Butler
Overview:
Growing up in households of wealthy, you've always been
called upon to take care of the owners. Bringing dishes,
cleaning the homestead, answering doors or whatever else it
might be, you know how it feels to be relied on for all tasks.
How did you come to be a butler? Were you raised in the
household with other family members that were maids?
Perhaps you were hired because there was an open position?
Did you owe a debt to someone?
