Background
Florence Carnation was born in Silivia. After flunking out of the local police academy, a young Florence used the skills he'd learned to make a living as an investigative reporter. In this career, Florence often found himself using unorthodox and often illegal methods and clashing with authority on a regular basis. While his investigation skills were impressive, Florence's real talent was in questioning and manipulating individuals for information.
After losing his job with a Silivian paper and being blacklisted from the industry, Florence started a private detective agency. He became known for his subtle approach and his expertise became known to a candidate for governor, Theodore Rosington. Rosington utilized Florence's skills to find information on his political opponents, and after Rosington was elected, the two began a working relationship for the forseeable future. This culminated in Rosington hiring Florence to search for his son's associates.
