Cottonbottom family

In a flashback to years before, Sylvester Cross sits overlooking the Bavarian countryside by the castle at Rickenbunny Falls when a voice from the shadows greets him MM E3·00:03:27 MM E3·00:03:51. Brennan describes the speaker as a snow-white rabbit with a pipe, and Sylvester names him Cottonbottom MM E3·00:04:00 MM E3·00:04:23. Cottonbottom says the castle came into the possession of the Cottonbottom family within the last quarter of a century MM E3·00:04:26. He says his plans to move the munitions out of the castle weren't in time MM E3·00:05:21. He speaks of "My family's name, our reputation, the memory of my late father" and tells Sylvester "You worked for us!" MM E3·00:06:34.

Grant says Fletcher Cottonbottom is the son of Sylvester's former employer, Lord Ignatius Cottonbottom, head of the British Museum, who faked his own death with tinctures from America MM E1·00:32:05. Brennan tells Gangie that twenty years earlier the Cottonbottoms were a well-respected family, that Sir Ignatius was knighted and was a benefactor of the British Museum, and that the family still engaged in criminal enterprises, including an insurance fraud foiled by a young Sylvester Cross MM E4·00:05:08. After the family was disgraced, Brennan says, Fletcher became a high-society figure with blackmail material and family wealth who could no longer be seen in public MM E4·00:06:13. In the Bavaria flashback the family owns the castle at Rickenbunny Falls, and Cottonbottom says his plans to move munitions out of it were too late MM E3·00:04:26 MM E3·00:05:21. Mr. Gilfoyle says Gangie Green once worked for Fletcher Cottonbottom MM E3·01:32:59.

In MM_06 Daisy tells the room "Fletcher Cottonbottom has been alive this entire time." MM E6·01:20:12. In MM_10 Brennan's recap names him "Lawrence Longfoot, AKA Fletcher Cottonbottom" and Brennan says Daisy has killed him MM E10·01:35:13 MM E10·02:11:45.
