Lady Katherine Beaumont

Lady Beaumont is properly referred to as The Most Honorable The Marchioness de Belle Fontaine.

Katherine is a aristocrat, socialite, and curator at Bettencourt Mountbatten, an auction house more exclusive and secretive than the more famous Sootheby's. Only those who can afford and protect the items auctioned at Bettencourt Mountbatten know of its existence. 

Katherine is well-educated, and holds advanced degrees in History, Art History, Archaeology, Sociology, and Theology. She is well connected in the world of spiritualism, mysticism, and the esoteric arts where she is perceived as an flighty aristocrat playing at the paranormal, a mask she allows those around her to perpetuate to avoid any actual suspicion. In truth, she is over three hundred years old, although how this is possible is a secret she has revealed to none.

She is in the unique position of having the education, experience, and contacts to be one of the preeminent paranormal investigators of her time.

"I realize that I appear no more than a starry-eyed debutant to you, Mister Smythe, but I assure you, I have lived lifetimes before you were even born. We both know the truth about what threatens our world, perhaps even all of reality. Shall we continue to compare credentials, or shall we accept each other as experienced in the realms of the supernatural and endeavor to save the world?"
