Wellington Ironside keeps to no faction and works The Yard as a Bulldog who is low slung, deliberate, and rarely in a hurry. Wellington Ironside can talk about a bent spoon argued to be a tiny shovel for an hour and still seem like new ideas are arriving in real time.

Every so often Wellington Ironside stumbles on a relic too odd to explain and wisely decides to explain it anyway.
