A statue of Walter Fairfax, presumably an ancestor of Pocket, can be found in the garden behind the [[Baroness Hotel]]. Walter is depicted as an old man with frogs crawling over his legs. The statue also appears in Pocket's background in the hero select screen. | A statue of Walter Fairfax, presumably an ancestor of Pocket, can be found in the garden behind the [[Baroness Hotel]].
