Personality: He cares much about the opinion of others, both in good and in bad: when keeping in line with his opinion, he thinks highly of the other person, but when opinions clash, he can get violently argumentative. He is cautious and jumpy. He reacts to every sound and lacks any concept of subtlety.

History: His martial talent manifested at a young age. Aiming to upstage a rival house, his parents had him trained. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Barakas grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Barakas. Recently he has begun working with bootleggers and crooks.

Personality: Fax hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate him. It was this clingy personality that held back his music career. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Fax is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was born in the west, but his parents moved at a very young age to the south. In his youth he was part of a gang. He got caught, but did not rat out his comrades and served his time in prison. Being a Barber kept his interest for a while, but then he became depressed and bored.

Motivation: He is a bit of a kleptomaniac.
