Pablo Picasso – age 23. A seductive artist in the midst of his “Blue” period. Moody and brooding, but yearns for success. Passionate and temperamental. Any ethnicity.
Albert Einstein – age 25. A not-yet famous scientist currently working as a patent clerk. On the verge of publishing his theory of special relativity. Possesses the excitement and energy of a mad scientist. Any ethnicity.
Sagot– early 50s. Picasso’s art dealer. Vibrant and cunning, nattily dressed. Has a sharp wit that can come across as both warm and blunt. Any ethnicity.

Watson– late 30s to mid 50s. A classic Watson. Polite, reserved, and detail oriented. A genius of sorts who is always three steps ahead.
Dr. Evans – early 40s to late 50s. Silky and officious, he is the man in charge of an Asylum on an isolated island. No nonsense and intense, but with a gentleman’s demeanor.
