Aloysius Fairweather is a 60-year-old eccentric inventor from the steampunk-inspired city of Automata. Obsessed with time-travel, Aloysius has dedicated his life to discovering a way to traverse the temporal planes. He has a lean build, an unkempt mane of white hair, and a wiry mustache that constantly requires twirling. Aloysius is usually seen wearing a grease-stained lab coat, round wire-frame glasses, and fingerless gloves. On occasion, he dons a top hat adorned with brass gears, which conceals his many gadgets and tools. Aloysius is extremely intelligent, but scatterbrained, often losing himself in thought or excitedly mumbling about his latest discovery. When he speaks, it's with a frenetic energy and a strong penchant for technobabble.
