James Braddock

James Braddock was the publican of Strines in 1854. Due to the separate machinations of Faction Paradox attempting to create a bubble universe so as to replace the Eleven-Day Empire and the witch Elizabeth Howkins attempting to exact revenge on the loa Spinning Jenny for the death of her husband, he becomes simultaneously both inside and outside the bubble universe the Faction is attempting to create. This in turn allowed him to be transformed into a living tunnel between the bubble universe and the outside, an event that dramatically slows his aging, on the order of one tenth of a normal human.

When the bubble universe is collapsed, and the tunnel instead becomes a cavern, the Faction instead adopts James Braddock himself as their new base of operations. (PROSE: Spinning Jenny)
