The Butler of the Crimson King, the Keeper of Townson Manor, the sassy thespian that keeps the order amongst the disordly. Algernon is a very peculiar situation. Far more than just the Keeper, Algernon is Jack's very special best friend (and part time lover), as well as in many cases his protector. Algernon on the surface may still appear to be that plucky theatre student from New Jersey, but underneath there is a demonic flame that dances with brilliance.
Algernon's mystery is one of deep importance, as it leads him to learn the truth of who he is and where he comes from. Quick witted, sharp tongued, and always looking out for the monsters about him, Algernon is more than just the caretaker of the chaotic Townson, he is the heart and soul of the Degenerate Kingdom of undesirables, as well as the moral compass of King Bloody Fangs. Always there with an ear, a cup of tea, or a fireball if need be.
We come across Algernon as he is aiding to heal the Lord of Darkness from his losses and pain, the young man finding himself more alone than ever before, but never without his friend. Their world is flipped upside as a young red headed writer stumbles her way through the manor doors and into their lives.
Yay, Algernon! I love him.
Also great, now that "Part Time Lover" song is stuck in my head.... 😆
