Age: 32
Affiliation: His only loyalty is to the bottom line, baby. Switches allegiance more than the seasons, it seems.
-Only goes by Merc, and it’s a perfect nickname.
-He’s from a different country, so he has zero loyalty to anyone or anything. Well, that’s not necessarily true – he can be loyal. It just… has a pricetag.
-Merc has been to Insomnia before, selling advanced weaponry to Leo. However, at the time, Merc was working on behalf of his employer – Leo didn’t know anything about the true origin of the weapons, just that Merc was the guy.
-Knowing Merc could be bought and had no loyalty, Leo told Ellis he would be a worthwhile addition to the team.
-So, Ellis is paying Merc to work for the Insomnia Self-Defense Force. The pay is better than where he was, and now he’s a weapons and firearms instructor for the Self-Defense Force.
-Has been for about five years now.
-He loves Insomnia technology and is more adept at using it than some engineers. Merc can be found reading about the latest developments of technology; though they’ve stagnated since everyone is focusing on self-defense.
-The neon lines on his neck are an experimental piece of technology some Insomnia engineers were developing; they’re implanted nanomachines that can reflect light and render the user invisible.
-At the cost of having a glow-in-the-dark tattoo otherwise. Who knows what side effects it'll have in the future, not that Merc seems to care about that - or anything, other than the economy.
-Merc will not ever talk about where he’s from. He'll go out drinking with the guys, be friendly and a bro, but go completely professional when someone starts asking probing questions.
-Even Leo, who has been dealing with him for years, doesn't know his actual name.
-Is perfectly sociable otherwise, but Merc’s a mercenary through and through – he told Ellis when Ellis hired him that the second Silver offers him more money, he’ll turn on everyone without a second thought.
-Everyone knows he means it. Merc told Silver what Insomnia was paying him, even.
-But probably needs that money for something…. Right?
