arthur hensford - an international detective during world war ii, arthur hensford, better known as mr. articulate, was known for his chivalry, wit, elegant manerisms, and his signature sword-cane and blue rose corsages. he visited sheriff lindo during her stay in the hospital and gave her small trinkets from his world traveling days, which eventually led her to reveal that he wasn't gay, as many of the townsfolk thought due to his nature, and even going so far as to quietly provide money for leona terrell to have an abortion. however, after his death, the tattler implied a past relationship with midnighter, an openly gay superhero. after his autopsy, it was revealed that mr. articulate was in the final stages of cancer and had he not been murdered, he would have had a month to live, at most.
