The Ingenious Patriot

Of average height and build, not particularly remarkable in appearance, allowing him to blend in. His most notable physical trait is his ability to conceal numerous items on his person.

Attire: A formal, multi-pocketed suit or coat of a dark, sturdy fabric like wool, designed specifically to conceal his many inventions and papers. The cut is somewhat tailored but loose enough to allow for the bulk of his hidden items. Perhaps a high-collared shirt and a cravat, common for a man seeking an audience with a monarch in the 19th century.

Wants: To amass wealth by exploiting his inventive genius and the King's desire for military superiority.

Flaw: His insatiable greed and overconfidence, which lead him to push his luck too far.

Starts as a confident, self-serving inventor, but his greed and ingenuity ultimately lead to his downfall and execution.

Ingenious, opportunistic, greedy, cunning, resourceful, and ultimately cowardly.
