Appearance

Personality
Mr. Sinclaire is very pessimistic and judges people easily, as shown in Chapter 1 when he didn’t have an open mind when meeting your character.

However, as your character gets to know him, he comes out of his shell a little.

Your Character
He is one of Your Character's love interests. Their first encounter was in a country village of Grovershire when he passed by her and Briar. He doesn't seem very impressed initially, but Your Character soon starts to win him over. At his dinner party in Chapter 6, he defends her from being ridiculed by Felicity Holloway. In Chapter 11, he saves your character from being assaulted by Duke Richards. In a premium scene of the same chapter, he is able to open up to her about how he discovered that his wife had an affair with the Duke. In Chapter 13, Your Character can choose to sit next to him during Vincent's funeral and be comforted by him. If Your Character has told her father about her interest in Mr. Sinclaire, she will mention it to him and he will be glad to hear about Vincent's support. In Chapter 16, when Your Character needs to get married in order to fulfil her father's will, she is able to choose him and declare her love to him. If she does so, he will say that he loves her, too, and asks her to be his wife. Depending on your choices, they are able to kiss for the first time and, in a premium scene, spend some time alone in the gardens. Before they can tell anyone about their engagement, her grandmother declares Your Character's betrothal to Duke Richards.
