Mr.Briley, Chief, Glanville,or the Oldman...
Appearance
Glanville Briley is an old man. When and if people are concious of him at all, which is rare, their default memory of him is as a old man - no details stand out - just your average old Codger.
Whether he is drinking a pint of bitter at the corner pub, taking a constitutional along a quiet country lane, or walking the halls of academia or business he just quietly blends into the background.
For the more astute observer the Oldman does have a few recognizable traits. For one thing he is a serious smoker and when encountered is usually haloed by a cloud of cigarette smoke. For another he almost exclusively wears brown tweed suits, well cut, clean and in good repair but always some shade of brown.
In all other respects Glanville could be someone's kindly grandfather, a bachelor uncle, a local don of academia, or some such. Ultimately most people forget about him the moment they look away which is exactly as the Oldman would have it.
Behavior
Long before he meets someone for the first time Glanville simply observes them from a distance. Given the time he slowly moves closer and at a time of his choosing starts a conversation.
First impressions of the Oldman are pleasant, he is polite, affable, and honestly inquires as to the health and happiness of those with whom he converses.
If a conversation with Glanville persists the other party usually finds themselves discussing details of their lives that are private, personal or even secret.
Over the course of an evening spent with the Oldman a person could confess to things they would not share with their closest friend or relative, and by the end of that evening they would know next to nothing about their interlocutor.
There are two reasons for this, the first is that people like to talk about themselves and Glanville has a gift for listening to people. The second reason is that the Oldman has a aura of quiet authority that asserts itself sooner or later with everyone, in every situation, eventually.
History
Glanville Briley began life as the indigent child of a East End laborers and through dilligence, hardwork and a fair amount of skullduggery he mannaged to work his way into first Cambridge and then to gain a officer's position in the British navy.
