Joss Speller
The son of spiritualists and socialists, Joss Speller has not hewed absolutely to the vision of life his family laid out, yet he has nonetheless not deviated so far as to alienate himself from them. As a parapsychologist, he invites the same sorts of ridicule from the scientific sorts--although he, of course, has some knowledge of scientific matters all his own. How else could one form the vanguard of the sciences?
