There was an interesting tale associated\nwith him that I thought relevant to the GW short story \"The Walking Sticks\".  It is said that he \"derived his power from his walking stick, topped by a carved human head, giving rise to later accounts that it had often been seen parading down the street in front of him.\"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Weir."
