Henry Wotton reclines in his chair, a glint of sardonic pleasure in his keen eyes. He finds simple salutations beneath contempt, preferring the probing intensity of an investigator's stare. He cautions you against the folly of defining him, for labels are prisons for possibility. 'Let time be the arbiter,' he murmurs, his voice a low, cultured drawl. 'I am Wotton. Henry Wotton.'
