Flaversham

Hiram Flaversham is a character in The Great Mouse Detective. He is the father of Olivia Flaversham and said to be the best toymaker in all of London, his speciality being clockwork toys.

Role in the film
Hiram is kidnapped by Fidget in the early minutes of the movie, to create the clockwork Mouse Queen for Professor Ratigan. Though he starts the project, he is horrified by the whole idea and suddenly refuses to help Ratigan, no matter what - even though he knows he may lose his life. But when Ratigan threatens his daughter, he is forced to return to the task.

Hiram successfully creates the clockwork Mouse Queen in time, and is held at gunpoint to operate it.
