William Balgaire Gordain Fyfe - "Drum"

    Seasoned Male, Section D Agent, Engineering and demolitions specialist

    Background

    Born 1883 – Calcutta, son of a member of the foreign office.

    Schooled in Scotland at Robert Gordon's College and St. Andrew's University.

    In his youth he was a strapping lad, sharp of mind, and a consummate tinkerer – forever playing with one project or another. It was one of these 'projects' (attempting to repair and fire one of the Muskets on display in the great hall) that earned him the nickname that he uses to this day, given to him by his classmates after one of the masters uttered the words “Musket, Fyfe” and then beat his behind like a drum with the cane.

    At St. Andrew's he studied Sciences and Engineering and also boxed for the University, however his schooling was broad, rather than deep, as his mind would flit from project to project, becoming somewhat of a Jack-of-all-Trades but master of none.

    He continued his time at St. Andrew's as a researcher, and when the Great War broke out, joined the Royal Engineers as a Lieutenant, turning his hand to knocking down many of the things his education had taught him how to build. He talks little of his experiences during the Great War, often getting a faraway look when others speak of their wartime escapades.

    After the war his efforts focused on communications technology, his firm belief being that, had better methods of communication been available then the war would have been far better organised, and thus won more swiftly with a much reduced loss of life.

    He came to the attentions of Section D when he engaged in the rescue of a Section D group that had been sent to rescue him following his kidnapping by German forces that intended to force him to work on a scientific project.

    While he secretly feels he may be a little old for field work these days, he refuses to back down from a challenge, believing that the benefits of his knowledge and experience far outweigh the physical failings that have come upon him as age begins to take its toll.
