Face Claim
 AI
A seemingly young man that dresses to impress with his dress pants, overcoats, vests and polished shoes. A grey fedora is normally worn just for the sake of fashion. Much of his personal carried gear is kept in the inner pockets of his coat which is reinforced to provide minor protection. Weaponry is hidden on his body for just in case scenarios but you get more allies with carrots than sticks.

For someone who pokes his head around a lot of militaristic and gang related areas, you would think him young, too young at times but a charming face and the use of Disciplines tends to make people think otherwise.

This side gig helped him earn reputation with in the KGB because he would let specific information slip at times leading to scandals and threats being exposed.
