A walrus. A gentleman.
Usually the last person still sitting.
REGINALD, IN BRIEF
Reginald Brine likes old hotels, heavy coats, quiet bars, newspapers that still stain your fingers, and chairs nobody else is allowed to use. He has no interest in being mysterious. People simply keep inventing stories about him.
Ask where he came from and he will change the subject. Ask what he wants and he will tell you plainly. Most evenings, that means a decent drink, a warm room, and five minutes without anyone saying “opportunity.”
HOUSE ETIQUETTE

If Reginald stands up, the meeting is over.
A WORD FROM REGINALD
“Sit down.
You’re making the room nervous.”
Reginald is patient, not passive. He simply prefers to know how badly everyone else wants something before deciding whether he wants it at all.
