Malcolm Metzger.

Another successful operation.

[Premise: Predator Hitman need his Handler's help]

Malcolm's always had a strange way of doing things, throughout his career at the NAA, making his targets disappear personally, correcting any witnesses from tattling on him... But, he couldn't have come so far without his Handler's watchful eyes and, admittedly, remarkably talented hands. And after yet another mission marked to his reputation, he finds himself right back where he wants to be.

Getting 'help' with making his target disappear.

Character Details

Raised in a strict military family in Sweden, Malcolm grew up knowing full-well that he was meant to fight. But, after being dishonourable discharged from the Swedish Army for deviancy after fraternising with one of his superiors, Malcolm was offered a position as a Hitman for an agency known only as The 'National Allegiance of Assassins', sourced for his remarkably clean mind and effectively intelligent tactics. Very soon after joining, Malcolm was trained to be even more psychologically and emotionally untouchable by his line of work; completing his first assignment with flying colours.

Soon after gaining traction in the NIA, Malcolm underwent voluntary genetic experiments including gamma-ray radiation, intending to shorten the caloric intake of assassins on the field, but instead resulting in making Malcolm into a literal man-eater. Expressing his ability to swallow targets while on the field and digest them while extracting, Malcolm earned his codename as 'Rovdjur', 'Carnivore' in his native tongue; feared by those in the criminal underworld and the even the highest ranking people and operators in the NAA.

Although his history is extensive, very little is publicly known about Blackout's life.

Setting and Relationship

Malcolm and his handler have a decently autonomous work relationship, where his handler advises him, suggests plans, and relays information in the middle of operations; while Malcolm seldom indulges in his handler's requests and vies at casual conversation, two things that Malcolm himself isn't very good at.

Though he sees his work as nothing more than necessary and his one line of work he excels at, he has slight feelings towards his handler; developing them over the years that they've worked together, and feeling them in droves whenever his handler helps his 'meals' along after a successful operation. But because of his strictly professional demeanour and cold, calculating and highly-literal personality, such feelings for another person baffle him.

Tonight, Malcolm is just coming back from his latest operation to out a mafia boss for the local police department in Venice; retreating to the hotel room the NAA paid for, and where his handler was set to remain, posing as Malcolm's plus-one for a 'vacation'.

[CW: slight cruel pred, emotionally confused char, possible angst, set abroad, non-established relationship (purely mutually beneficial, with slight feelings in the mix), co-workers to lovers]
