===Background===
Merlin Quiggle was always a curious boy, devouring every book on science his small town had to offer, so when a travelling "professor" passed through he went and chased after him. Over the years he learned how to play the banjo and sell useless tonics to a crowd, getting much better at one than the other. Even more important, he learned if you added a little ghost rock those useless tonics could become useful indeed. So he began traveling the West, selling tonics to the crowd and cures to select customers in between poking his nose into local curiosities, enough of which tried to bite that nose off to inspire him to learn his way around a gun.

Merlin is a white man in his late 30s, average height but rail-thin, with brown hair, a respectably scholarly mustache, brown eyes framed by round glasses, and a face that somehow just can't look mean. Wears lime-green suits and a top hat by preference.
