Professor Ferretstein
The world renowned inventor of items such as the Dimension-Shifting Autogyro, the Self-Propelled Sidereal Shunt Steam Coach and the Portable Tesseract Carryall is remarkably publicity shy. Little actual fact is known about this genius of our modern world. There are the myths and tall tales that surround him and accounts of his alleged adventures abound from plays and motion pictures to novels and endless ‘exclusive interviews’.
One of the few facts that is known is that this eccentric recluse has set up shop in the Dallas area. He has his workshop above the store The Gamers Realm, where he supposedly observes the clientele in search of someone worthy of assisting him with his researches.
He has three confirmed associates, but they can shed little light on the rumors that surround him like a fog.
The Chronicler
An amateur writer and aspiring novelist, he was out in the world gaining ideas for his “great work” when he met up with The Adventurer. He started documenting The Adventurer’s exploits and soon found himself traveling with him. Currently, he continues in that capacity, but has expanded his efforts to include recording some of The Professor’s works for posterity as well as working on an unauthorized biography of the eccentric reclusive genius.

The Heiress
Rumored to be European royalty, The Heiress has been a fixture around The Professor for years. She handles a great deal of The Professor’s public affairs, including running his latest operation – The Gamers Realm. However, her exact relationship with The Professor is unknown.
She has been involved in a number of incidents associated with The Professor and met The Adventurer during the affair surrounding the Dimension-Shifting Autogyro.
The Adventurer
He is a man of action who is rumored to have been covertly employed by a number of the world’s governments to solve particularly troublesome problems. He has led countless expeditions into uncharted territories ranging from the frozen wastelands surrounding the Arctic entrance to Pellucidar to the core of the biomechanical forest of Vulskryer in the South Seas.
As at home in his workshop as he is abroad in the world, The Adventurer often makes use of apparatus of his own design in his undertakings. His Variable Nutating Meson Collimator is his trademark weapon of choice.
It is believed that he encountered The Professor when he was hired to test his Dimension-Shifting Autogyro, leading to one of his more fantastic adventures. The success of that project formed a bond between the two that continues to this day.
Currently, The Adventurer is in semi-retirement assisting The Professor with his latest project and having his less sensitive exploits documented for posterity by The Chronicler.
