The Topsy King, whose given name is Tristram Bagley, used to be a court composer, scholar, and violinist for the Empress. He wrote part of an amazingly scandalous [[Correspondence]]-laden opera called "The Bell and the Candle." But before he could finish it, he bet his sanity in the card game called the Marvellous and lost, and that's why nobody can understand a thing he says. The opera is now a key to his sanity; seeing it performed restores him to his old self for a week or two before he breaks down again. | The Topsy King, whose given name is Tristram Bagley, used to be a court composer, scholar, and violinist for the Empress.
