I’ve been researching for this character biography. It’s not going so well. As far as I know, he’s scottish, often drunk, follows Ross around like a loyal dog, and is aging. He thinks the convict play is funny as well, and wants Liz hanged. He may or may not be the contracter on the boat. I can’t tell if names were changed to protect the not-very-innocent. If he isn’t, he’s really hard to find anything about, which is interestingly enough frustrating as all get out. He’s a very minor character, so obviously history kind of didn’t care about him. Heck, I like him and all, but this is just too much. I don’t even know how old he was. I only knew he was “aging” from one line in one piece I got. I always figured him to be in his late 30′s, early 40′s before hand. I guess 40′s might be aging for the time period, but he was younger in my head. Anyway, I’m pretty ready to say to heck with it and just start running with what I think in my head. It’s worked before. May not be legit, or a good idea, but I’m sure I can connect it somehow. I’m not dropping what I have entirely. I just have to….work with it. Work it in. Do something with it. If the research forces that be refuse to give me a hand, I’ll just have to make it work on my own.
It was honestly much easier for me to find Waldo in those books then to find anything about Campbell.
I blame Waldo entirely. He thinks he’s so clever…..
