Basic Info
Bumbershoot is an old, bitter black market fence and smuggler whose luck was about to run out when he was welcomed aboard the Rogue Asylum. Content to leave his dead-end life behind, he has taken up the role of Quartermaster and cargo manager aboard the airship, meticulously ticking check boxes for inventory and instinctively appraising the value of everything that passes his gaze.

While Bumbershoot isn't much for hand to hand these days, he can produce throwing knives from his sleeves in the blink of an eye. If he's out on the town, chances are he has a rifle slung over his shoulder.



He's learned a lot over the years and has extensive experience with trade, appraisal, and shop keeping. If you need something bought or sold, he can usually get in touch with the guy you need. And if you need some documents on the fly, he's can create passible forgeries. Having kept his finger on the pulse of the underground all these years, Bumbershoot also has a broad knowledge of criminal enterprises and law enforcement alike.

Background
Aloysius Umbra was the young heir of one of the most powerful merchant families on the planet. With connections in raw goods, manufacturing and sales, the Umbras were a force to be reckoned with. That is, until the great war came to an end. A rival merchant family, the Penumbras, had been looking for an opportunity to knock the Umbras from their successful position. As the war was coming to a close, the Penumbras filled one of the Umbra warehouses with armaments and forged bills of sale to the enemy. Just one casualty in a flurry of witch hunts that followed the war, the newly established Alliance government accused Aloysius and his family of treason, and all of their holdings were confiscated. As a man of great, but rapidly depleting means, Aloysius secured his own escape, but the magnificent Umbra Manor with its extensive estate and private skyport was bought at government auction by the Penumbras in a final act of humiliation.

Its been over 40 years since those events transpired and Aloysius has more than 60 years under his belt. Upon his exile, he used his connections and knowledge to develop extensive blackmarket connections. Working at times as a fence, appraiser, smuggler, document forger and acquirer of the rare and illicit, Aloysius has fallen far from his respectable beginnings. Now known only by his moniker Bumbershoot, Aloysius has developed a reputation as reliable, no-nonsense fence.
