a well read man. He has dedicated his life to books. Reading mostly the poets of the beat generation and the Golden Age, with a few outliers of Russian literature. As a young man he found it difficult to interact with others. He was thinking about what others weren’t. At some point he forgot to live a life of his own; his only stories to tell being those already told by others. His relationship with his family is distant. His relationship with his friends is distant. And his relationship with women is purely superficial. He has lost all hope of ever finding love, so he enjoys the fleeting encounters he has. No one really knows what he does for a living, he just appears as quickly as he disappears.
