Description So, wot is it your lookin' for, my son? New pair ov shoes? Lightbulbs? Itchin' powder? I can getcha just 'baht anyfin. If you've got the dosh that is.

Wheeler, as he's known by his customers, is a black market dealer who specialises in Human items. A while ago, during the 1800's, he used to trade human slaves to the highest bidder but that died out in The Flying Market at the beginning of the 19th century.
Mostly.
He had to adapt with the times, so rather than selling humans, he simply sells their belongings instead, often using Snitchflints, small four armed creatures to go into the human layer and filch them.
There are many rich clients in the Indergrunde who find human creations amusing, so certain items go for a lot of moolah. For example, children's socks, due to their size, intricacy and deliciousness when put into a stew, are quite valuable stock.
But Wheeler can get it for you.
Wheeler doesn't talk much about himself, he's more interested in the sale than about chit chat but people have gathered up bits of info over the years. Stories and such.
Apparently, he was in all five Indergrunde wars, sometimes a soldier, always a theif and it was in the third, apparently, that he lost his face (he was pilfering bodies during crossfire and a large cannonball went astray).
At one point in his life, say the grapevine, he had an illustrious career in Indergrunde politics, until it was discovered he had been embezzleing money from the taxpayers.
And according to gossip, He was the first person to use a Cash machine in the UK, not Reg Varney (he was hoping that if he pressed enough buttons, money might come flying out).
He's not a bad guy, people will tell you, just a bit selfish. And uncaring. And rude. And dirty. And smelly. And sly. And-
He wasn't bad.
He never took sides, he was happily neutral and would remain so. He would never nose in your buisness as long as you didn't nose in his.
Until that Boy came along.

Wheeler is mine, the dispicable cad he is.
Snitchflint species is

I love the intricacy you put into your characters. It'd all make for a lovely story someday...If you don't mind me asking, is it going to be one? I think you'd quite a whimsical writer, one with that sort of wonderfully twisted sort of style...Either way, I'm really quite loving his design.

Ah, then I hope to see it someday! Oh, I know just how that is...I'm rarely a procrastinator in anything else, but with writing, I'm terrible with it. You're all too welcome, and I do wish you the best of luck with it all. ^^

After so long he would consider it an insult against him to come to him with anything worth stealing already on your person. He expects his clients to show him enough respect not to trust him even in the slightest.

anonbea In reply to kilian777 [2011-11-19 09:19:20 +0000 UTC]

Correct!
He's a cad and he always will be, but he has an odd sense of personal honour.

He sounds truely charming, ha. I love his design and his background (mysterious as it is). But I find it a little hard to read the white text in the top picture, unless that is diliberate.

anonbea In reply to MyHatsEatPeople [2011-11-18 22:37:25 +0000 UTC]

He's saying "Son, I don't think you know who or what you're messin in."
I'll try and change the text later xD
Thankyouuuu

Very cool. I love the word "snitchflint." It's so fun to read and say.

Wheeler's design puts me in mind of the movie MirrorMask. Have you seen it?

There's a girl and a circus and a mirror world and flying books and masks and a Very Useful Book. It's a beautiful film.
