But working for the Triad changed everything.  First as a messenger, then as muscle, eventually as a courier, Tip found that the relatively easy money and access to the finer things in life appealed more than any sort of continuing scholastic venture.  So after graduating high school, he devoted himself entirely to working his way up the ranks of the Gateway Triad.  Much to his surprise, the higher he went the more he realized that his lack of education was limiting his options.  So he returned to the world of acadamia and spent several years earning a general business degree and then a masters of Accountancy to better track the money in deals he was responsible for.  His meticulous eye for detail and willingness to accept blame if something went wrong on his watch along with his proven loyalty eventually landed him near the illustrious Mr Kwan himself, and Tip has been very careful to ensure he stays there.<br/><strong>Physical Description</strong>:  6'5, 280 lbs.  Typically in jeans and a loose, comfortable top if not working, dressed in custom-tailored suits if attending to business.<br/><br/></span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Tips personal car</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://ninjaweazel.wikispaces.com/file/view/DriveVette.jpg/349718568/DriveVette.jpg) </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Tips working ride</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://ninjaweazel.wikispaces.com/file/view/RaceVette.jpg/349718584/RaceVette.jpg) <br/>I imagine the 2012 Vette probably has had the body panels reinforced and the windows replaced with bulletproof glass if Tip is Mr Kwan's personal driver.<br/></div></div>
