Clone Wars Campaign: Ignatius D'avilos

In the second story arc of the Clone Wars campaign I direct, the PCs fled to the remote planet Ansion, where the NPC uncle of the party's noble ran an orbital skyhook facility. As a model for this NPC, I chose the protagonist of the hilarious novel A Confederacy of Dunces--a book which I maintain is probably the funniest ever written (my wife, however, steadfastly maintains it did not elicit a single laugh from her). The book's main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is definitely memorable--here's a description swiped from Wikipedia:

Ignatius Jacques Reilly is something of a modern Don Quixote — eccentric, idealistic, and creative, sometimes to the point of delusion. In his foreword to the book, Walker Percy describes Ignatius as a "slob extraordinary, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one."

In the campaign, Ignatius J. Reilly becomes Ignatius D'avilos and I made him a bit more likable and sympathetic (and, in retrospect, less interesting). The PCs actually ended up spending very little time on the skyhook, so I didn't get to role-play him much--probably a lost opportunity. Anyway, without further ado are his RCR stats:

Ignatius D'avilos is a short, squat man with a full red beard and mostly bald head. He wears expensive, tailored clothing and ostentatious rings. He is kind & generous, occasionally a bit dim. He still has ties to the Commerce Guild.
