Turlough Marbleford

Professor Turlough Marbleford is a retired scientist and father of Alice Marbleford. 
==Biography==
At some point, professor Marbleford began his research on clutfunium and wrote a book Age of Clutfunium. His scientific fame aroused suspicion from the Polyhare Knights, who later raided his house and destroyed all evidence of the research.
===Down in the Mines===
After hearing, that Alice and Dr Saturn want to continue his research, he immediately disagrees worrying about the safety of his daughter. Saturn and Charles, however, support Alice's determination and he eventually decides to help the protagonists. He tells them about Griselda and her recent interest in clutfunium and borrows them his old car.
He doesn't make a physical appearance throughout the later events of the series, but he's briefly mentioned by Griselda during her plot twist.

==Trivia==
* His appearance is based on an older version of the character of Michael Sewer, the secondary protagonist of Dr Saturn's comic Chop Chop.
* Originally, his wife was supposed to be killed by the Polyhare Knights during the house raid, but this idea was scrapped for two reasons. One, it would make his story unnecessarily edgy and two, his story would be too similar to Dr Tellur, a character from PETER.
