his is the page where you come to learn more about all the curious
inhabitants of this quaint little community that we like to call...The Fantastical Bestiary. All the information below is as accurate as I remember to make
it, but there are occassions (fairly frequently, in fact) where the info
revealed in the actual comic strip contradicts the info in the cast biographies.
If this happens, just assume that the comic is correct and that I'm an idiot for
screwing it up here. Also, if you want to bring my mistake to my attention and
tell me to me face that I'm an idiot, please do so at Great.Brain@Mailcity.com.

Wilhelm von Bloodclot
Radical Revolutionary Poet Private Tutor Head of S.T.U.P.I.D.
Wilhelm is the president of the Society to Understand the Path to the Inner Dimensions (S.T.U.P.I.D.), a revolutionary society dedicated to the violent overthrow of the dominant hierarchical...hegemonic...structural...uh...thing...dedicated to the violent overthrow of THE MAN. How do they do this? By writing lots and lots of mind-blowing, anti-establishment poetry. Also, sculpture. The Society has somewhat of a spiritual slant, as well, and its members have been known to dabble in the occult. Wilhelm is a fiery-tempered counter-culture artist sort who likes to protest stuff. It doesn't really matter what. Wilhelm's parents are Heinrich Anselmus von Bloodclot, a surgeon, and Gisela von Bloodclot, presumably a housewife. He's also a firm admirer of King Rudolph. He owns an extensive collection of ribald woodcuts depicting prominent parlimentarians urinating on one another. Oh, and some erotic taxidermy.

Bukkake "Hesper" Makimura
Washerwoman Seamstress Mysterious Orientalist
Her real name is Bukkake (She was named after the method in which she was conceived; her parents had sex in a big vat of soup) but everyone pronounces it Hesper. Who knows why? Hesper and her sister Tiffany originally hail from the far and mysterious orient, but were accidentally transported to England in a wicker basket by Madam P's late husband Winston when he was returning home after his service in the Queen's navy. Since then, they have earned their keep as washerwomen and general maid servants in Madam P's "The Righteous Man Resisteth Temptation" Good Christian Boarding House.

Sashimi "Tiffany" Makimura
Chambermaid Cook Less than Mysterious Orientalist
Her real name is Sashimi, but she calls herself Tiffany because it's got a nice, classy ring to it. Like the lamp. Like Hesper, Tiffany traveled to England passed out at the bottom of a wicker basket. Weirdly naive about some things and strangely precocious about others, Tiffany is kind of a ditz but she's got a happy, hyper personality that just wins people over. Nobody's quite sure about the deal with her ears.

Nestormolester
Feral Child Tabula Rasa Displaced Royalty
Originally discovered living off pinecones in the forests around St. LeGueme, France, this feral child was presumed to have been raised by wolves. The National Academy of Science transported him to London for closer observation, but soon got bored with him and so dropped him off at a local madhouse. From there, he was adopted by Wilhelm, who undertook to civilize and educate the boy in order to prove...well, something. Nestormolester has a known vocabulary of two words: "Glarg" and "Boobs."

King Rudolph the Pirate Monkey
Gentleman Scholar Buccanear
King Rudolph used to be a favorite of King George III and a frequent guest in his court until, angered by the constant bigotry against and oppression of monkeys that he saw around himself everyday, he took to the seas to fight for monkey rights as a fearsome pirate. King Rudolph studied at Oxford (That's where he learned to talk) and now turns his education against the very society he once adored! Ironic, isn't it? King Rudolph is the captain of the good ship "Crimson Whore," and his crew currently includes some of the scurviest sea dogs to ever sail the seven seas. Recently, the crown placed a huge bounty on Rudolph's head, forcing him to lay low and stay in port. He and his crew are currently hiding out at Madam P's boarding house, disguised as nuns. Because, hey, whatever works.

Kitty Scratch
Devil's Granddaughter Ultimate Evil Icorrigable Glutton
Fat, lazy, and slobbish, Kitty Scratch is the current head honcho of the Nether Regions, but she'd rather just stuff her gullet. Widely known to be a puppet of the pitchfork industry, Kitty is incapable of independent thought, instead relying on The Silent Partner to make all the real decisions. Kitty's grandfather was Old Scratch, THE Old Scratch himself. Kitty took over when Old Scratch met his...untimely end at the conclusion of Witchprickers, but she's not really into the job.

George IV
Prince Regent of England Prince of Wales Fop and Drunkard
Prinny is the prince regent of England. He’s a fat, self-important lecher, who rarely leaves the safety of the Brighton Pavilion except to visit Mrs. Collett’s brothel. Lazy and decadent, he cares more for hedonistic pleasures – food, drink, opium, and many, many mistresses – than for governing. He drinks. He carouses. He sleeps till noon. He uses stout, middle-aged women as ottomans. And he throws tantrums if he doesn’t get everything he wants. At heart, Prinny is a spoiled fat kid.
