Doc Synchronous, L.O.S.E.R. Leader
There are numerous reports from published newspapers in the American colonies attesting that Doc Synchronous is a snake oil salesman, a charlatan, and a dealer of weapons. In the wilds of the Americas, these crimes may be taken lightly, but not in London! Our man from Scotland Yard is most concerned that this “Doctor” leads an international organization of villainy. Check out the details and photos of Doc Synchronous in his Logbook entry.

Phineas Sinclair Joins the Logbook Crowd
Phineas Sinclair is known for being an airship smuggler, Confederate sympathizer, villainous rights supporter, horse thief, train robber, and Cthulhu cultist. That’s quite a Victorian rap sheet! And, for the first time, Chief Inspector Erasmus Drake has illustrative evidence of a crime in progress. One of Scotland Yard’s men doesn’t take this lightly. Check out all of Phineas’ details, with a photo showing a train robbery in progress, in his Logbook entry.

New Logbook Entries!
Let’s ponder Gertrude (illustrated below), a cyborg of questionable allegiance. She’s an aethership concierge by occupation, and Erasmus has proof that her sideline is as a procurer of all things rare and precious. More details can be obtained on her logbook entry.
Our other entry is Professor Ambrosius, an evil boy-genius aspiring to join the L.O.S.E.R.s. He is currently under the tutelage of Doc Synchronous, who is a charlatan and purveyor of remedies and medicines (of questionable efficacy). I ask you gentlefolk, what is this world coming to?! As with the rest of the mischief-making lot, the Chief Inspector has more details regarding the lad in his logbook entry.

New Logbook Entry: Alastar Hyde!
The latest entry is Alastar Hyde, another person photographed by Jerry Abuan at Gaslight Gathering 2. I have to mention (again) that Jerry is impressively omnipresent at almost all San Diego Steampunk events, snapping pictures. At Gaslight Gathering he took over 890 pictures! Well worth a look, I must say.
Alastar Hyde is a very interesting character, and definitely deserves to be in Chief Inspector Drake’s Logbook. The primary note regarding him is “Pleasant gentleman by day with a tendency towards sadistic pleasures after sunset.” Hmm.
Additional notes in the margin indicate “Alastar has traveled throughout the world and time, experiencing many adventures. He spent a significant amount of time in the Middle East while he was waiting for authorities in London to lose interest in certain incidents of violence and mayhem which may have been associated with his presence. During that time he traveled with a band of wandering musicians and performers, learning the ways of the Bedouin.” This is followed by a hand-drawn arrow down to a rare photo taken in some god-forsaken desert, showing Alastar himself standing in the back row of a motley band.
Incredible bit of evidence! See for yourself!

Bludyanne Joins the Logbook
Jerry Abuan was the photographer for the Gathering, and has posted an excellent collection of his pics on his website (over 890 images). He has created a truly amazing gallery from the event, and it shows off his great eye for what makes an interesting shot. For example, take a gander at this.

We teamed up with Jerry and offered that we would add a Logbook of Intriguing and Noteworthy Persons entry for anyone that wanted a web page for their steampunk character. Please welcome our first taker, Bludyanne.
Due to Jerry’s fine work, we have five photographs in Bludyanne’s web page, a few of which show off the finer details of her attire.
I’ll be adding more entries to the Logbook soon!

Lady Amethyst and Her Gentleman Admirer
At the masquerade ball, the adventurous pair met up with Lady Amethyst and her mysterious gentleman admirer. They had a grand time, discussing past exploits and madcap heroic deeds. Lady Amethyst was kind enough to allow her image to be captured for inclusion into the Chief Inspector’s The Logbook of Intriguing and Noteworthy Persons. Luck would have it that the mysterious gentleman’s likeness was also recorded!
Lady Amethyst and Her Gentleman Admirer
Sparky was thrilled to meet the noted crypto-zoologist. “I’ve read all of her published works!,” Sparky declared, “how wonderful it was to meet her!” View the new Logbook entry to acquire the particulars that Erasmus gathered about this couple.

Yet Another Logbook Entry: Dr. Edmond Pogue
Ed had a number of costumes for “Edmond,” but decided on this one for “The Logbook of Intriguing and Noteworthy Persons.” He also wore an overcoat, repurposed as a fancy lab coat, that was previously one of the costume pieces in the movie “Gangs of New York.” I guess it’s one of those odd little benefits of living in San Diego and being relatively close to Hollywood is that sometimes you find these things on sale.
As faithful readers know, Dr. Pogue is a critical part of the D&McT story line right now. Now, you no longer need to picture him in your head. Click on his link below and read all about him.

A New Entry to the Logbook: "Jonny B." Goode
While there, we were spotted by Sky Marshal Jonathan Baines “Jonny B.” Goode. After an email exchange, Jonathan noticed that we offered to post steampunk characters’ pictures and details in “The Logbook of Intriguing and Noteworthy Persons.” He jumped at the chance. Take a gander at his entry.

It is Finally Here! The Logbook of Intriguing and Noteworthy Persons!
Katherine and I have added a new section to the Drake & McTrowell website specifically for steampunks to submit pictures and details of their characters. I have added three of them so far:
Erasmus L. Drake
Dr. “Sparky” L. McTrowell
Mr. Jonathan Lord Ashleigh
For each character, there is a “thumbnail” picture in The Logbook of Intriguing and Noteworthy Persons, and an individual web page (see the links in the pictures above).
