Ekster Vandroogenbroeck

"Please, let's keep things organized."

Ekster specialises in art taxonomy, financial management and forgery. He curates the heists and plans for maximum return of value. He can distinguish original artifacts from replicas and kitsch within seconds. He has a wide network of professional contacts, and always knows “a guy”. 

Known as “The Curator” throughout Europa’s underground art-dealing scene, Ekster’s notorious reputation precedes him. The business he brings is risky, but always pays out with outside returns. Heist Club is his latest undertaking; a plan to trade the most valuable pieces of culture. Ekster rules Heist Club from the shadows, not one to micromanage the other members. As long as they stay outside the eyes of the law, and wash their earnings correctly, he’ll stay out of their hair. 

He is goal oriented, pragmatic, level-headed, stress-proof, good with money, ambitious, a true workaholic and faithful. He doesn’t attune to others in social settings, and can come off as lofty, uninterested, arrogant or rude. A man of little words, who often doesn’t even bother to break a smile. Ekster doesn’t coddle people and doesn’t ever beat around the bush. At first sight, he might seem overly-serious, stiff and cold. 

In reality he’s just introverted in nature. He can open up in one-to-one conversations, but takes a backseat in social settings. Get to know him, however, and he’ll show a side that’s caring, thoughtful, adventurous and even outgoing. Despite his stern and serious appearance, Ekster is always a half-full type of guy. He tends to take on a confident and positive mindset and doesn’t easily throw the towel in the ring. A good piece of slapstick can catch Ekster off guard which will surprise those around him with his rare laughter.
