Titanic Characters
Characters are found in and around the cabins and decks on board the RMS Titanic.
Characters
Smethells, your steward
Smethells is not only the first character you meet, but one of the most obnoxious. Penny is right when she tells you to "kick him smartly in the shins". Self-centered and bossy, he's really of no importance. He can be found on C or B Deck's Grand Staircase.
The Purser
The Purser is the most important of the staff. You'll be talking to him many times. His passenger list, cargo manifest, and keys will be of great help. His office is on C Deck, near the Grand Staircase.
The Lift Attendant
There is one of these behind the Grand Staircase on A, B, C, and D Decks. He's a chap who gives directions and takes you from place to place. Each one on each floor is a different person, though they look and speak the same.
Third Officer Morrow
Morrow is a heroic, loyal veteran of the Boer War who hates alcohol, smoking, whiners, and apologizers. He patrols outside the wireless room on the Boat Deck, starboard side. You have to say the right things in the right order to him to get into the wireless room, a crucial part of the game.
Seamen One, Two and Three
There are three seamen in this game, and they have no names, just numbers. One is in the boiler control room, one guards the bridge, and one the cargo hold. Unimportant characters, although they can be mildly entertaining during the sinking.
Coal Shoveler
There are lots of coal shovelers down in the boiler rooms, but they're all the same person. If you talk a lot, he'll get really mad at you, and then you have the chance to call him a landlubber. By doing this, you make friends. This has no impact on the game - I suspect Cyberflix may have intended to program something here (probably involving the Rubaiyat), but decided against it.
Penny Pringle, your contact
Penny is basically a hint voyeur for those who are stuck. You only have to report to her a few times. She's bossy, but a good spy. She can be found in the gymnasium at the beginning, and in her cabin, F-34 second class, after that.
Leyland Sachum Trask, American psychic
Leyland is another optional character. He does readings of objects and then tells you to go someplace or do something (the Turkish bath, find a rope, the Cafe Parisian, etc.) I recommend you try everything you have on him - occasionally you'll be surprised. He never leaves the A Deck Grand Staircase until the ship starts to sink, at which time he moves to the smoking room.
Lady Georgia Lambeth
Georgia is an old friend of yours who lost track of you many years before. It's important to get your hands on her diamonds. Beware, the ones she wear are fake! Georgia is found on the stern of the boat deck first, then the stern on A Deck, and then in her cabin, B-70.
Lord Charles Lambeth
Georgia's husband. She married him for his title and his fortune. Charles is a drinker, so his fortune is depleted and the novelty of being a Lord has worn off. Charles can be found in the Smoking Room at times, and will drop in on you talking to Georgia in her cabin.
Sasha Barbicon, crooked London art dealer
Barbicon is an extremely important character. He's of Serbian ancestry, and part of the Black Hand group. He's supposedly shepherding paintings to New York; you need to get one of them (secret English troop deployment plans). He cares strongly about money, money, and... er... money. He's a good friend of both Colonel Zeitel and Vlad Demonic, who eventually kills him. He can be found in his cabin, A-14.
Vlad Demonic, Serbian stowaway
Vlad is a Serb who refused Barbicon's offer to pay his ticket and stowed away instead. Careful; he's looking for the Rubaiyat, and willing to kill for it. He's at first in Engine Room Three, then near the ladder to the smokestack (where you get into a fistfight with him) and, as the ship sinks, in the turbine room.
Colonel Zeitel, German "embassy inspector"
Zeitel is another evil man. A German spy, he's your chief opponent. He's willing to take any of your precious items, and to kill for them. He divides his time between the Cafe Parisian and his cabin, C-59.
Willi Von Haderlitz, Austrian intellectual and junior professor
Haderlitz is one of the most popular characters. He's working for the Russians, and means to give his notebook to them. Unfortunately, he never gets off the ship; he never even sees it go down. Haderlitz is electrocuted in the Turkish Bath shortly after your fencing match with him. He can be found in the Café Parisian on occasion, but not often.
Claris Limehouse, Haderlitz's girlfriend
Claris is a pretty girl who fell in love with Willi on the ship. Her parents disapproved of him. Her cabin is D-19.
Henry and Ribeena Gorse-Jones, British couple
Henry's rapier wit and Ribeena's... uh... presence make for an unusual couple. They get tiresome quickly, though. A funny thing; you never see their actual bodies, just their heads. They will magically appear as you jump to various areas of the Grand Staircase. They also come in handy late in the game if you're lucky.
Max Seidelmann, buyer for Haymaker's Department Store
Max is a social, self-centered American who smokes. He's important mainly in the information-giving ring, but this time it's vital. Max is on the starboard side of the boat deck calling to you at the beginning, then can be found in the smoking room or D-Deck Reception.
Eric Burns, American photographer
Eric is a devoted photographer who never gives up the chance for a photo - even on his honeymoon. He's really a non-character unless you opt for one of the side plots. His cabin is C-78; close to yours. His wife, Stephanie, can never actually be talked to, but you can't miss her blue hat.
Daisy Cashmore, American society woman
Daisy represents all things social. She, like Burns, is a non-character. She's found at the foot of the Grand Staircase on B Deck, with gossip and a favour.
Andrew Conkling, wealthy steel baron
Conkling is the only other person on the ship besides Pringle who knows you're a secret agent. He's nowhere to be found unless you do Daisy's favour. Once you do, he's at Aft Scotland Road and then his cabin, B 59. Incidentally, if you want to wander around the boat deck as the ship sinks, you can watch Officer Morrow shoot him.
Beatrix Conkling, wife of Andrew
Beatrix is a fashion designer. She wears a humongous feathered hat. She'll be seen in the Smoking Room.
Shailagh Hacker, former maid to the Conklings
Shailagh, traveling third class, was transferred from the Olympic because of a coal strike. When she quit her job, she stole an important document from the Conklings. It told of bad steel (which they put in the Titanic). She just wanted it to protect her new baby, Eddie. She didn't know it was important. She can be found with her brother on the Poop Deck once you've talked to Andrew and then in her cabin, F 59.
Jack Hacker, Shailagh's brother
Jack will go to no end to stand up for Shailagh. He has possession of Conkling's letter; and wants $5000 for it! He can be found on the Poop Deck with his sister and then can be seen after you've acquired the note from the Electric Bath at the Scotland Road.
Reverend Edgar Troutt, a minister returning from a mission in Africa
Troutt is a devout yet bossy minister whose wife was lost in Africa. He's returning to his home in New Hampshire. Troutt can be seen in the Second Class Stairs on E-Deck and then on the Boat Deck, spewing faith. I do hope he's not an accurate representation of the 1912 preaching society.
Buick Riviera, French cardsharp, gambler, and marketing director for Cyberflix
I felt it fitting to leave Buick until last because he also had an appearance in another of Cyberflix's adventures, Dust: A Tale of the Wired West. (Great game.) You'll note that one of the places he mentions when he asks if you've met before is Diamondback, New Mexico. That's the scene of Dust, and the Hard Drive Saloon is a location there. He's in the Smoking Room, just waiting to play some hands of blackjack.
