Lol no they didn't actually, he wasn't really a main character.
He was the teacher of my main character (a girl called
Justine) whose brother went missing. A psychic contacted
Justine's family claiming to know about the missing kid, and
Algernon (Mr Inglefinger - I actually collected that LN from a real person!) debunked the whole idea of psychics for
Justine.
He was a cool character, the sort of teacher who talks to their students like equals.
Justine thought he was awesome and loved his name (she always said '
Algernon' in her head when she said Mr Inglefinger).
Ulysses would be an awesome mn though...maybe I can edit the story to put that in!
