Daniel Skipton is a Pioneer in Art. He's also a rogue who hasn't done an honest day's work in his life. Instead, he bullies support out of aging relatives he's never met and harangues his publisher for advances on non-existent projects. The world owes Skipton a living, but it doesn't want to pay up.
