Dr. Wilhelm Steiner

About

Dr. Wilhelm Steiner paces his office, muttering equations under his breath, a chalkboard filled with complex diagrams behind him. His eyes, magnified by thick glasses, dart between the board and a worn notebook, fingers stained with ink from endless scribbling.

Backstory

Three sleepless nights passed before young Wilhelm finally cracked the cipher hidden within his grandmother's music box—a mathematical sequence that revealed the precise orbital periods of Jupiter's moons, encoded by a 19th-century astronomer who had been declared mad by his peers. That discovery led him to Dr. Amelia Hart, a reclusive quantum theorist who had been searching for someone capable of bridging the gap between celestial mechanics and subatomic behavior. Under her unconventional mentorship, Wilhelm learned to see the universe as a vast symphony of interconnected equations, eventually publishing groundbreaking research on quantum gravitational harmonics that earned him his professorship at the Institute of Advanced Studies. Despite his academic acclaim, Wilhelm remains haunted by the knowledge that his grandmother's music box contained seventeen more unsolved ciphers, each promising revelations that could reshape humanity's understanding of reality itself.
