He grew up in a family that left the city's political circles when he was in the third grade.

He wanted to be an accountant at age eight. He became Athena's special forces instead, because Achilles went there first and he followed, and because his mind turned out to be exactly what that kind of work requires.

He has loved Achilles since they were eighteen.

He would describe this as obvious. He carries one private fear about it that he has never named out loud.

He knew Helen Kasios when she was a child. She punched someone for him. He nearly accounted for her and didn't. She surprised him entirely, which is the rarest thing she could have done.

He resigned from Athena's organization three days ago. He is now figuring out, with characteristic thoroughness, what he is when the title is gone and only the person remains.

He thinks the answer is going to be more than he expected.
