Nazeer

Potential history:

Leonardo Nazeer (or Nazir) was born January 1, 1921 in Cairo, where his father, a lawyer, doubled as his educator. Nazir proved open to learning and absorbed a lot of knowledge very quickly. He moved with his parents to small-town Augustine/Winters at the age of thirteen. A severe illness on the voyage permanently damaged his brain and left him susceptible to a variety of hallucinations which have gotten worse with time. One story has him attempt to ingrain himself by helping the poor during the Great Depression, only to be rebuffed.

Wherever he moved to, he completed law school at the age of nineteen, the youngest in his class, and went into politics. After a short stint as a city councilmember, he ran for mayor and was elected in 1952.

In 1956, however, he was committed to an institution as his hallucinations became too much for him to tolerate.

During October of 2011, Leonardo Nazeer was murdered though none know all of the details of the crime except for the police, leading to some skepticism from the rest of the residents of Augustine and Winters.
