About The Doctor
The epicurious Doctor Ink has landed on our shores from distant lands.
Born the bastard love child of a drunken encounter of her Imperial Majesty, Queen
Victoria Regina and a young Cecil Rhodes, the story of Daedalus Ramssees Ink is
riddled with controversy from the very moment he drew his first breath.
His father at 17 was shipped off to the Africas by the establishment to quell the
possible scandal of his birth and Daedalus rarely was allowed to meet with him. On
one visit as a toddler Daedalus witnesses his father selling ice to miners, a precursor
to him following in his father’s footsteps in one way at least.
Christened Daedalus Ramesses Ink, his own name serves as a permanent reminder to
him never aspire to fly too close to the sun or throne, remember that the lost kings
of Egypt were buried in the mists of time and that his name should never leave a
black mark on his mother’s reign.
To his gang of rogues, scoundrels, rakes, compadre’s & assorted miscreants he calls
friends he is known as ‘Doctor’ in mockery of his initials being stamped on all his
belongings.
The Doctor has travelled the length and breadth of the empire and beyond. His
roguish nature has led him astray on more than one occasion and caused many a
cuckolded husband or ten. He has been chased out of more ports than he can recollect
however he always manages to grab a memento before he escapes.
His latest den of inequity, hiding in plain sight, can be found at Her Majesty’s
customs house on the quay of Exeter’s historic waterfront, the oldest customs house
in Britain. A night out with Daedalus will offer curious drinks from all corners of
the empire,
