NATIONALITY: British

BACKGROUND: Born a younger son of a baronet from a well-known Dartmoor family. As a promising young scholar joined a field expedition in search of lost cities of the Bactrian Greeks in Central Asia.  Recruited by the Colonial Office and has undertaken several missions beyond the Northwest Frontier of India, the details of which he does not publicly discuss.
Presently “on leave” in London after following up a plot to assassinate the Prince of Mirabad, now seconded to the Q.E. Q. O.

Pistol: 60 Grimsby's favorite weapon

Foil: 40.  He would prefer a sabre or even a tulwar,
but they are not acceptable on the streets of London.

Brawl: 60. He has been in a lot of hard places
and can handle himself in a fight, though he is no John L. Sullivan.
He has well-trained muscles and a grip of steel.
He is a student of the Anglo-Japanese art of bartitsu (baritsu)
popularized by Sherlock Holmes.

Analytical Engine: 35. Since his career was spent largely
on the Northwest Frontier and elsewhere in the darker places of the Raj,
he has little experience with this sophisticated instrument.

Athleticism: 55.  Moves quietly and efficiently
but not especially swiftly.

Awareness: 75. Always sharply alert for trouble, and
ready to meet it. Living -- and keeping himself alive --in dangerous
places has left him with an acute sense of approaching danger, and
in general of his surroundings.

Driving: 45. He would prefer a camel, a horse or even
a donkey, but makes do with a motorcycle on London streets.

First Aid:50. His knowledge is adequate,
 but rather behind the most modern medical techniques.

Gadgeteering: 40. He has seldom required technical
skills in the primitive regions where he formerly served.

Insight: 80. A shrewd knowledge of human nature --no
matter how diverse--has long been one of his chief investigative
tools, and still serves him well amid London's teeming millions.

Knowledge:70. Brilliant scholar in his youth -- first class
honors at Oxford. He has since applied his brains to the study of the variety of
human iniquities.

Luck: 65. While he believes that it is better to be clever
than lucky, he knows well enough that he would not have survived
this long without some luck.

Oratory:45. Tends to be taciturn rather than eloquent, with
occasional glints of sardonic humor. Polite but rarely affable to
colleagues and gentry. May be abrupt dealing with the criminal classes.

Skulduggery:50. Arts he considers unworthy of a
gentleman, but still ones he has felt the necessity of studying.

Stealth:55.
