Master con artist, antagonist of Moist von Lipwig in Going Postal. He dressed in the manner of a retired pirate, and lived as such, with a cockatoo which was taught to say the phrase "12 and a half percent" (aka "one-bit" of a piece of eight). While Gilt gifts the cockatoo to Moist von Lipwig as a last gesture, strangely enough nothing more is mentioned, seen, or heard of it afterwards. He was Director of the Grand Trunk, having stolen it via a method called the "Double Lever", purchasing the company with its own money. While head of the Grand Trunk, he officed in the Tump Tower.
He is presumed dead; his crime being uncovered, he fled, and was apprehended and brought before the Patrician. He was offered the job of re-structuring the Royal Mint, which came with a salary, and some kind of hat. He declined, and it is inferred he walked out of a door with a treacherous first step, the second step being several seconds travel at terminal velocity below the first one.
