Monsieur Peter Barbiaux

Monsieur Peter Barbiaux has been chosen by the Wulfenbach Empire as a benchmark to show the passage of time. There is a piece of paper with his name and some notes written on it clipped to his greatcoat. He was dropping a cup when the Take-Five Bomb went off. There is a surveyor's range pole set up to show where the cup was when he was found by the Wulfenbach Time Research Team. Presumably the change in the location of the cup gives this team some idea of how fast time is passing in the frozen city of Mechanicsburg.
