Physical Appearance
Shelmlock Dolmes is an older slouched Tortle with a faded green shell and saggy scaled skin. He is never seen without his iconic brown fedora and his notepad which he uses to jot down his observations of the world.

Personality
Shelmlock is quiet, observant, and endlessly curious. When he catches whiff of a good story, he is unending in his pursuit to track it down and put words to paper. It is these aspects that have led him to become the awarded reporter he is, and the renouned detective he is regarded as.
History
Shelmlock Dolmes grew up as a young hatchling in the bustling streets of the City of Galik. Even then he was curious and adventurous. After receiving his education he vowed to travel the continent to see its many sights. But his home would always be calling out to him and eventually he was drawn back to the city. He got a job as a simple reporter and settled down, even getting married. e eventually decided to retire and settle down, deciding to let go of pursueing the story of the Haragon crimelord Jellenot Lightfoot.
This would be a decision he would come to regret as a shootout between Jellenot Lightfoot's men and another gang would have his wife caught in the crossfire. Shelmlock Dolmes would pick back up the pen and paper and swear revenge on Jellenot Lightfoot. Shelmlock eventually trac ked down the Haragon criminal and gathered enough evidence so that the city of Galik was able to sentence Jellenot Lightfoot to life in prison, sending the crimelord away for good. Even after Jellenot Lightfoot was locked away, Shelmlock continued his work as a reporter, knowing that if he didn't tell the story, one one else would, and it could lead to others getting hurt.
He continues to work for the Galik Herald in his old age and has been known to hire freelancers to assist in his work to tell the next great story.
