When he has nothing to do, he habitually wanders the office building and factory, checking up on everything. (This means your character can bother him.)
There are two other Les Loups branches, one in Ohio and one in Nevada. It was during an inspection of his new Kentucky plant that an explosion caused the building to collapse with him and many workers inside. Sabotage was confirmed, but no one has been caught. Mr. Lowell was feared deceased, but was found unconscious in the wreckage a few hours later.
Once stabilized, he remained in a coma for 3 days, suffering miraculously only from smoke inhalation, a twisted ankle and minor concussion. He left the hospital well before he was advised to, insisting that he felt fine. (This is this world’s equivalent of the space bridge explosion.)
