Our world is the Grim World, the alternate world is the Fair world (where once our fairy tales came from); in this Fair world magic still exist, as do non-humans. Doctor Desmond MeqqRee runs the Sidhe Foundations, and his friends call him Doc. He designs building and bridges, and fights crime with his aides. He is the Fair world’s Doc Savage; in this case he’s Doc Sidhe (pronounced Doc She).

         Doc is tall, broad shouldered, lean, and moves with the grace of a dancer. He wore loose-fitting dark slacks tucked into high leather boots, and bundled into a waist-length yellow leather coat over a white shirt. His shoulder-length hair is pure white. He has pointed ears. He is, of course, the universe’s greatest champion of justice and thwarter of evildoers.

         Ixyail del Valle: Ish is Doc’s lover. She’s small and panther-ish, with South American looks.

Harris Greene is a kick boxer, trained in tae kwon do. The night he loses his latest fight his manager drops him, then his girlfriend Gaby Donohue dumps him. He gets drunk and goes to make up with her, when he sees men abducting her. He follows and attacks the men giving Gaby time to escape, and then he finds himself in an alternate world.

Zeb Watson is black, an expert in martial arts, and trainer for kick boxers. He joins Doc Sidhe’s aides in the second story.

Gaby Donohue is gifted, and Duncan Blackletter wants to study her. He needs to take her to the Fair world to do that. But then Harris Greene and his new friend, Doc shows up to rescue her again, and she ends up in the Fair world where strangely she feels at home.

Jean-Pierre Lamignac is an elf prince turned mercenary, and aide of Doc Sidhe.

Noriko Nomura is a master of martial arts, and aide of Doc Sidhe.

Doctor Alastair Kornbock, though elderly, is a surgical wizard and world-class marksman, and aide of Doc Sidhe.

There had been other aides, but they perished in previous battles. Some had died at the hands of Joseph, the unfinished clay man. But now Joseph works with Doc Sidhe to right wrongs.
