130-year-old deaf, toothless wizard.

In the closing years of his life Windle moved, and was moved, around in an iron-wheeled wheelchair; a wide and long constuction, steered by means of a little front wheel and a long, cast iron handle. Bits of baroque ironwork adorned its frame, which seemes to have been made of old drainpipes welded together. There were various dread levers of mysterious function and a huge oilskin hood. The front lever of this very heavy machine was adorned with a selection of trumpets, hooters and whistles.

At the time of his death Windle was the oldest wizard in the world - born in the year of the Significant Triangle, in the Century of the Three Lice. He died in the year of the Notional Serpent in the Century of the Fruitbat. He was an expert on ancient magical writings, although his expertise was somewhat suspect in his later years.
