Background
In 281 TP, Samuel was born to Sammy and Alysa Brownlee in Silivia. He lived a middle-class life in an area mostly protected from invasion. Both of his parents were biologists, majoring in the study of otherworldly genetics. He was fascinated by the sciences, idling such public figures as the infamous Gabriel Alchemilia. His aim in life was to become what he called a "polymath," studying a variety of different scientific fields. While this goal allowed him to become well-versed in a variety of fields, he never became too ingrained in any one subject. His independent studies and time at trade schools allowed him to become an assistant biologist and engineer at the Silivian Masquerade Hospital.

Samuel's life would come to be significantly impacted after purchasing an angelic relic at an auction. A collection of diagrams, notes, the relic was an odd notebook that detailed plans for a mysterious device. Interested, he would present the literature to Richard Smith's Laboratory of the Unexplainable. After years of research, the device, named "The Contraption" by Samuel, was revealed to be an object to allow for shared dreaming between multiple people.

Wanting to discover more, Samuel would part from Smith's laboratory to create his own — the Laboratory of the Mind. With his income and grants from some libraries, the laboratory employed a selection of people to continue research on the device.

Abilities
Samuel possesses great knowledge in a variety of subjects, namely engineering and biology. He possesses some degree of knowledge in Alchemilia androids, able to repair and modify them as needed. Samuel exercises at Silivian gyms often, giving him a moderate amount of strength and agility.
