The bar provides Tycharo the occasional grounding he needs, away from work, away from his kitchen table, littered with blueprints, electronic parts, his laptop, his notes. Anyone who’d witness the chaos of the affair would not liken it to the gentleman sitting at the counter — while he cares very little for material property, hence his modest housing, his suits are worth more than the average person would make in a year, most likely. As pressed as he looks in his day to day, so chaotic is his home environment. It doesn’t matter, as no one ever sees it.

He’d have been more than happy to sit there in continued silence, staring ahead of himself in thought while he nurses his drink, when his mindscape is pierced by a man addressing him next to him. I’m good. It’s a stock reply to brush off and definitively shut down any further attempts at conversation. Tycharo turns his head, barely, eyes falling onto the other man’s face. The words don’t leave him; instead, his eyebrow twitches, almost unnoticeable, in the slightest expression of surprise. “There’s so many more things you could offer me that would be to my liking, darling.”

Even with his new responsibilities as acting governor keeping him busy and on his toes, he still found time to go back to the familiar. He would always be drawn back to the places that he felt at ease and those would always be wherever there were crowds. Sociable by nature he thrived on interactions with others, new dynamics fuelling him and the little flickers of triumph over insights that he gained sustaining him. It was his element and the confidence that he exuded made sure that everyone else knew it too. Languid strides carry him over to the bar, as though he has all the time in the world. With a smooth movement he leads against the bar, easy smile settling on his lips as the bartender greets him. “I’ll take your best scotch, neat.” Casting his gaze around for someone he might entrap in a conversation, a warm offer was made to the person next to him. “I’ll happily make it two if you’d like? Or something that’s more to your liking.”

𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐈𝐄 — * RELENTLESS, YOU SURVIVE

TYCHARO ARGADIS is a FORTY-ONE-year-old from TYROSH. so far, he has managed to remain NEUTRAL in the warscape of king’s landing, paying loyalty only to those within his crew; when hired, anyone knows that his word is his bond up until his commission is fulfilled, upon which all is free game once more. he’s RUTHLESS and immensely PRIVATE, given edge by his INTUITIVE nature and INSIGHTFUL and LOGICAL mind. he’s not in the business to start fights for anyone. but bring a fight to his front door, and he will sure end it.

GENDER — cis man (he / him)

ORIENTATION — greyaromantic bisexual

ROMANTIC TYPE — monoamorous

OCCUPATION — heist mission coordinator

HEIST MISSION COORDINATOR ?

that’s a long occupational designation. it’s nothing you’re going to find in books, there’s no school that will allow you to earn a degree in it. for the moment, it’s a self-designation. so what does it mean? in one simple word: thief. he can get you anything, on a 20% profit commission base. pay the man, and he’ll get a team together to break into anything you want, get you that thing you want, the money, the art, the diamonds, the blackmail, the illicit drugs, the weaponry. after he gets his money, whatever you choose to do with what he procured for you is entirely not his business, and beyond what he needs to know to complete his commission successfully, he’ll not ask questions. he simply does not care.

CRIMINAL MASTERMIND...

so the things he does happen, by and large, behind the scenes. a few of the duties he takes upon himself are: planning the heist in question; briefing his crew through the main and alternate plans; guiding his crew through mission objectives; coordinating with outside connections; covering up evidence; explosive work where needed; hacking work where needed; monitoring police dispatches and incoming radios; ‘enhanced interrogations’ when information is lacking.

THEY CALL ME DEVIL !

for the most part, tycharo is incredibly difficult to read. there’ll be no grand displays of emotion on his face; the emotion expressed will be small tells. flared nostrils, narrowed eyes, a jaw muscle jumping under his skin. his entire behaviour is carefully curated and monitored, to the point where immediate aggression won’t make him flinch. such things are weakness, after all, cracks in the armour, and a way for the hostile outside world to break through his mental defences. just like his facial expressions, so his words are curt and concise. he’s not one to mindlessly reply — words mean things, and he’ll not simply throw them around without intent behind them. a threat is not a bluff. a promise is never empty. sometimes thoughts are better left as just that; thoughts. and sometimes, you don’t need to speak of the dagger before you plunge it into someone’s gut. they’ll know why.

HELL BENEATH A TIE...

tycharo puts no meaning to the word ‘relaxation’, and it shows in his manner of dress. full suits, ties, pressed, steamed, cuffed; when he’s working, he’ll look the part. there’s very few people who will catch the man on off-hours, and indeed, some might contemplate if he even has any, or knows the meaning of ‘time off’. his idea of casual is a suit without a tie. his crew will know that when the suit jacket and tie come off and sleeves are rolled up to his elbows is when the real work starts. but otherwise, anyone might believe he even sleeps in a suit, and he won’t bother correcting them.

THE DEVIL WITHIN !

if tycharo is hard to read, then he’s harder to get to know. he’s private and business-like to a fault, and he doesn’t ‘fraternise’, with anyone. needless to say, he’s never claimed friends in his forty-one years of existence, and he’s fine to keep it this way. those who do know personal details about him have obtained this information through sheer patience; such information is extended at the same pace as a glacier shifts down a mountain. there’s a few things that are public knowledge about him, however. he’s thorough and a detail-oriented problem solver — one would think he’d value order and structure, but these are exactly two things he absolutely loathes. order and structure only has value in how far they can be exploited, and otherwise he prefers dynamism and unpredictability.

A PROMISE, A THREAT...

anyone with eyes and a working brain can attest to tycharo’s immorality. the idea of ripping life from another person doesn’t make him blink, especially if that person gets in between him and his goal. he likes hurting others, exerting control, causing fear, but certainly won’t go out of his way for it either. the duality lies in that his word is his bond. a deal is a deal, and he’ll keep to it; aside from delivering good work, it’s how he maintains his reputation. he’s exacting and critical of those within his inner business circle, but in the same breath, they earn loyalty and dedication. the same work ethic that leads him to maim, torture, and kill will lead him to protect, avenge, and care for those under his charge.

SHEPHERD OF FIRE !

CLOSE ASSOCIATES — tycharo has a short list of people whom he relies on to fill his commissions; while not everyone within his crew is called upon for every job, they’re generally the people he trusts professionally and the first ones to get a call if their particular expertise is needed. he’s loath to outsource, and will only do so at the recommendation of members within his crew.

THE BLACK MARKET !

BUSINESS ASSOCIATES — an artist needs his commissioners. tycharo needs business associates, past, present, and future. someone who commissioned a job from him, or a job that’s just complete and only debriefing and payment remains. perhaps someone looking to hire his services. whatever it is, whatever the job or the goal, he needs it.

THE UNKNOWN !

OUTSIDERS — people to whom his reputation does not precede him. people to whom he is simple a man, albeit a very harsh one. relations that don’t revolve around work, a budding kinship. enemies to friends. friends to enemies. sexual relationships of whatever kind. call it.
