Quirks: - Every time he tells a story about how he got his scar, it's completely different. The real version of events is that he fell out of a tree while camping as a kid. He likes to make it sound a bit more hardcore than that.
- Loves spicy food, and experimental cooking. If it can be made, he's tried to make a spicy version of it (with varying degrees of success).
- His vision isn't so terrible as to require glasses often; he usually wears them because putting them on and taking them off and cleaning them and losing them is a good excuse to waste time. And they make him look smarter.
