[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5486049, member: 20323"] I was thinking a cross between Joe Pesci from "My Cousin Vinny" and Michael Keaton from "The Good Guys". Napoleon complex, probably giving kickbacks to family & friends, a bit of a sleaze, brusque with the PCs, and with some kind of eccentric comic trait. Bonus points if you throw in a smarmy accent. I envisioned a Sean Connery type (I'm thinking of his performance in Name of the Rose or Russia House), insightful, charming, a bit quaint, tongue in cheek sense of humor. Also was thinking he had an idiosyncratic habit of tea time alone at a table in center of a room with his servants all at edges of room, so when he asks for milk a runner is sent to him. Sort of an iconic trait to make your players wonder. I second Wik's selection of the Schneider character from "Last Crusade", that's just perfect. Play up the virtuous or wicked side of the NPC as you like by showing her leading a tour of young archaeology students. [/QUOTE]
