Roland ter Borcht

Roland ter Borcht was a minor villain in the third book. His backstory was teased on the blog before the release of that book in a series of posts.

"And...we're BACK." [30 October 2006].

In the meantime, I just checked the IP address of where hairy wolf-boy was "posting" from. ... It's registered to the "Itex Corp., LLC" & some guy whose name I can't pronounce cause it's all foreign-exotic-sounding & stuff.

"This guy!!" [31 October 2006]. (I think the missing image was this article, but I'm not absolutely certain.)

"Permission Slips and Field Trips." [6 November 2006].

Since [Nudge] took it upon herself to begin our little game of show-and-tell, I can share the rest of the printouts I found about "Dr. Soup," as Ig likes to call him. His name is just too darn tongue-tying to say more than once without seriously botching it up.

"More info on the 'Soup Doctor'" [6 November 2006]. This article.

"More secret stuff." [14 November 2006]. This email.

"A stinky situation" [20 November 2006]. One of the images was this article.

"Exhibit A: Weirdos-R-Us" [3 January 2007]. This business card.

"Exhibit B: Flying Soup!" [3 January 2007]. This ticket stub.

"Dear Fnick," [31 January 2007].

Now taking bets that Dr. Soup was at that hospital. Perhaps he was, I don't know, the German one who spat when he spoke. ...Or yelled. ...Or, just while standing still pondering the meaning of life.
