Gazzard Banth
Gazzard Banth
Detective Gazzard Banth is a Nymph of Inquisitiveness, appearing as an ambiguously Belgan or Vernan man in his late 20s to mid 30s. Known to 4th to 6th grade audiences of Belgan-speaking Regencies for his pulp fiction book series, his reach and influence is a hit-or-miss local phenomenon in the Real Realm, as are his prospects for growing his powers due to the insubstantial, blasé quality of his storytelling. Combined with the publisher's strategy to print out so many novellas that the printers catch fire, they managed to make Gazzard Banth's mystery novels one of an ever-growing number of eyesores in the year 79 AN, polluting shelves more so than stocking them.
Posh, sycophantic, and not fond of slight, the fabricant nonetheless tends to make observant assumptions from the clues he's provided. Devoid of his author's omniscience, however, the poorly substantiated -- but conveniently correct -- conclusions that he would normally come to in his fictional universe tend not to lead him to the actual perps in the Real Realm right away, thus he often needs some extra time to correct his errors and incorporate greater deductive reasoning. Seemingly trapped at a low power level, he wants to get even with the Social Rejects Club for defiling his posters. More importantly, defeating Ecco and apprehending his human friends offers him a chance to gain favor and opportunities with his lord, Colossus Belga.
Gazzard works as an investigator on behalf of the Emperor, and seems to have caught on to the brief spike in juvenile criminality in the city of Mellow Town -- "Anomalous Organism 1" likely being of interest as the instigator. He possesses an extendable, indestructible, prehensile whip for restraining and punishing his enemies, but little else; one would dread to think what else he could get his hands on if his creator was more competent as an author, exploited loopholes in WEI's Literature Codes more vigorously, or if Gazzard expressed more agency.
He would be voiced by James Arnold Taylor, albeit more British.
