William (Will) Raleigh
From Brass Goggles
Name: William Raleigh
Age: 27
Origin: Was a student of metaphysics and supernatural studies at the Miskatonic University for almost two years, before an 'incident' involving a ritual from a manuscript normally forbidden to students resulted in him (and several others) becoming werewolves, and later caused his expulsion from the university. Most of his close family disowned him after he was expelled from the university (among other things, due to the fact that one of the other students who became a werewolf was the son of a powerful senator.) He has since been unable to find much in the way of regular work, and has spent the past several years working on various civilian airships. Having survived being struck by lightning twice during his time in the sky has left him with some gaps in his memory and several interesting scars (as well as a slightly short temper and a few eccentricities.)
Occupation: Agent of British Military Intelligence
Cover occupation: (to be determined)
Skills: Student of the supernatural (mostly self-taught) and knows a lot about werewolves and other shapeshifters (being one helps.) Has no specific magical talents, other than those that come from being a werewolf. Familiar with most kinds of civilian airships and thier operations. Fearless around heights, and so far has failed to learn much from past experiences with storms. Very good shot with his favorite shotgun, and most other long guns. Skilled in repairing and maintaining his shotgun and similar weapons, but has little other mechanical knowledge. Collects empty cartridges and reloads his own ammunition, and likes to experiment with different loads for special purposes. (slugs, flares, incendiaries, etc.)
Weapons: A modified italian-made 12-guage shotgun with a six-round revolving cylinder. Has two interchangeable barrels, a 28-inch barrel for long-range shooting (up to about 200 yards, depending on the load) and a lighter 18-inch barrel. (accurate range of about 50-75 yards) Folding knife with a three-inch blade, but used more for utility than as a weapon.
Equipment: Basic traveling gear, a few changes of clothes and other necessities (Used to traveling light most of the time.) Reloading supplies, and several cartridge belts. Usually carries a variety of special cartridges as well as regular ammunition.
