Personality: He is a man who does what he needs to. He will acquiesce to black mail and extortion to avoid trouble. He feeds upon the attention of others.

History: He grew up in a lower middle class home, but living comfortably wasn't enough. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage.
