Idiosyncratic and somewhat eccentric, Greg, the "scurvy Haggis," is one of a kind. He's amiable, kind, and good natured, but because he's quiet and tends to keep to himself, in a group he usually gets overlooked. When the comic starts, he had been working as a piano teacher, and Izzy had to try hard to persuade him to join the band for the duration of the contest. He's a natural teacher, patient and good with children, and he'd be perfectly happy never being a rock star.

Scurvy can be very funny in an understated, subtle way-- a sense of humor that usually goes over the heads of people like his brother and Izzy. He likes wordplay and puns, and he has a soft, low voice and a gentle laugh.

He's smart but dreamy, disorganized, and absent-minded; he easily gets absorbed in whatever he's currently studying, reading, creating, or obsessing over, and can lose track of anything else, including the time. His brother Kay ("Haggis") is reminding him to do important things like eat probably as often as Scurvy is calming his brother down or dragging him out of trouble.

He bites his nails, though he tries to remember not to.

Scurvy has an odd sense of style and mixes and (mis-)matches weird thrift store finds-- though in fashion, he edges a little bit mod to his brother's rocker. Some of his favorite items are a blue military/marching band jacket, 3d glasses, and a red "mood ring" dog collar. He wears what he likes, whether it "makes sense" together or not, and he's not worried what anyone else thinks of him.

He looks basically the same in features as his twin, with an angular face, brown eyes, and a long but unbroken nose and choppy, chin-length black hair. Like his brother, he's tallish, but skinnier than him. Nearsighted, he wears glasses, and he takes them off when he's tired of seeing.

He's ambidextrous.

He reads constantly (anything and everything, literally anything, crap from the trash) and is especially interested in foreign languages, biographies, and poetry. The apartment he shares with his brother is overflowing with piles, shelves and filing cabinets of books, but he's not an intellectual; he just loves to read.

He finds new obsessions all the time, but some of his constants are the Who and the Kinks, chess, Ghostbusters, and '80s movies and culture in general. He can and will quote the entire Ghostbusters script in his sleep, to his brother (his roommate)'s great dismay.

He loves coffee and the smell of old books, and he loves the hammock nest he set up in their practice space like a forest animal.

He owns a late-'80s woody Plymouth Voyager minivan the band uses to transport their gear.

Scurvy's favorite band is The Who, and he's really into The Kinks and other British bands of the '70s, as well as storytellers and piano idols like Billy Joel and Elton John. The Wurlitzer electric piano is his favorite sound and he loves bands like Supertramp that used it well.

He has a good ear and is adamant about obscure, odd albums that are technically great to him, and he spends time trading rarities on message boards.

He's a very good pianist and his strength is composing songs, which is why Izzy wanted him to join the band so badly. He's often working on something or other, whether with his brother or the others or alone. He loves teaching, but his ideal job would probably be to write songs for other people; he's never really thought about performing, but he's curious how this will go.

His red Wurlitzer 200A synth organ is his baby. He rescued it from the trash, rehabbed and basically rebuilt it, but he loves weird synths and bits of equipment and finds strange effects pedals for his brother.
