Merlin Kaggs worked along the Australian coast as a pearl smuggler and thief while maintaining his image as a legitimate businessman.

He posed a serious threat; he was clever and surprisingly courageous, always attempting to pull off audacious Coup d'état.

Famous quotes containing the word character:
“Man was born to live with his fellow human beings. Separate him, isolate him, his character will go bad, a thousand ridiculous affects will invade his heart, extravagant thoughts will germinate in his brain, like thorns in an uncultivated land.”
