Name:
Benjamin Barker is his real name..
but he goes by Todd now.
Sweeney Todd.
Age:
Thirty seven
Although he looks older
But then again, he is only a half-crazed barber.
Gender:
male
Height:
5’7
Weight:
151 lbs
Appearance:
This is a man out for a vengeance. His wife, daughter, and life were taken to him, and he has sworn revenge. But, apart from his murderous habits, he’s actually a quite fun-loving guy. He dances and laughs and jokes with Mrs. Lovett, plots with a young man to rescue his daughter from an asylum, and is the best barber in all of London. Really, he is. He can guarantee the closest shave anyone will ever get. Besides that, he shows true dedication to his family and never breaks a promise. He definitely is, however, insane. That one is a given. However, he was quite sane before he was shipped off to a penal colony from his home in London to Australia. But we can always blame the not-so-honorable Judge Turpin for that.
Personality:
Pale, white skin; dark, hollow, piercing eyes; long, raven hair, streaked with white; and a calloused soul: that is Mister Sweeney Todd.
And, okay, well.. Sweeney isn’t exactly the finest dressed man on the street. He wears, normally, rather plain tight slacks, usually grey, dark blue, or black, and a white or grey long sleeved shirt underneath a buttoned vest, usually black, grey, or brown. As for shoes, his are plain unnoticeable shoes, not fancy, not drab. He wears a black and white long, thin, scarf around his neck that he tucks into his vest, and practically always has on. On his hands he has a pair of grey fingerless gloves, as London tends to be rather cold.
Wealth Status:
lower-middle class
Occupation:
Murderous barber out for revenge against the man who stole everything from him
Personal Posessions:
-his razors
-picture of Lucy and baby Johanna
-Mrs. Lovett’s cleavage

Mrs. Lovett.
Jkjkjk. No.
Actually,
Tobias
Family:
Wife- Lucy. Status: insane beggar woman.
Daughter- Johanna. Status: Judge Turpin’s ward, Anthony’s fiancée.
History:
What happened to the youth Benjamin Barker is uninteresting, and very non-important. But what happened to grown Benjamin Barker, well, that is interesting, and very important.
Benjamin Barker, a barber in London, married a beautiful woman named Lucy. Not too long after she gave birth to their daughter Johanna, Judge Turpin, along with his assistant the Beadle, sentenced Barker to 15 years in a penal colony in Australia on fraudulent charges, only because he wanted Lucy for his own. After Barkers departure, the Judge invited Lucy to a party, where he then raped her. Distraught, the woman took arsenic in an attempt to kill herself, but failed. However, Todd does not know about this . In the mean time, the Judge took Johanna as his ward to care for her as his own daughter, but really just making her a prisoner in his own home.
After 15 years being held in Australia, Barker escapes on a feeble raft, where he is found by a sailor by the name of Anthony Hope aboard a ship sailing for London. Rescuing Barker, who has now changed his name to Sweeney Todd, Anthony and Todd become somewhat friends throughout the voyage, and depart their own ways once they reach London- only to meet again soon later.
Todd returns to the place where he used to live, the apartment above Mrs. Nellie (actually Sarah Helen) Lovett’s Meat Pie shop. Lovett soon recognizes Todd, however, and returns to him his razor blades used for shaving, and explains to him what has happened to his wife and daughter. She happens to leave out, however, that Lucy is still alive. Todd, furious, vows to kill Judge Turpin and the Beadle in revenge for them ruining his life. Todd returns to living in the apartment above the shop, also using it for a place to run his barber business.
