Jefferson Schaffer

Jefferson Schaffer, known to most simply as Mr. Schaffer, is a Swadian businessman and one of the two chairmen of Schaffer-Wills Transportation Incorporated, Swadia's leading transportation company. It is often said about Mr. Schaffer that he is "A businessman first and a human being second," and he does have a certain repuation for his thrift and money-centric ways.

Despite his wealth and status within Swadian society, Mr. Schaffer does not actively carry a rapier, but does apparently possess one and is able to duel adequately. He has, however, been known to use his cane to defend himself which features a unique sword-like handle for easy use in combat.

The Aerodrome
Jefferson Schaffer was first encountered by Benedict and Mikas aboard one of his express steamtrains from Idahen Central to the Idahen Aerodrome. When the train was overrun by bandits, Mr.Schaffer detained one of the attackers with his cane, whilst Benedict and Mikas dealt with the others. After rewarding the two with 100p each and a free ticket to Briston aboard his company's airship, the pair once again encountered him aboard said airship were he engaged them in wine and conversation (although their refusal to drink left Mr. Schaffer with no choice but to have all 3 wine glasses.) This is also when he met Yuna Maston, the chief engineer of the ship.

The Junglands
After being injured in the ensuing crash, Mr. Schaffer accompanied the group, which now included Janice Penn and General Deon Carter.
