“Delighted to meet you! My name’s Emmett Williams. But everybody calls me Barmy! Barmy as in proper noun, not as in adjective! Though some might disagree!”
Few people in Wolfland have a Diplôme Supérieur though Barmy is one of them. Now aged sixty he has had an illustrious career in engineering, mainly working on hydro electric plants. Seeking a gentler pace, he has found a new role as a scientist with the Garrison and he’s working on weapons technology.
He’d rather spend more time trying to develop batteries, because these days they exist mainly in the history books. The recently established Innovation Lab brings him into contact with a younger crowd, and that keeps him feeling youthful. They look up to him as a wise advisor and an occasional father figure.
Mixing his experience and their imaginative ideas, Barmy is sure that something meaningful will happen … one day!
He has been working in the Innovation Lab at the Garrison for many years. BarmyWaffle looks like a doctor, a doctor who’s about to tell somebody exactly what’s wrong with them. A tall man, aged sixty, BarmyWaffle even looks like a doctor! Habitually he wears a tie, though these days that’s a rarity. He has a slightly receding hairline with abundant dark wavy hair, streaked with ample traces of grey. Although at the back it’s a bit untidy and straggly. He says he keeps it that way deliberately so that nobody mistakes him for a marine.
His narrow, piercing, deep brown eyes are perched behind rimless glasses atop a bold, prominent nose. He invariably has a welcoming smile that makes people feel at ease, even if he is about to deliver an unwelcome diagnosis!
