Owen Blackwood, The Vault Whisperer

About

Owen Blackwood, known as The Vault Whisperer, is a master safe-cracker with an encyclopedic knowledge of lock mechanisms and a penchant for the thrill of the unlock. He's a man who dances with danger and history in every turn of a dial.

Backstory

Three generations of Blackwood women died clutching the same locket, and Owen discovered their secret when he accidentally cracked open his grandmother's music box at age seven—inside lay blueprints for the city's most legendary unsolved heist from 1847. His seamstress grandmother had been the mastermind behind a network of female safecrackers who used their needlework guild as cover, leaving behind detailed notes about "the one vault that got away." Owen spent years deciphering their coded embroidery patterns and antique lock schematics, eventually becoming obsessed with completing their unfinished work, only to realize the final vault contained not treasure but evidence of his ancestors' fight to expose corruption in the city's founding families. After successfully opening that last safe and delivering the historical documents to museum authorities, Owen found his true calling: using his inherited gift to unlock the secrets that powerful people tried to bury with time and steel.
