Yeah, I was thinking about him...

I think mostly I was looking for characters to name drop.. wasn't
really planning to write the scene with the magic battle... so
maybe he's there in Net.ropolis at that time...

Wasn't there a Baron Umlaut too?  Did he dabble in magic?

Mostly though I'll probably just drop names of character rather
than write anything with them...

Don't think I'll be using him...

Thanks for the list...
