Quirks -5
Refers to himself as "Grandpa"
Always on about burying people: Whoever you're talking about, he's
sure he buried them last week; Any time he sees somebody that's
sleeping / wounded, says "Oh this one's ready for buryin'"
When he meets people, always talks about the size / shape of coffin they
would require
Whatever place your talking about, he's heard that it's haunted -- And
he's interested
Wants to look after teammates like a protective father / big brother

Notes
Voice: Welsh / Cockney hybrid, somewhat like the farmer on Are You
Being Served Again. Uses dipthongs where single vowels would be ("I've
heard" becomes "Oi've heard"). Frequent glottal-stops ("Got to go" becomes
"Go'a go"). Drops the 'H' from beginning of words ("Hello, Henry" becomes
"'Allo, 'Enry"). Voice has a hollowy, raspy sound to it.
What are his motivations? - Some possibilities follow. A lot of
these could be 'Obsession' or 'Compulsive Behavior'.
- Figure out why the spirits are always bothering him
- Figure out why the cats are always bothering him
- Find bodies to bury
- Is just plain curious about things
- Has spent his whole life diggin' graves and is ready to start livin'
