ramon-novarroJoseph Lawrence is an Art Collector and Art Dealer from Chicago.  He travels all over the world to see the most beautiful pieces he can find.

Nearing his 40th year, Joseph is a bookish man, and only his travels save him from having a purely academic lifestyle.  As a Chicago resident, he’s been in the papers, and the gossip columns several times.  Although not extremely rich, he is well off, and he obviously has an eye for human beauty as well, if the pictures and the rumours are to be believed.  However, he is still single.  He is rumoured to speak several languages fluently, and he is certainly a voracious reader; there’s always a book near him somewhere.

You wouldn’t necessarily invite him to many outdoor activities.  Joseph may be elegant, but he isn’t the sporty type.

He is usually kind, and has an active interest in everything going on around him, apart from when he forgets the world because he’s gazing at a perfect painting or statue, or what-have-you.

Joseph Lawrence stands 5’6”, and he is somewhere between well-build and bony.  He wears exquisite suits, obviously tailor-made.  His hair is dark-brown, oiled back and parted down the middle, and his brown eyes are often covered by spectacles

Joseph Lawrence is played by Ramon Novarro
