[J. Alfred Darrow]

Alfred has currently slept with four different women, on four separate continents. The first was when he was nineteen and in port in Boston; she was sixteen or something like that and worked at the magical tavern everyone was getting drunk at, and her name was Rosie. He spent the entire port call being over-the-top romantic and flirting with her, etc., etc., and then the night before he shipped out again they went and literally rolled in the hay in some barn. He left and forgot all about her until she started writing him letters a few months later, which made him feel really guilty because she obviously thought he was coming back and he was definitely not.

After eventually getting over that mountain of guilt he decided he was going to stick with brothels and paying for it until he was ready to actually try and woo someone properly. There was a whore in Spain, one in Capetown, and one in Mumbai over the next year and a half - two years ish. Which isn't that irregularly considering he'd be spending months at a time at sea with no women. =P

There was very nearly a fourth whore (and he would have kept on that way indefinitely) but while he was in the room with her getting to it (and rather toasted because what are port calls for if not for being drunk) one of his mates intervened and was like "Dude she's got the clap, four guys have already died sleeping with her, don't do it." Which affected him a lot because he was really close to death's door, as he saw it. So from then on out whores were a no-go for him because he just assumes they're all walking disease carriers ready to kill him.

And then I think a year or so later he would've met Vera, so he was quite content to wait and not die!

So Paul if you're keeping track, it's been a decade.
