elementof_riskList the top five ideas/concepts/etc you keep in mind while writing the character that you believe are essential to accurately depicting them.
1. His loyalty goes to the highest bidder. So, if the good guys can give him more than the bad guys--he'll totally play for the good guys. But beware the knife that's aimed at your back. Now, the good guys tend to have the upper hand, as he values his freedom even more than money, but still.
2. He really didn't want to torture Rachel. But he did. He was really pissed she didn't break, because he didn't like keeping hurting her, and at the same time, he was proud of her. He's pretty sure he wouldn't do it again. Well, he knows he wouldn't for money. But put a gun to his head...he'd prefer them both get out alive? Pain can be recovered from. Bullets in brains not so much. He'd apologize a lot later?
3. He loved Irina like a mother, but knows she never loved him back. He loved Lauren, too, but he's pretty sure she was just using him for awesome sex and to piss off Michael. In fact, he's fairly certain no one's ever loved him ./until Rachel./until Baileigh. Maybe his actual mother did, but since he never knew her, there's no way to prove that.
4. He is a master of snark. He rarely has a conversation without it.
5. He doesn't know who he is outside of the reputation and image he's crafted for himself in the spy game.
