Eugene McDavey

Eugene McDavey - a rather short, portly bastard with wispy red hair which marks his Irish roots despite having lived in London for the better part of his 48 years. He's a sloppily kept man with a gluttonous lifestyle that is all about excess...food, booze, cigars, etc, but rarely woman, as he is a shy man and terrified of them. He always wears suspenders yet can never keep his shirt fully tucked in.

A banker by day, but achieved his financial freedom by night as the head of an absinth trade ring. It is in this ring where he met Castro on a routine absinth/cigar swap. He is never seen in public without his hired French underling Jacques (a slimy Frenchman who wears the same worn out red and white stripped shirt and black beret every day), who despite being 25, McDavey insist on referring to as "Young Jacques". Jacques rarely cares to speak other than to use asinine comments to discount Mr. McDavey's all too common use of cliches to take stock in a situation.For example:

"Pressure makes diamonds, Young Jacques" - McDavey

"Yes, but it also makes poo come out of your arse" - Jacques

Jacques, a former child prodigy, made an estate for himself on clever insider trading in the French market but was formally banned, however never prosecuted. (it is rumored that the basis of his strategy was swiping briefcases out of adjacent bathroom stalls while prolific marketers squatted next door.) He however lost his fortune while trying to build a series of Venetian canals through the middle of Paris - which needless to say were a large failure.

He came under the watchful eye of McDavey after an extensive absinth bender - which caused the bridge between his left and right lobes of the brain to lose communication. Thus, he must see things with both eyes to fully function. In the event he sees things only with his left eye, he cannot speak his thoughts on the subject, nor will his left hand be able to reach out and grab it. This makes him terrible clumsy and appear frozen when presented with complex tasks. Additionally he is head of McDavey's absinth research and development wing - with the position of chief tester of experimental fluids, or (CHEF).
