The man himself, Leben Norrie, is our Investigator, otherwise formally known as, Gilmore Salmon.

A man who certainly doesn’t shy away from costumes and dressing up, Leben’s favorite line as the Investigator is: "In certain circles I would be considered quite fashionable.”

When it comes to his favorite moment in the play, Leben really enjoys his interaction with the Bellhops while they are on their break, but an extremely close second is hurling mixed insults at the author. A man of many emotions.

While reflecting on what kind of hotel is best suited for the Investigator, Leben arrives at the conclusion that a seedy run down motel you pay for by the hour would be what suits Gilmore Salmon the most. Mainly because the character seems to be leaning pretty heavy into the whole Private Eye/Gumshoe fantasy.

When asked about what Mr. Salmon’s erotic novel would be called, he reports that Fragrance of Daisy would be his masterpiece and it would be inspired by chance romances in the above mentioned by-the-hour-motel.

Although the Investigator may only be at the Hollydae’In to carry out his plan, he’d still rate the place 5 stars because it looks like it really needs the business and he may have caused quite a bit of hassle while he was there. It’s the least he could do.
