Screwface
MinorThere's a feral edge to Screwface, like a mine rat who's learned to bite before being bitten, his twisted grin promising mischief or mayhem. He moves with the jittery energy of someone who's survived by being quicker and meaner than the rest. You can't help but wonder what scrapes have sharpened that cunning glint in his eye.
Screwface begins as an anonymous lowColor youth in the Institute's brutal crucible, quietly proving his mettle as a loyal shadow to Darrow's rising rebellion. By Morning Star he has fully integrated into the Howlers, his identity now synonymous with the elite strike force. In Dark Age he emerges as a master of counter-espionage, his aristocratic disguise and razor-sharp intellect making him an indispensable asset to Darrow's war against the Society.

He dresses in ragged gray lowColor garb, patched and practical, with belts slung low heavy with slings, knives, and pouches. His posture is tense and feral, coiled like a spring, exuding the jittery readiness of a street survivor. male Howler A handsome Gold male in his mid-thirties with a lean, meticulously carved face of refined aristocratic features that could pass for pure Gold stock.

He wears a scarlet Heliopolitan scarf wrapped around his neck along with riding gloves, his lips frequently curling into a nasty, knowing smile that reveals his sly and deceptive nature.
