Those of The Walrus

Age: 23 Likes: Cooking, Law and order reruns, Firefly/Serenity, the musings on the bathroom stall in Cafe Tesla (which are wholly insightful, if lacking sense) the collected filmography of Kevin Smith. Dislikes: Garden gnomes, anything Emo, mornings that begin before 9 AM, floating pygmy cows (a rather unique dislike, but existent and perhaps vital to future plot). Something CreepKnight Might Say: "Your insolence is about as amusing as my ability to speak German with a Liechtensteinian accent. That being said... take your red dresss and vamoose. I'm colorblind, so your feminine wiles do nothing for me."

What We Know About CreepKnight: Villemous Quetzalcoatl CreepKnight is the son of a Liechtensteinian aristocrat and a former beat poet now obsessed with the dual nature of man who also may or may not be the heir of a peanut fortune. His interesting upbringing helped to shape his unique vision of the world, which could best be described as "vigilant" with a dash of paprika". A failed assassination attempt on his father's life left CreepKnight with two unique problems: being colorblind (which he will harp on, endlessly, and without cause) and the overwhelming desire to escape a life of aristocracy. So he did what any rebellious child would do; he became a writer.

Age: 24 Likes: Couches, drawing tables, night, Stephen King books, badgers (for they are awesome in striped mammal form), chicken parmigiana, caffeine Dislikes: People, Goth poetry, smoking, sunshine, people who read goth poetry while smoking in the sunshine Something Grymm Might Say: "God? I know God. He's a bitter, self-righteous old fart who leaves the seat down when he pees and cheats at rummy. And he owes me money. So do you. Oooooh... shiny!"

What We Know About Grymm: Grymm was born sometime before the fall of the Berlin wall but does not possess the memory capacity to actually remember the event. He showed an aptitude for art and political science at a young age but opted for the former and shoved any trace of the latter into the treacle tart region of his vaast brainscape. Ever since, he has lived a rather happy-go-lucky existence marred only by occasional bouts of extreme anger and discontent. In the opinion of those closet to him, it is very important to keep Grymm happy,lest you face the wrath of his T-square.

Age: 22, some days older Likes: Children, dancing, music, clubs (the music and dancing kind not the kind you beat people with, and hats. Especially hats Dislikes: Sammiches, cats, (allergies), mold (allergies), things lacking visual distinction Something Bowler Might Say: "You! You're not dancing!! Why aren't you dancing?! It's time to dance!!" (A few seconds pass) "Yeah, on second thought..."

What We Know About Bowler: Bowler is a young woman on the cusp of tomorrow. She works two jobs: by day she teaches preschool and children's dance; by night she is Bowler! Queen of the Cafe Tesla and MC extraordinaire! She shares some past connection with Grymm and CreepKnight that neither she, nor they, can remember quite clearly, but shares a fondness for both of them despite their innate ability to turn even the most banal of situations into something both wonderful and catastrophic. Also, she is never without her trusty bowler haat and haas been known to become uncharacteristically... "touchy" whenever it goes missing.

Those of Infernum Publishing

Age: Unknown Likes: Underwater volcanoes, minions, caausing pain and anguish, sharp things, pointy things, things with teeth, things that are disgruntled, things that were once disgruntled but have since been regruntled. Dislikes: Damn near everything. Something Mr. Cyradwee Might Say: (Mr. Cyradwee could not be reached for comment.)

What We Know About Mr. Cyradwee: Very little is known about the mysterious benefactor and publisher for whom Grymm and CreepKnight work. What is known is that he revels the suffering of others and chooses to live in a volcano. Underwater. Somewhere off the Pacific coast. Why exactly someone like this would be in the publishing business is unclear. Why he would want to publish a comic like "Ferretman" is even more unclear. All that is clear is the fact that he's more than willing to pay Grymm and CreepKnight large sums of money to produce Ferretman comics, and somewhere, somehow, someone is suffering because of this.
