Who is rudely brief, trimmed, put's on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?

[Baron]

Correct!

Who is rudely brief, trimmed, put's on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?

There is no doubt in my mind that this refers to

Spoiler

Curtshaved Transvestdrunk

[Haggis]

That character is going straight into my next game! But it's not correct.

Spoiler

Curtshaved Transvestdrunk

You do basically have the majority of the answer though.

CLUE:

The latter parts of the clue relate to the adventure game characters occupation... all is not what it seems, but he's okaaaaaay.

A wild guess...Does this have anything to do with:

Spoiler

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia?

Ahhhh I got it:

Spoiler

Curtis (the lumberjack from Broken Age)

[Haggis]

We have a winner! Good job.

And to break it down:

Spoiler

Who is rudely brief = curt is
trimmed = curtis
put's on women's clothing and hangs around in bars = his occupation as a lumberjack in Broken Age (lyrics from the Monty Python Lumberjack song)

Ahhhhh...I knew the "Curt" and lumberjack parts but could not figure out how the "is" related to "trimmed"....Very cyptic indeed!

Maybe:

Spoiler

Harry Potter?

Starry daughter - STD (herpes and gonorrhoea) = arry aughter
Two left-hand guns in the air = subtract "gu" = arry ahter
Meh...can't get much past that for the figuring so I think I'm wrong...

[close]

[Baron]

You think correctly... in that you are wrong. Partial success with the STDs, though.

Removing ALL the S&T&Ds leaves:
arry augher
Two left hand guns in the air... the only thing i can think of here is that the two rr's look like guns (not sure why left handed), flip them upside down into L's(??) leaving:
ally augher
There you have it - ally augher aka Alley Ogre, legendary adventure game based loosely on Shrek's big move to the city.

Ooo! Haggis, you are so close I'm surprised you can't smell it!  Your reasoning about letters is serendipitously partially correct.   Just remember, I have nothing against pirate interjections.

Left handed: ff... so:
Larry Laffer?

[Haggis]

Ingenious - like a beast with three backs we rode to victory... that's what I like to claim anyway.

Ooo! Haggis, you are so close I'm surprised you can't smell it!

I'm afraid my personal stench is too overwhelming.

[Baron]

Yes, AnasAbdin has clinched it.

Explanation:

Spoiler

Starry daughter - STDs = arry augher
If you make a gun with your left hand and hold it up in the air it makes an "L"
2 x L + arry augher = Larry Laugher
Larry Laugher = Larry Laffer
