LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW

B A S I C I N F O

★ NAME: Penthus Hermes Thatcher
★ NICKNAME: 'Hermes' by his father. 'Pent' by the occasional lazy person.
★ MEMBER GROUP: Epispect.
★ POKEMON: Honchkrow Gijinka
★ AGE: Twenty-Five
★ HEIGHT: 5'10"
★ WEIGHT: 140lb
★ FACE CLAIM: Sherlock Holmes from Sherlock BBC (Fanart)
★ APPEARANCE:

Penthus is best described as 'lanky'. He's not excessively tall, but he is taller then average, and on the thin side. He's certainly not muscular by any means, and makes no real effort to work out or improve himself in that way. He eats a regular amount, avoids sweets like the plague, and rarely gains weight. He is relatively active, going on long walks through the city as part of his job, so his legs, at least, are good. His hair is wavy and kept around his ears, and most people would assume his hair is black. In truth, it's not - but a rather dark blue, which is only really obvious if the lighting is good. His eyes are a rather stunning blue, and particularly piercing. Most would consider his eyes his best feature.

★ HABITS, QUIRKS:

• Penthus is a habitual player of the violin. This is not, as some might assume, because he was made to do so as a child, but simply because he actually enjoys the instrument. For Penthus, the violin has always been associated with genius, after all.
  
• Penthus's first name is the ancient greek personification of grief. Despite this, he has no real issues with his first name, even if his father does. His father always calls him 'Hermes', his middle name, but that's the only one.
  
• Despite his extreme dislike for his own appearance, Penthus spends a rather large amount of time tending to himself regardless. His hair, despite looking like he just rolled out of bed, is supposed to look that way, and he spends far too much time making it look identical to the previous day. This is the only real 'issue' with his Honchkrow DNA, and it's more of a compulsion then anything else. Even knowing that it's stupid, he's unable to stop.
  
• Penthus is rather obsessed with technology. He always has the latest gadgets, even if he only got his last phone a month ago. He's also a huge fan of disposable phones, single use burners to avoid anything being traced back to him. A large part of his room is dominated by a touchscreen display, which he air-conducts into to compose music for his violin.
  

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:

Penthus is not a particularly nice person, by any stretch of the imagination. His social skills, in private, are largely disregarded, in favor of being blunt and honest. He'll flat out tell you what he expects, what he wants, and why you'll do it, simply as that. He does actually posses social skills, and uses them on occasion in public, but to those who most would consider 'friends' (Penthus does no such thing), he's almost downright rude. He never actually curses, considering such things vulgar, and opts to simply hit people with those truths they don't want to know. A large part of his trade means that finding out secrets is instinct for him, and he has no real qualms about using peoples secrets against them.

That's not to say he's all bad. Penthus is an extremely attentive person. He's intelligent and observant, always seeking out the latest bit of information. Often times, information he gathers simply sits, untouched. A large part of it for Penthus is the challenge - seeking out the next bit of information that no one wants him to know. That's not to say he's out looking for trouble - quite the opposite. He likes to avoid trouble, if at all possible, and any time he gets caught, he inevitably ends up fleeing as fast as he can. Straight combat isn't his forte, and he'll avoid it to the bitter end.

H I S T O R Y

• Penthus was born to two upper-middle class parents. They were by no means wealthy, but certainly well off - capable of living comfortably. His mother, however, died of the virus shortly after giving birth to him, and his father, in his grief, named his only son 'Penthus', after the Greek personification of grief. It was a fitting name, even if his father grew to regret it. Despite his bad choice in naming, Penthus's father was rather kind, and took good care of his son, despite his loss.
  
• Penthus excellent in school, if not in social activity. Despite having all the necessary skills to socialize properly, Penthus simply had no real interest in it. Other people, he found, were boring, and there were always better things to do. He buried himself in almost every possible hobby there was, eager to try them out, even if he disregarded the majority of them after gaining a decent amount of skill in each. Only a few carried onward - music, reading, and general investigation. Managing networks of people was another hobby he picked up in school days, and he amused himself by digging up people's secrets, even if there was minimal challenge in school.
  
• Despite his intellect, Penthus had no real interest in an 'average' degree. Math was boring, science obnoxious, and nothing seemed to fit. Inevitably, he took a major in string instruments, specializing in violin, and ended up with a minor in business to please his father. He graduated top of his class, a master of the instrument, and with a fairly competent idea of how to run a business.
  
• With a degree in Violin, Penthus's life took a painful turn, coming down with the virus. With more then enough money, Penthus could have easily gone to Epispect for his treatment. Instead, he opted to do something a bit more cunning. With his illness obvious, he disguised himself and set out to locate an illegal clinic that would treat him. He found not only one, but several - and made easy notes about all of them, coming on as a prospective client, who was unfortunately unable to pay the prices required. With his information collected, he went to Epispect itself, getting his own treatment in the form of Honchkrow DNA.
  
• From there, he made his pitch to Epispect - with the information he gathered as an example of his own skill, he explained exactly what a 'spymaster' could do for Epispect. Company officials would never be able to gather information as efficiently as an outside contractor, and having informants reporting straight to Epispect would only lead to further trouble. The pitch was accepted, and he took the contract quickly enough. Informants now reported to him, allowing him to compile data on illegals, gather tips, and report it all back to Epispect quickly and efficiently.
  
• As the head of Epispect's spy ring, he largely keeps to himself. He hides away in a rather modest apartment, playing violin. On occasion, he opts to go out, collecting information from his informants, and scouting illegals himself. He has no real sympathy for their plight - knowing well enough that the majority of them are only wanting it for power. He's slightly sympathetic if he knows you had the virus, but not enough to stop him from turning you in.
