And a bit of a background story.
Once again, these are Foundry Seadogs and Swashbucklers.
The interesting thing here is that one of these figures is a monk, something quite odd, seeing as there were no religious orders in post-Reformation England.
Anyway, I have decided that the guy in the robes isn't actually a monk. Instead, he is a scholar, known only as Brother Johannes, a fanatical enemy of all witches, warlocks and members of secret cults, and also a spy who has infiltrated a number of secret Catholic cells operating in England on behalf of the Spanish king and the Papacy. The central figure is Doctor Frans van Helsing, a Hermetic philosopher and alchemist and reputedly a scholar of the Dark Arts, and the figure on the right is Willem Bocq, Doctor van Helsing's manservant and assistant. He is carrying a chest containing various important items that van Helsing might require as part of his investigations into unexplained phenomena. Doctor van Helsing has long been an associate of the famous Doctor John Dee and has also carried out secret work for Sir Francis Walsingham.
I am now thinking about how I might use these characters in games with a supernatural aspect.
