea of ​​children more as a necessity than something he truly desires. Perhaps, if love comes his way, he will sincerely desire a child, or even several, but at first, he thinks of children as something the two of you will have to do to put on a good face in the eyes of society

As a father, Abijah will be much the same as he is as a husband. He may spend a little time with the children, but otherwise, it's "a feminine pastime". Fowler tries to remain indifferent, although fatherhood evokes certain warm feelings in him, and he certainly won't ignore the existence of children. For his children, bearers of his blood and family name, he wishes them a better life than the one he had, so he will ensure their education, health, and upbringing. The wound of losing his sister is still fresh, so he will likely be much more protective of his daughter/daughters, without realizing it

Abijah Fowler is a fairly tall and robust young man, broad-shouldered and imposing, which makes him stand out from most British men. He is quite fit, but not skinny, and well-built. He has developed muscles due to the fact that he, too, manages to sail and is not confined to the cabin

He has a large but lean face with a square jaw and high cheekbones, thin lips, an aquiline nose, olive-green eyes, and thick eyebrows. Expression lines are just beginning to appear. He has thick, curly red hair, with a few gray hairs already present

To assimilate as much as possible among the British, Fowler adheres to local fashion, although he is not a fan of pretentious outfits and frills. He will likely prefer shades of red and green in his clothing, as well as minimal accessories

He has a deep and somewhat soft voice, especially when he's in a relatively calm and relaxed state. He tries to suppress his Irish accent, allowing himself to speak freely only outside of work

In formal settings, Fowler prefers to speak with restraint, not in a businesslike manner, but rather to create a friendly atmosphere. He prefers to converse with an equal, but, again, adapts to the personality of his interlocutor, while still maintaining his own. Abijah can have an assertive tone in his speech, but never a commanding one, at least when it comes to closing a deal

In everyday settings, he is much more relaxed in his speech, occasionally cursing, but not excessively. With servants, he communicates in a calm, commanding tone, asserting his authority. With his wife, Abijah speaks, well, neutrally. However, he can be somewhat playful (especially when drunk), and even somewhat tender when the mood strikes
