I will answer to the best of my ability.

After careful analysis, I have concluded that it is a mechanical contraption on
his back.

Then again, it doesn't say that they don't.  Individual preference, I'd guess.

After careful analysis, I have concluded... oh, never mind.

Given what the Marshall's section in the Wasted West book says about Europe, if
somebody wants to launch an expedition across the Atlantic to the British
Museum, tell them I'll remember them fondly.  I'm guessing most of the axes
youre going to find in North America are going to be scavenged from Martial Arts
shops or Renaissance Festivals, and thus aren't very likely to be relics.

This isn't for a player, is it?  I haven't read on the Anti-templars, but I
don't think I'd allow one.  One of the things I particularly like about HoE is
that the players are basically compelled toward the good, considering WHAT the
evil out there is.  I've wanted, for the longest time, to tell an epic story of
Good versus Evil, but the best I was able to get from my players before was
"Not-so-much-as versus Evil."
