======Tatterdemalion Strange======

Freed from the shackles of a 9-to-5, Tatterdemalion puts aside pretending to be someone zie's not, and takes instead to her true passion: acting on-stage. 

Their remarkable performance in some of Wouldiwas Shookspeared's classic plays goes remarked-upon by many a critic, and keen watchers of the //Princess of the Dragons// prequel trilogy will note the familiar face, albeit adorned by a newly-acquired goatee (the subject of more than a few emphatic comment threads), of Handservant #25. 

Tatterdemalion need not pick up crosswords again, because he never puts them down. Every so often, an empty grid and a fresh list of distinctively-written clues manifests, as though by some occult hand, on the desk of Lani Gray, Interim Puzzles Head. Even more infrequently, employees at the //Gazette// exchange hushed whispers about the suit-jacketed, cravat-wearing apparition who lingers about the office on the occasion of a birthday celebration.
