Stephen Marley (in-universe)

You may be looking for his real world counterpart.

Stephen Marley was an individual who came into existence fully formed from the head of Zeus in Walsall in 1813. He was one of the founders of the Rapscallion Club, but after being implicated in a scandal, he was transported to Van Diemen's Land. Years later, he became an inventor, and he moved to New York. While no photographs of him existed, one group claimed to have taken an photograph of Stephen's animal soul thirteen years before his death in 1967.

There were rumours that Stephen wrote the story All the Fun of the Fear, but there was no evidence to support that he had written the story or even written a single line of fiction in his life. The actual author was more likely to be thirteen-year-old Gladys Trubshaw. (PROSE: Contributors)
