## Biographical Information

### Birthday

17th December

An older gentleman, Malt Thaddach thinks little of the shenanigans of the youth of today. He much prefers his shenanigans! Exploration and adventure!!

## Personality

Thad's a bit of a grumpy old man, but he isn't mean spirited. He's very proper, a gentleman indeed! But not afraid to break out the grawlix or a blade if need be.

## Appearance

Thad's a tall fellow in sepia tones. He sports a pair of large round glasses and a handlebar moustache, and is dressed in explorer clothes. He is half lineless, and he has a common, harmless, Yupeayan variant of Miscoleria in a few of his lined sections.

## Backstory

Thad has spent much of his life exploring in one way or another. He has gone on many adventures across Einquell, both on his own and with companions. His favourite companions have always been his two best friends, Ollie and Whitty.

He was at a bit of a slump in his life when he started drawing. He hadn't especially counted on kids, but the resulting trio of sentient vehicles were as good as his kids once their ink came to life. He took to the seas with them a little, getting back a bit of his enthusiasm for adventure after exploring a few of the islands in the seas around Einquell.

About 60years ago, he took on another adventure with his long time pal Ollie. Something happened during that excursion that changed his outlook on life somewhat.

## Shenanigans

* 12FPS: The Trail We Blaze - Thad was visiting his good friend Ollie when there is a visitor... a knock at the door of a young fellow called Skipper... who happens to be a fan of theirs! Huh!
* 12 FPS: With or With Out It - Thad arrives at his friend Ollie's house, mere hours after their common friend Whitty had visited, with a haunted harmonica to add to Ollie's collection. He discovers that Ollie had given Whitty a map to 'Atlantis' and doesn't think that it was genuine... he'd been to that island, there was no Atlantis there! He's not going to let his friend's birthday be ruined...

* Race To Atlantis: Episode One (Malt's Crew) - Thad meets up with the four individuals that have answered his call for stealthy types to help him with his efforts to make an Atlantis for Whitty to discover. He hands them a replacement map and some vague instructions on how to get through Whitty's ship (though he's never been on Wilma before, so it's all conjecture on his part). He doesn't go with them, but he does meet them at the water's edge after they were... politely escorted from the ship.

* Race To Atlantis: Episode Two (Malt's Crew) - After an abysmal failure of swapping the maps over, Thad is carrying on with his plans. After some training at the fine art of Wave Buggy ocean work, they made their way to one of the islands to set up their Atlantis. They weren't expecting to find actual ruins on this island though, and they got the better of Thad and Georgie...

* Race To Atlantis: Episode Three (Malt's Crew) - Dillan, Minnie, and Corey made their way deeper into the ruins in order to track down Thad and Georgie, which they thankfully were able to do, with the two toons no worse for wear. Now back together, though trapped in the ruins, they make their way through the puzzles to a door...

* Race To Atlantis: Two Crew Special (Malt's and Rook's crews) - Oh, hello. There was another group of people in this place! And just as stuck as they were. They made their way down through the ruins, the ten of them came up against a rather interesting set of locals, before getting rather abruptly ejected back to their ships. Thad is... tired.
* Atlantis Can Wait: Rest Stop - After a very long day of falling and adventuring, Thad and the crew take a break on the beach. Eat, chat, chase coconuts. So peaceful.

* 12FPS: Completely Booked - Ollie had called on Thad to come and help tidy his library. Something isn't quite right though, amongst those books. They eventually have to give up, and it's just as well, as Thad looks like he has something on his mind...

* 12FPS: Old Man to Old Man to Old Man - After giving up on whatever was going on in the library, Ollie makes them coffee. He knows Thad has something to say, but before he can say it, who should arrive at the door, but Whitty! He'd been invited too, and was fashionably late, as usual. Thad is bothered though, and hesitantly reveals to his friends that he has developed Film Grain on his skin layer.

* Sunny Sails Cruise- Destination Lightbox Bay: Day Two - Thad has been told to take a mandatory holiday on the Cruise. Day one he managed to avoid much nonsense, but Day Two? There was some monkey business going on. Oh Peck no. *OH PECK NO*. He didn't need that dignity, sure. This is fine. He's fine. ~~He's not.~~
