Description
DUDLEY COOK is ADHD, totally impulsive and equally uncontrollable, despite the efforts of friends & family. Dudley is small in build for a toad and is sometimes called a frog by others, much to his annoyance.Dudley is always looking for the next thing to jump on. Sailing, rowing, cycling, horse riding, carriage riding, motorcycle, and now cars. He has heard that a friend of a friend has a thing called an airplane… “It Flies! IT FLIES!! There is a God!”
Dudley is always the one willing to be a test pilot for anything Victor and Morris come up with.
VICTOR STOKER is gruff, even for a badger. Prone to mood swings, many call him bi-polar but never to his face and only then if they are fast runners.
He prefers solace, finding that people tend to pry into his life and he would prefer if no one knew what he was up to in the labyrinth of tunnels that lay beneath his house and the old city they all lead to, especially as he isn’t entirely sure himself. He likes to experiment far from the prying eyes of those that would not understand his thirst for knowledge.
Victor has a good relationship with Russell Boiger, a devious weasel who somehow manages to lay his hands on books from the outside world. Books of human words and knowledge that Victor can never get enough of.
Victor strikes up a strange friendship with Morris Moore, something that upsets Terry (Ratty) and jealousy was never one of his strong suits.
Victor’s father, Lewis Stoker, was the mayor of the Weir and started Victor’s obsession with books and learning. Lewis lost an arm and sight in one eye during a battle when the Queen of Hearts led an attack and was pushed back by the forces of Oz and the animals in the Weir. Knowing his sight in his good eye was fading Lewis walked out of the woods and was never seen again.
