Utterson, the righteous observer in 'Jekyll and Hyde,' is quite an intriguing fellow.

We've got a concept portrait of him, looking all dapper with his splendid monocle and mustache, adding to his air of seriousness.

But there's more to Utterson than meets the eye.

He once said,

"I am drawn to the duality of Cain.

I let my brother walk his own path of evil." 

Now, hold on, let's explain.

※In this context, Cain refers to the biblical figure, the first murderer in human history, who killed his younger brother Abel. 

Utterson's statement reflects his philosophy of respecting people's choices, regardless of the path they choose to tread.

With such a generous spirit, Utterson also became a positive influence on his acquaintances who were going through tough times. 

No matter what others said, he would take regular walks with his famous libertine distant cousin, Enfield.

The funny thing is, in the game, you might not realize it, but Enfield is actually a lighter-hearted person than one might expect, as described in the original novel. Haha, surprises abound!

Now, while Utterson was generous and understanding, he held one value above all—honor. 

He embodied the ideals of a Victorian gentleman, placing great importance on honor, etiquette, and maintaining a pristine reputation. 

All of Utterson's choices, including his final ones, were heavily influenced by these values.

Have you ever wondered if the other characters in the game acted in accordance with the values of the Victorian era? 

It could be quite an enlightening experience to compare their actions with the backdrop of 19th-century England and the 1880s.

Here's a little secret about Utterson—he preferred drinking gin over wine to keep his desires in check. 

You see, back then, wine was considered a high-class drink, while gin was viewed as more affordable and commonplace. 

Oh, and did you know that gin typically has a higher alcohol content, around 40 degrees, compared to wine's average of 13 degrees? 

Turns out, Utterson was quite the seasoned drinker!

The more we delve into Utterson's character, the more we feel drawn to him, even though he can be quite enigmatic.

Haha, that's part of his charm, don't you think?

Moving on to another noteworthy individual, let's celebrate Ludmilla's birthday from 'Pechka'—a cool and stylish teacher if you will. 🎂

Ludmilla is Asya's intelligence officer, a prominent figure in the Revolutionary Party, and an absolute powerhouse of strength and charisma! 

While Ludmilla and Utterson may both enjoy a good drink, their preferences couldn't be more different. 

Utterson fancies his wine, while Ludmilla has a taste for vodka.

Utterson

Happy birthday, Ludmilla Nikolaevna. Today calls for a bottle of the finest wine.

Ludmilla

Thank you, but I'll pass.

I never trust drinks that others offer, just to be on the safe side.

 Let's raise a toast to celebrate this special day.

To revolution and progress, cheers!

Asya

Teacher, it's me! I've brought a delicious honey cake just for you...

Ludmilla

Ah, our brave Asha! Let's share this cake and savor every bite together.
