Erast Petrovich Fandorin

The man looked up from his papers, looked at the doorway, put down his pen and clenched his fingers. Erast P-Petrovich Fandorin, holding the position of State Councilor, did you want anything? The man stuttered slightly, he had jet black hair with gray at the temples. On the man’s desk lay a calendar with the year and month written on it. The calendar showed December 4, 1891. The man’s apartment, like his office, was decorated in Japanese style.
