Sorry I took so long to post this, I was sparring with the internet.
Sir Walter Guisborough (pronounced Geese-Burrow)
a.k.a. Sir Reginald, Master of Phantasms
a.k.a. Sir Reginald the Magnificent
Sir Walter Guisborough is a baronet (an inherited title) who comes from a family of very rich noblemen that in recent generations had fallen into poverty. Walter grew up as an only child but his grandfather, who was the last of the Guisboroughs to live in luxury, lived with the family. When he was a child, Walter’s grandfather told Walter romantic tales of aristocracy. These tales filled him with the desire to join the ranks of noblemen and restore the family name to its place of former glory.
As a young man Walter left his home to begin his quest for glory and was soon befriended by a strange and wealthy gentleman. Through a surprising turn of events, Walter found out that the gentleman was actually a thief and member of a secret society of thieves (which he calls the Baltimore Club). The gentleman offered him an apprenticeship and to teach him the arts of stealth and infiltration. It was during this time that he discovered a knack for illusion.
Forty years later, Walter, better known as Sir Reginald Master of Phantasms, has become a world-renowned thief, capable of cracking nearly any safe in existence. It is as Sir Reginald Master of Phantasms when Walter fulfils his ambitions. However, he also maintains a normal identity as an amateur magician, capable of only the simplest of tricks, with the stage-name Sir Reginald the Magnificent.
Walter has a medium light build and is by no means intimidating in appearance. He has: intelligent blue eyes, a clean-shaven face, slightly curly silver hair, and a somewhat blocky face with a strong chin. He is 60 years old but his face doesn’t show it.
Walter Guisborough is light-hearted man that enjoys a good laugh but is very deliberate in everything he does. He is very intelligent and perceptive and is not easily manipulated. He will not kill even if it means getting caught nor does he inflict bodily harm; after all he is no common criminal.
I’m thinking the skills I’d major in would be athletics, conceal, stealth, legerdemain, and impersonate. I also think that I might get engineering, enterprise, and influence. As far as traits goes, probably wealth, connections, and infamy. I would give Walter a lot of equipment like smoke bombs, flash bangs, fireworks, complex safecracking devices, etc. His main weapons are misdirection and misinformation.
