Augustus Spotswood
A thin, weak looking tinhorn. His hair is black, with a general effort made to appropriately part and comb it down. A bit pale and sallow-cheeked, his face and lips even have a sickly bluish tint. His eyes are dark and he tends to stare, though his left eye has developed a habit of twitching alot. It's a little disconcerting. An attempt to remain clean shaven is also made, usually successful. Dressed in a worn, but serviceable black Birmingham pinstripe sack coat and pants, with a yellow and red silk paisley waistcoat. White shirt and starched collar, with a black tie. His boots are sturdy, but quite scuffed and scarred. A somewhat stained handkerchief is always ready, for his all-too-often coughing fits. When out of doors, a black derby is settled atop his head.
Generally carried in his case or bag, Augustus will occasionally be seen with -
-A modified trumpet. The bell is slightly wider than normal, with a smaller secondary bell within. The body of the trumpet seems to contain far more coils and twists of tubing than necessary, with extra valves added in a complex arrangement. Within the brass tubing is a small copper cylinder, from which a clockwork key extends to allow winding.
-A heavily modified scattergun. A parabolic dish has been welded to the shortened barrels, with a trio of differently sized tuning forks at the center of the dish. A thick brass disk sits atop what would have been the breeches, a large clockwork key in the middle.
-An odd box device. The main body of the device is encased in a rectangular black metal box with a large looping shoulder strap. From each side of the device sprouts the bell of a horn. Along its top and sides are an array of valves and dials. A twist of wires extends up from a socket to an odd round apparatus of brass, coiled steel wire, and a dull gray magnet. This apparatus is held near the ear by a haphazard arrangement of leather straps.
