How the hell did Rit-chan manage to snag Brador for his merry band of misfits and ne'er-do-wells?

It's King Hassan in costume, I think.

but where he got the bloodletter from?

I'd bet from Da Vinci
or King Hassan is also a skilled craftsman and made it himself

OR he killed Brador himself for having the audacity to use the sinister resonant bell on him.

Also, I like how there's currently only two pictures here of Brador, and both are just Gramps dressed as him.
