Association with The Wiggles
|
| Amy Mercer in year 323 |
Of the many notable acquaintances Captain Mercer made over the years, perhaps the most troublesome were a band of adventurers known as The Wiggles. Mercer could often be heard complaining about the trouble they had caused him, though when pressed he would describe them as a necessary nuisance. After the Wiggles permanently dissolved in 309, he married one of their previous members, Amy.
