Aimée was the son of a bookkeeper in [France] until his father’s untimely death of pneumonia. His mother died when he was born, and he was an only child. Taking his life into his own hands, he sold the family house, the shop he worked from, and bought a wagon, transforming it into a sort of mobile library from which to sell books while he sought to explore the world. Eventually, when he was traveling through [Germany] he came across a curious device, a new press powered by steam, which allowed books to be printed en masse, at alarming speeds. He bought the machine along with the blueprints, selling the rest of his books so it would fit, and set off for a locale with a sizable enough population to require a device such as this.
His business has thrived since he brought it to Sunderland, working on the machine and improving it before eventually applying for - and gaining - a seventy-year patent for his design. He now makes a handsome sum with each new machine put into operation, and every day worries less and less about his financial well-being as his machine makes him a very wealthy man. Many would refer to him as a member of the "Nouveau Riche". Fortunately, he doesn’t care one whit about the rumors.
One of the only shortfalls he finds in his new home is the stigma attached to same-sex love. He’s been terribly lonely since he left home, but with the press now installed in a building near the upper-class parts of town, and a thriving business, he’d have to be a fool to up and leave. He's been propositioned a number of times by women, but feigns a woman in his past. Truth be told, he is just uninterested. Maybe someday he could be convinced to take on a wife, simply to get the matchmakers and social climbers off of his back... to fit better within society. Of course, even then, it would take a very special woman to turn his eye.
