JAKE WESTTHE DARK WIND (1991)The mysterious but friendly owner of a trading post in the Navajo reservation in Arizona, and also an amateur witch who's killing people to avenge the murder of his son. With me so far? Okay, also I'm there and I work for him. And we're in love.

PROFESSOR PLUMCLUEDO franchiseMy own version of Professor Plum, syncretizing mostly the 1980 movie and a 1992 game show no-one remembers. He's small, scholarly and lascivious. I'm smaller, more of a dandy and more lascivious. Whether or not one of us is a murderer depends on the timeline. But we both have it in us.
