Nimrod Pennyroyal (TRAPPISiN)

Nimrod Pennyroyal is a friendly author of adventure books which purportedly retell his travels across the world. Their authenticity is somewhat suspect, but they remain bestsellers. The historians in London criticised his work for focusing more on the adventure and romance than the history. Most of what he claims to have done is not true and is just written for the money. An exception of this is Predators Gold, which is mostly changed, still hangs on to most of the events in the story. He does seem to have some grains of historical authentication, for instance when Tom says Pennyroyal believed "the Ancients had machines called 'eye-pods' where they could store thousands of songs on tiny little gramophone records.

Nimrod Pennyroyal was born in Brighton on September 22, 957 TE. His father was unknown. After being expelled from several schools he started working in the theatre before setting out into the world as an adventure.

Pennyroyal wishes to travel with Elexis Sinclaire and Hester Shaw. He tells Elexis of his discoveries and adventures in America. Elexis is amazed by Pennyroyals discoveries, but wonders why she hasn't heard much of them before.
