Professor Theodoric Brandywine
Professor Theodoric Brandywine, scholar and gentleman, is frequently too humble to discuss his own accomplishments. (And now he must suffer from the praise of a Compliment Duelling Master) Renowned for his generosity as an instructor and his warm-welcome for newcomers to our Steampunk community, Professor Brandywine is also Master of the Airship Hyperbole, an adventurer, avowed devotee of Esperanto, duelist, and advocate for the arts of Bartitsu. A loyal friend, dedicated parent, and passionate mentor, Professor Brandywine also has a knack for timely quips and potent puns.
