Profile Information
- Introduction
- Well, Captain Morgo was here, but his ship was purchased by Prof. Phineas Boggs, I served in the American Empire Aeronautical Corps for several years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant, before I found my true calling as an itinerant scholar, historian, part-time archeologist and scientist.
I travel the world in my personal airship Aurora, allowing the crew to dabble in their smuggling as long as it doesn't interfere with my travels. And indeed, I am not above "appropriating" archeological and historical items that might come across my travels, for museums or "curators" that can come up with the right price.
