Inventory: Expensive wine or Ale from his stash, spare cash, a listening/recording device, notebook and pen, and a compact video camera as well as batteries for it.


Personality: This guy is seedier than a corn field at the start of the growing season. He is as strong as an Ox and a sly character, always looking to make a quick buck and have the easy life.




Special Skills:

Espionage (unfortunately):

 With his gear he's able to dig up all sorts of information to blackmail those around him or take things to sell. Unfortunately for him (luckily for the staff) he has been unable to dig up much dirt on his fellow Rendell workers but that doesn't stop him from trying.


Barman:

 Despite him dumping most of his work load on his assistant, he does know how to run a good bar. So when he isn't scheming for a quick buck or trying to blackmail someone he can make the bar run rediculously smooth.


Hacking:

Since most things are done by computer these days he has practiced the art of hacking. While he can't get into high security/top secret files (Which covers a few of the workers thanks to their, uh, hobbies) he can usually dig up enough to piece the story together or (even better) find a next of kin to question instead.




Likes:

Lazing about.

Drinking.

Digging up dirt on those with more money.

Blackmailing others.




Dislikes:

Digging into the pasts of his workmates and finding nothing.

Being unable to dig into his workmates pasts at all.

Having to work when he doesn't want to.

When his Assistant is unable to cover for him at work.

The Proximity of the Bar and Kitchen (The cook glares at him) and the routine of the Butler because he glares at him too.

Dr. Klaus - mainly because the doctor hates anyone snooping into his or certain other people's business and is not afraid to say so.




Romantic Choices: No-one at the moment (not surprising really - who'd have him?).




How did you arrive?:
He was tracking down some information on one of his workers when Rendell found him. Impressed with his skills he was asked to work for him, giving George access to a working bar and top of the line equipment practically free.


How could he say no?




Your Personal Record:
Born in the East-end of London as the youngest of six brothers and four sisters to working class parents Jim and Maureen. His father owned a marketstall where he sold his various wares by day, then on his way home of an evening he would drop by various pubs and sell more of his stock to various 'regular clients'. The fact that the majority of Jim Shepperton's stock was either stolen, cheap forgeries or bootlegged didn't seem to matter.

Maureen ran a tight ship as a housewife, raising ten children, sorting out the families finances, stockpiling food, ensuring bills were paid up to date and during school hours working part time at a local pub. During her time as a barmaid she'd often gamble or have bets with the locals, rarely losing she'd pocket the extra money to suppliment her housekeeping and earned herself the nickname 'Lucky Mo' into the bargain. Nobody had even suspected she'd been using 'sleight of hand', 'con tricks' or just plain cheating to win these wagers.


Jim and Maureen instilled these ideals and methods into their children at an early age as kind of 'survival tactics' to ensure they could always get by in life.

Needless to say, young George and his siblings added even more shady 'survival tactics' of their own to the agenda as time went by.




Goals: To hit the big time and live comfortably for the rest of his days.
