Blake<br/><br/>Age: 30<br/>Height: 5’10”<br/>Weight: Average<br/>Build: Athletic<br/>Eyes: Pale blue<br/>Hair: Black, collar length, generally cut short and tidy. Close trimmed goatee beard and moustace.<br/><br/>Typical Clothing: Dark, generally close fitting, and cut for ease of movement. A long dark leather trenchcoat will often be worn also.<br/><br/>Friends: None known.<br/><br/>Attitude: The typical ice-man.<br/><br/>Skills: Wide variety of combat skills; guns, knives, unarmed.  Assorted criminal contacts, some larceny skills (picking locks, defeating security systems, creating fake IDs etc)<br/><br/>History: Unknown to the other players:<br/><br/>Blake is an assassin, and a good one. He was hired to eliminate an individual and recover certain items from the scene. The individual in question happened to be in the middle of some kind of ritual when Blake stopped by, and he found himself in the middle of all kinds of freaky weirdness. Thankfully, the cultists seemed to react badly to having assorted holes made in them, the ritual was disrupted, and he got out of there.<br/><br/>When he got back with the items, the remainder of his payment wasn't there, but a hit team was. Unfortunately, they weren't quite as good as they thought they were, and Blake's now in a world he doesn't quite understand, and one that has a fairly steep learning curve. He's thrown himself into occult studies, not so much learning how to do them as learning how to stop them, how to protect himself, and how he can stop/kill whatever gets sent against him.<br/><br/>The Mr Johnson that hired him is still out there. Blake doesn't like loose ends, and he doesn't like there being things out there that he may not be able to deal with, hence he wants to learn more. If that means hanging around with the others, and keeping them alive long enough to teach him, fair enough.<br/><br/>Known to the other players:<br/>I figure they were investigating something that went pear shaped, and Blake came in, turning the place into a passible John Woo scene. When the bodies stopped twitching, the others got the "Come with me if you want to live" line. Not wanting to annoy the nice man with more firepower than some small African countries, they went, and the rest, as they say, is history  :D
