"Well good day to all you fine ladies and gentlemon! And what a day it is! Why, today is your lucky day! Why, you might ask? Because just for today, just for a limited time only, I am offering you the opportunity, nay, the privilege, of sampling Professor Harvey H. Hopkin's Patented Nerve and Muscle tonic, a remarkable restorative regarded from the exotic shores of Iapon to the rugged crags of Geoda!

Guaranteed to conquer coughs and colds, banish bronchitis, wage war on warts, and relieves rigors! Harvey H. Hopkin's Patented Nerve and Muscle tonic provides rapid relief from toothache, headache, backache and stomach-ache, removes unwanted hair, restores good health and vigour, cures baldness, and eases rheumatism, ergotism, exhibitionism and antidistablismentarianism! Why, on my travels, I gave a spoonful to a young Shuppet - not only did it cure his cough, in a matter of minutes, this incredible elixir had restored him to life as well!

And what, ladies and gentlemon, would you expect to pay for this bottled miracle, this fabled elixir, this remarkable tonic used in the courts of Emperors and castles of Kings? Fifty Star Coins? Thirty Star Coins? Surely, the medical miracle must cost twenty Star Coins? Wrong and wrong again! Why today, just for today, Professor Harvey H. Hopkin's Patented Nerve and Muscle Tonic can be yours for only 5 Star Coins!"

Travelling through pockets in the fog, touring the small backwater towns of Parai, "Professor" Harvey H. Hopkins ekes out his living selling his "Patented Nerve and Muscle Tonic", then getting the hell out of town before the locals realise he's just sold them surplus bottles of expired salad-dressing. His Cute Charm ability takes the form, not of romantic attraction, but of a general aura of trustworthiness, helping to enhance his patter.

During one of the many, many times he was run out of town by angry townsfolk filled with rancid honey ‘n mustard vinaigrette, he took shelter in a small cave in the hills…an idea he was immensely proud of right up to the point where he tried to find his way out again. Wandering blindly for days, cold, wet, terrified, and forced to drink his own spoiled salad cream to survive, he eventually stumbled across the territory of a Sableye named Beryl. Taking pity on the blind, wet furry thing blundering around her cave, she led him to water, then led him to the surface. Their encounter was brief, lasting only a few days, but it was long enough.

Two weeks later, Beryl realized that it was, in fact, possible for two different species to produce an egg together.

Four months later, Cobalt hatched out.

Harvey has no idea that he has a son, and has gone back to wandering Parai and selling his wares. Cobalt doesn’t even know what species his father is – all his mum ever told him was “He was some great big hairy thing. I thought you were gonna be born a mutant.”
