Here is a character made up for Spirit of the Century which hopefully will be played this weekend! Bonus points for recognising the source of his likeness.
Background
He Appeared in the trenches of WWI and was hit in the head by a stray bullet. He was taken in as an Prisoner of War by the allied forces, as he was babelling incoherently they mistook him for a german. The wound had given him amnesia! He doesnt know who he is but found he had a knack for electronics.
The War
His stay in the Prisoner of War camp taught him to survive on very little food, in fact he found he could survive on next to nothing except cigarettes and water. Having limited access to components he found he could make gadgets with pretty much whatever was on hand at the time, even though often it was only good for one use. He came under the tuteledge of Alan Shakespeare who recognised his uncanny abilities and made him an honoury member of the century club. He was encouraged to stage an escape attempt but unfortunately Alan was lost in the tunnels and never found again. It was fortunate that Alan was rich and left everything he owned to Professor Vortex.

He managed to rescue the queen and was rewarded by being Betrothed to the queen, the only way in mercurian law to release him from his engagement was by death however a brilliant Planetary Lawyer rescued him with a loop hole in earth marriage law.
