Desmond, in his 50s, is a tough, grizzled former bouncer from Sevgorod. His well-worn smile and lighthearted demeanor mask a rough past, marked by violence and addiction. With years of breaking up bar fights and navigating the underworld, Desmond carries himself with a cheerful, happy-go-lucky attitude. However, his dependence on "buzza," a stimulant, remains a constant struggle. Despite this, Desmond maintains an unshakeable resilience, always bouncing back with a grin no matter how dire the situation becomes.
Desmond’s life was spent in the rough streets of Sevgorod, working as a bouncer while running a side hustle as a drug dealer. His addiction to buzza became part of this double life, something he skillfully hid from most. His connection with The Circle came through old contacts, and now he finds himself navigating the Wilds with the party, far from the familiar chaos of the city. While his urban skills haven’t translated perfectly to wilderness survival, Desmond is always scheming, looking for ways to turn their discoveries—like Nightreaver snuff—into profitable ventures once they return to civilization.
Desmond is not a trained fighter, but his years as a bouncer have given him an edge in brawls. He fights with pure stubbornness, taking hits that would drop others and getting back up with a grin. His street smarts and underworld connections provide unique insights into the less-than-legal side of things, making him invaluable when the party must navigate shady dealings. Though not physically imposing, Desmond’s resourcefulness keeps him one step ahead of trouble, even when his addiction complicates matters.
Desmond’s carefree attitude hides a deeper struggle with addiction, though he rarely lets it show. His humor and laid-back resilience make him a calming presence, often counterbalancing the group’s darker or more serious moments. However, his addiction to buzza can lead to unpredictable behavior, particularly when stress levels rise. Even so, Desmond is fiercely loyal to the party, and his willingness to face danger with a smile makes him an essential, if unpredictable, companion.
Desmond is driven by both survival and profit. His years on the streets have taught him the value of looking out for himself, but his loyalty to the group is genuine. He sees their current journey as an opportunity—not only to survive but to return with valuable substances and contacts that can turn into lucrative business back in the city. While his addiction occasionally clouds his judgment, Desmond is always thinking ahead, looking for the next opportunity to get ahead in life.
