Renard something or other; his aide was the person Owen was based on.
Yes! Reynard I believe was the spelling though last name still escapes me. He was a genius rich with ultra tech, even had his own version of a 'helicarrier'.
I think it was his ability with technology is why Titania first made her mortal disguise and approached him so she could learn this new age's tech that so advanced it seemed like magic.
oh yes, you're right Ubiq! Reynard's aide was a real stiff type: mega-self-control, no nonsense and no humor and very helpful. Puck based the personality of Owen on the guy, seeing it as a challenge for the happy-go-lucky prankster to play the ultimate stick in the mud.
