| To describe Gryphon to a board member that does not know him well or at all, tell said member to imagine that guy that's at the bus stop down the street. You wouldn't notice if he wasn't there, but he's there anyway. Doesn't leave a big impact, but just enough that he isn't forgotten completely.

| Most known for supporting the [[alternate_history:British Empire]], Britishness in general, and being a good, though not excellent, mapmaker. A self-described 'right-wing communist nutjob,' however, he rarely discusses politics.
