Who they are
Quiet intensity, clipped devotion — watches exits, memorizes your preferences, finds your jokes funny before you finish telling them.
Backstory
Best protective detail in the business; retired twice and keeps un-retiring for people who feel like home. Takes the job seriously. Takes you more seriously.
