Berlin

General info
Berlin is Parzifal's cook, he also cleans the house and does any other tasks Cairo is unable to do (usually due to the three children in his charge).

Background
Berlin was trained in general domestic skills but excelled in cooking. He worked in various restaurants until he was hired by a Four of minor wealth to be his personal servant and cook. He enjoyed his job for years until his employer began to suffer the Rot and changed. He was denied days off for various reasons and docked pay for minor infractions, and then was not permitted to leave the house for any reason, ensuring he could not report these violations to his work rights. Then his employer grew violent. The Berlin class are the most softspoken and passive of the Two classes, and Berlin 7690 did not know what to do or what happened to his previously kind employer.

After months of this, Berlin was at his wit's end and dared speak back against his employer. By then the Rot was well ensconced within the Four who snapped and beat Berlin nearly to death before leaving him. It wasn't until a neighbor's child had noticed that the Two on the floor hadn't moved for a while that help was called. The Four was arrested and Berlin hospitalized.

Half paralized on his left side, Berlin had to struggle through the legal processes against his assailant and when it was all over found himself homeless and jobless. He was left to beg in the streets. One day he was approached by Senator Parzifal, who hired him as a personal cook but first put him through physical therapy and bought him new cybernitic components, allowing Berlin to regain most of his motion.

Despite this good fortune, Berlin is traumatized by what happened to him and extremely jumpy. He's vowed he will never be abused like he was again.
