Character Overview
Merlin Kaggs worked along the Australian coast as a pearl smuggler and thief while maintaining his image as a legitimate businessman. His motivation shifted in later novels from profit to an obsessive desire for revenge against Hal and Roger Hunt over perceived slights, some real, some imagined. He posed a serious threat; he was clever and surprisingly courageous, always attempting to pull off audacious Coup d'état.
