I can't believe no one has mentioned "The Mayor", Troy's resident drunken Frankenstein by night, bridge builder by day, or so they say. If you don't know who he is, and all Troy residents know who he is, you'd come pretty close to crapping your pants if you crossed paths with him on your drunken end of night walk home.
