Erastus Hicks has a role in All to Pieces--although he doesn't appear until later in the book.
As with each character, I draw inspiration as I write from an image of someone who looks more or less the way I imagine the character to look. Here is the photograph I've been using as a likeness for Erastus. This man may be somewhat younger than you expected. Bear in mind that his perceived age in Unmentionables was colored by the perspective of the very young Cato.
In All to Pieces, Erastus undergoes a great challenge--one that tests the meaning of his life.
