(File 18)Sir Weston – The Frosty Explorer

SUBJECT DESIGNATION: Sir Weston – “The Frosty Explorer”

CLASS: Type II Elemental Manifestation (Cryokinetic / Isolation Variant)

CONTAINMENT STATUS: Secured within Portrait Frame #025, “The Frozen Frontier”

THREAT LEVEL: Moderate (Localized Temperature Hazard / Passive Aggression)

IDENTIFICATION

Full Name (During Life): Sir Weston Montvale

Apparent Age: 52 years

Gender: Male

Post-Mortem Appearance: A pale, frostbitten figure clad in antique Arctic expedition gear, complete with fur-trimmed parka and cracked goggles. Skin is tinted a bluish-gray hue; ice crystals form constantly around his breath. His gloved hands appear encased in hoarfrost, and when angered, he emits sub-zero vapor trails from his body that can momentarily freeze nearby air particles.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD

Sir Weston Montvale was a famed (and somewhat egotistical) Arctic explorer during the late 19th century. A man of ambition and arrogance, Weston prided himself on “conquering” the cold where no other man dared tread. His obsession with frozen environments and his repeated near-death experiences in the polar regions left him physically frail but mentally intoxicated by the allure of the endless ice.

Historical documents recovered from the mansion archives indicate that Weston funded several doomed expeditions in his later years. When not traveling, he would retreat to the estate’s cold-storage facilities to “train” for upcoming journeys. He believed extreme exposure to the cold would “temper his soul and steel his will.”

His final experiment proved fatal.

CAUSE OF DEATH (THEORETICAL ANALYSIS)

Primary Hypothesis: Accidental Freezing During Expedition Preparation

Sir Weston perished in the mansion’s industrial freezer while simulating polar survival conditions. Malfunction of the temperature regulator caused an abrupt drop to lethal levels. The heavy freezer door sealed from the outside, trapping him within.

When servants discovered him days later, his body was found completely encased in ice—an expression of frozen awe on his face, as if marveling at the beauty of his own demise.

Alternate Theories:

Deliberate Self-Immolation by Frost: Weston may have intentionally locked himself inside to “embrace eternity’s chill,” believing death by ice would grant him purity and peace.

Equipment Malfunction During Experiment: A failed refrigeration test could have been accelerated by the addition of unstable cryogenic compounds.

Paranormal Influence: The mansion’s latent energy may have amplified the freezing process, binding his consciousness to the element of cold itself.

Whatever the cause, Sir Weston’s death produced an unusually stable ectoplasmic reaction: his spiritual energy manifests as an environmental drop in temperature, ice formation, and localized snow flurries.

PARANORMAL CHARACTERISTICS

Behavioral Pattern: Solitary and territorial. Rarely moves far from his containment chamber, which he maintains at dangerously low temperatures. Exhibits signs of confusion, pride, and paranoia toward “warm” intruders.

Manifestation Site: Mansion Freezer Chamber, Sub-Level 1. Ice continuously reforms even when mechanically melted.

Activity Cycle: Heightened manifestation during cold or humid weather. Activity ceases when ambient room temperature rises above 10°C (50°F).

Notable Abilities:

Cryokinesis: Generates sub-zero temperatures capable of flash-freezing moisture in the air, forming icicles and frost barriers.

Environmental Manifestation: Spreads frost over nearby surfaces; prolonged exposure results in localized hypothermia in living organisms.

Glacial Armor: Can form ice plating around his spectral body to deflect thermal or kinetic attacks.

Frost Mirage: Creates optical illusions in cold fog, disorienting intruders.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

Sir Weston retains the ego and mannerisms of an aristocratic adventurer. He speaks of himself in grandiose terms—“the first to discover eternity beneath the frost.” His fixation on the cold transcends mere passion; it has become his identity and prison.

He displays mild delusional tendencies, believing that warmth is “a disease of the living” and that only the frozen can achieve perfection. While not overtly violent, his contempt for heat and movement often provokes hostility toward those carrying torches or generating warmth.

Prolonged exposure to his environment induces feelings of isolation, numbness, and mental quietude—symptoms consistent with early hypothermic hallucination.

NOTES FROM PROF. E. GADD

“Sir Weston is the sort of ghost who’d brag about freezing himself solid and then act surprised when he couldn’t thaw out. Still, his frost samples have proven useful for my research into thermal-resistant ectoplasm. If you must talk to him, dress warmly—and don’t mention the tropics.”
