Alston "Stumbleduck" Raulner

Appearance
Stumbles is typically seen wearing a large coat that has a seemingly infinite number of pockets. More often than not, you'll find him tinkering away at a gadget or thingamajig of some variety, muttering to himself.

Background
Stumbleduck is the 4th of 5 born of his family in the Raulner clan, but the first male born. His father wants him to talk over the repair shop because humans prefer dealing with male business leaders. His 3 older sisters bully him a bit, so there’s no love lost there, and his little brother "Noggin" is his closest family member currently. Noggin always looked up to Stumbleduck.

Wizardry
Stumbleduck was closest with his grandfather who was one of the only wizards born into the Raulner clan. No one else trusted magic, because anything else could be done mechanically. But Stumbleduck believed in magic, and he doesn’t actually know how he casts spells, it just happens when he tinkers with his gadgets while reading his grandfather’s spell book.

Grandpa Raulner set out on an adventure one day; he left his spell book and many of his tools with Stumbleduck, and left. No one has heard from him since (though he’s likely still alive) and nobody knows why he left his spell book with Stumbleduck when he may need it on the road.

Tiberius
Stumbles still hasn't gotten to know Tiberius very well, but he has a reasonable amount of respect for the former sergeant.

Talrisa
Stumbles and Talrisa go together very well, bouncing ideas off each other like rubber. Talrisa in particular began to appreciate Stumbles a lot more once he repaired her broken lute.

Bryd the Bronze
Stumbles and Bryd have worked together for a reasonable amount of time at Private Dicks, even working the Shia LaBeouf case together. Stumbles affectionately refers to Bryd as "Muscles".

Grandpa Raulner
The reason that Stumbles became a wizard in the first place, Grandpa Raulner was a wizard of considerable strength. Rather than emulate his father's footsteps, Stumbles is following his grandfathers path, because he finds it infinitely more interesting. Grandpa Raulner has been missing for several years.

Jierdan
Stumbles' boss is still a conundrum to him. Secretive by nature, they haven't gotten the chance to speak very often, but they always address each other with kindness and respect.
