Gijsbert Delftgruber

"And supposing I did happen to know of a discreet and reliable trader who could lay his hands on the goods you seek, what would be your best offer?"

- Gijsbert Delftgruber, Aspiring Smuggler

In his early 20s, Gijsbert Delftgruber is a tall, slim, handsome young man, and he knows it. His fastidious and fashionable appearance marks him out even among the wealthier residents of Guilderveld and he is something of a local character. While his father's business isn't the most prosperous, he appears every inch the gentleman of fashion.

Gijsbert would like to think of himself as a colourful swashbuckler, champion of the people and master of the victimless crime of smuggling. Full of ready wit and banter, he is the image of the stock character of Ranald out of the antique farces. Some people take him for a fool on account of his exterior, but he has a quick, shrewd mind and a sharp eye for the main chance. He is not lacking in courage, either - although some would claim that this is mere folly brought on by his dedication to his image.

With his colourful appearance, just about everyone in this part of Marienburg knows Gijsbert by sight. His smuggling gang is based in the Red Cock Inn near the east end of Guilderveld, and he is on friendly terms with the owner, Donat Tuersveld. He knows and is wary of "Casanova" Henschmann and his followers, and generally keeps away from that side of the town. Gijsbert regards Gerardus Hondschoen as his mentor and role model, and his father with sentimental pity.
