Description

Some things never change, and this boy is always ready to shit talk.

Puzzles spent his childhood under a physically abusive father and an emotionally abusive mother, and had to pick his poison more often than not.

Though not brought up poor or rich, Puzzles does have an eye for fine things, and can fall into avarice rather easily. He began skimming off his father's bank account early on, and was never caught. Though he's good at fraud and digital forms of theft, he prefers more physical forms of larceny.

Puzzles world is behind in terms of technological development, more closely resembling the level of tech we had in the 90's, and Puzzles loves building and innovating his own tech. He always carries a variety of small weapons with him, even after he 'retires'.

He isn't among the strongest of the Riddlers, but he is very scrappy, and always ready to throw hands. His mouth frequently writes checks that his ass can't cash, but he's very resilient, and has a high tolerance to pain.

Puzzles has the potential to be very smooth and charming, which is usually buried under his bad habit of antagonizing everyone all the time. He even does this to people he really likes. Puzzles does have a streak of righteousness in him, willing to go to great lengths to get 'justice' for people he cares about, and has an old fashioned idea about fair play (Trick, but have rules, don't kill women or children, don't take child hostages, and so on.) He is a murderer, but kills only rarely and deliberately, never indiscriminately.

He is openly gay, but very uncomfortable with public displays of affection, or really, any public acknowledgement of sexual or romantic nature at all.

Puzzles carries a gun, but has terrible aim. He is much more of a melee fighter, and uses fear toxin needles embedded in his gloves on any foe who closes in on him.

Puzzles is surprisingly good at mentoring younger people, despite everything, and settles into that role after a while, bringing equilibrium to the Family. He finally decides that he would rather be happy and alive than famous but dead, and matures considerably.
