Name: Herbert Pinkernickle
Age: 74

Appearance: At a meager 5 foot 6 Herbert shuffles through life much like has for the last 40 years. Slowly. A great bushy mustache covers his wrinkled face and his thick rimmed glasses make him seem perpetually tired. Balding and erring on the side of tubby Herbert is always seen in the same hole filled tweed jacket, faded bow tie and light brown pants. Herbert has what might be termed as 'granddad smell' which seems to manifests itself seconds before he appears seemingly appears out of thin air.

Bio: Herbert is what the big wigs at Willford & Gumbs like to term a 'lifer.' Starting in the post office as a mail boy Herbert wound his way up the postal chain until he became a simple accountant. Unfortunately for him he never really progressed from there. Although his numbers were good they were never great and every time Herbert was passed up for promotion in favour of a bushy tailed youngster. At first Herbert was angry but that quickly turned in to a depressed resignation. Continuing about his general duties he was almost completely missed when HR decided to give another round of people the boot. A young HR rep quickly did some math and discovered it would simply be more cost efficient for the company to keep Herbert on until he simply keeled over rather than pay him out.

During the restructure Herbert lost his office and official title, apart from a weekly salary, to those around him Herbert simply doesn't exist. These days Herbert simply wanders the halls, popping in to see if anyone needs anything done, listening to the Bee Gees on his walk-man or sitting by himself in the staff break-room. Herbert knows something is wrong but doesn't have be balls or the drive to even inquire about his situation. Every so often someone discovers him and asks what he actually does here. Usually Herbert smiles sadly and says he simply does the rounds. This seems to appease most people's curiosity and allows Herbert to wander off and peek in to yet another office.
