Character Challenge 30 of 31: Uncle Heinlich

We are back to the vigilante game and the Grey Cat will roam again. And as a result, think I may expand on her hapless Uncle Heinlich. From her character write up:

Uncle Heinlich (from the old country; similar to the aunt in the 66 Batman show, so clueless but was her guardian until she turned 21). Manages the various holdings though questions some of her choices.

Seeing as I don't really need stats, I've added to my Heimlich Codex. The codex has 8 Heimlich's now. Most with a niece they need to take care of. From that entry:

Heinlich Lincoln, the slightly befuddled uncle of Anna Elizabth Lincoln. Her parents were killed when she was 16, and being the eldest brother of her mother, he stepped in to raise the orphan. Known as “Little Orphan Anna” in the yellow journals, Heinlich has done his best to raise her though she did not need much. He is totally ignorant of her double life as the Gray Cat, a costumed vigilante.

A bit soft in the head, and very soft in the heart, he is quite jovial. Speaking with a heavy German accent, he is often misunderstood and barely speaks English. Short at just over five feet, he is nearly as round as he is tall. Some have laughed at the man, yet despite his appearances, he is a shrewd businessman. Helping to run his niece’s burgeoning business empire, he is on the board of three of the various companies. 

He is also completely unaware of the Cat’s Lair under the mansion they live in. Originally part of an abandoned subway station, Anna has had contractors expand it out quite a bit, each working on a different section and not knowing the full extent of the updates. Heinlich just believes that the wine cellar is larger than it was when Anna’s parents were alive. 

With a twinkle in his eye, he offers guests at the mansion drinks and appetizers, made by one of the several maids that keep the mansion clean. He is a bit uncertain about Joseph Quentin, Anna’s trainer. But as his niece has been doing gymnastics since a wee lass, he hopes that there is nothing untoward happening in their intense training sessions.
