History Of Dr Phineas W.Steel I.


My group in conjunction with her Majesty's Secret Service
have discovered some rather interesting facts regarding
your family history.In fact there are items that are were
officially classified until the recent passage of the Freedom
Of Information Act passed by parliament.

It has been known by the relevant agencies that your great
grandfather and namesake was declared an official enemy of
the Empire by queen Victoria herself after an incident in June
of 1882.

The facts concerning this and many other incidents were kept
from public knowledge for the obvious reason that knowing at
that time of such advanced weaponry and devices would undermine
the peoples confidence in the government. It was also determined
that your great grandfather was at the center of many crisis's involving
our and other governments running from the 1880 to 1920. One
astounding and peculiar facet in all this was the fact that "apparently"
your great grandfather did not age after 1890. All reports on him
simply ceased on or about 1924.

Our agency in compliance with the FOIA will be slowly releasing all
it has over the coming months regarding the activities of
Dr Phineas W. Steel I. at our official web page.

The response from the good Doctor:


My dear Don,

Indeed, it seems that the inevitable truth is coming to light. I must
admit that I too am uncovering such details of the "larger picture"
and as you discover such information through this avenue, I too begin
to realize the scope of what shall be revealed.

I look forward to the information you may have access to, likewise I
shall continue to delve into the rather foggy memory-banks of my
transformation. I do not rule any possibilities out.


Sincerely,
~Dr. Phineas Waldolf Steel

Fascinating geneological research gentlemen. Worthy of the Imperial Academy in London!

Thank you gentlemen, I must admit after seeing the Dr Steel link over on Tas's page. Then corresponding with the good doctor, a germ of an idea began almost instantly. There are so many events in the European colonial period that have little or no definitive explanation.It seemed to me that someone like our friend the doctor would be the perfect plug in or at worse the shadowy figure in the background as it were. He can also work in alliance with both historical and fictional villains to add spice to the story line. I see him as the mastermind
behind the actions of various anarchistic groups in both history and those in the better known works of fiction. I also see where he could be used in game play as the unknown (but to a few highly placed intelligence operatives and ministry heads) provocateur in certain native uprisings. Or again the unknown agent in providing otherwise primitives with advanced
weaponry.The options here are limitless! I for one look forward to modeling one of his giant (steam powered) robots, and other weapons suitable for our era.

Oh indeed. It has been rumoured that Dr Steel is in fact the creator of the Iron Giant more genrally known as the "Steel Tsar" which is pictured here:

It is also rumoured that he has been supplying Anarchist sympathisers for years....

I wonder if Bill has connected
the dots with the Islamic tribes uprising (see 'The VSF Campaign")
