His family were in the upper middle class and he was the second of four children, an older brother and two younger sisters. Soon after he graduated, he headed to America. He went there because there were more opportunities than in Scotland. Once there, he met Jennyanydots and fell madly in love with her. He married her after a year of courting her. He did not fight in the Great War, since he is quite against violence.

Yay, Skimble!

However, several things: I would like to know why Skimble carries a gun with him. Also, he was probably living in the United States when the first World War started, but since he's Scottish, it seems like he might have volunteered for that (Scotland lost 1/5 of it's male population during the war, so they were very involved in it). He would have been of age to go fight when the war started: Did he? If not, why not?

Also, does he have other relationships with other characters on the board?

And lastly: Where does he go to get a scotch? Since it's prohibition and all. Does he have a favorite haunt? Does his wife know?

These are just a couple suggestions I think might help to flesh the character out a little bit more, so you don't have to answer all the questions, but it's certainly something I'd like to see, if possible.

I think VS's comments would be useful to flesh him out, I would ove to see a bit mroe on him.

Also, I think it's probably a typo but he would have been born in 1880 not 1890 if he's 45 in 1925.

Let me know whether you decide to make revisions. He's good as is, I would like a bit more detail before I make my final say though.

I think I'm done with him. You can look over him now.

He's great, approved.
