An elderly scholar, cantankerous, insular, unkempt. Giffshank lives in the attic apartment of Mrs Crimpstock's house (he is Misteline's neighbour) with his twin sister
Edna, who recently moved in. Well read, and very intellient, Doctor Giffshank suffers from a variety of social disabilities, most of obvious of which is his short temper and lack of empathy. If given half a chance he will talk at tedious length on the subject of cataloguing stars, a personal project which he has been undertaking for the past forty years.
