What do you do at the turn of the 20th century when you are a relatively able bodied man but is missing your legs? There are not many doors that will open for you. Often the future is not that bright. But the lucky few were able to parlay their disablilty into a profession. One of those lucky few was a man named Alba Root. See he was missing both his legs and one trick he did was ride his bike and take his legs off.
Seems harmless enough. Nothing to cause any nightmares. Just a man riding a bike with artificial limbs. Any time after a war that is not too uncommon of a sight. Part of the tragedy of war is that sometimes people loose their limbs. Once recoverd they often will want to return their life as much as they can to normal, and riding a bike is normal. So where is this going?
Well bike riding was not his only performance. See he also dressed up as a robot/android. And not Bender or C3P0 looking kind. The kind that looks human but something is off. And since its vaudville time... something was off with the look. So here are some images of Enigmarelle
