Desiree Delittle
First in charge of the local information broker agency, Desiree gladly works with anyone regardless of their intentions as long as they can provide the money needed. Very little is known of him, and he is both feared and adored by his subordinates, and even the toughest gangster clients show him respect. Despite working for years in the agency, Desiree doesn't seem to age at all, and as result very wild stories of him and his supposed past tend to float around with nobody really knowing what's the truth. However, despite his youthful looks, Desiree geneally acts like an older man and sometimes seems even oblivious to his own looks. He is often visited by the famiglia led by Joshua, and he is affiliated with Ophelia.
His worldsetting is vague and undetermined, but it could be assumed there is at least a very similar version of him in the world X. AppearanceDesiree has an appearance of a youth between anything from 15 to 18 years old, and as such appears as young to people. He is 166cm tall and has a slim but well toned body with strong upper body, arms and legs. He has a small scar on his chest near his heart, gained in a battle when he was still young. His eyes are grey blue with long lower eyelashes, making his eyes appear somewhat droopy. His nose is slightly smaller than average and sharp, and his mouth is red and wide, contrasting his otherwise rather feminine features. His face is sharp edged and his cheek bones are visible. His hair is very light brown cut in a short and layered manner, and he usually styles his hair to make it appear spikier.
Desiree is shown to be limping occasionlly, and especially certain weather conditions apparently make his entire left leg ache. Nobody has ever seen what kind of wound or fault Desiree has on his leg and Desiree keeps it hidden on purpose: his left leg has been almost entirely amputated and replaced with a partially magic-operated ball joint doll leg of very light shade. Although Desiree can move it with his will only as if it was a real part of his natural body, his left side is still clumsier than his right and can limit his movement. He doesn't have any sense of touch on his left foot either, but he doll leg can be damaged and even destroyed. Desiree usually dresses in practical but stylish clothes, fitting for someone who works mostly indoors but also meets customers on a regular basis. His outfit usually consists of a simple white collared shirt, a green tie, brown suspenders and brown pants accompanied by dark coloured dress shoes. His clothes are often custom made and tailored for him specifically, and as result they usually fit him well. |

Personality
Desiree is a mysterious individual who doesn’t let much known of himself. Usually people are dealing with him through work, and there he is generally polite and professional, not letting anything out than is necessary - unless you have enough money to pay.
Known to be extremely practical, Desiree usually doesn’t talk any more than is necessary, and he has an ability to sum up things very effectively in only a few words or sentences. This can make him somewhat frustrating at times though as he can be somewhat blunt and insensitive: sparing someone’s feelings usually isn’t particularly high on his priority list - it comes with the profession. Although Desiree is known to be incredibly strict and precise to the point his subordinates fear him, he can also be kind, attentive and even supportive when needed. He prefers having good relationship with his subordinates, but also constantly keep them on their toes and remind them he is also in charge of them, and is capable of punishing them entirely on his own if they mess up or betray him and the agency.
Desiree isn’t the head of the agency as there is a person above him, but as this person is never really present and operates from elsewhere, Desiree is technically the leader of the agency - and to his subordinates he most definitely is the number one authority in spirit, if nothing else.
Known for his zero tolerance for taking sides in the profession, a certain kind of passive and neutral view on everyone around him characterizes Desiree. He has very little interest in picking sides and prefers only taking care of himself. He isn’t entirely heartless and is capable of sympathy just like majority of people, but he prioritizes himself higher than most.
Although overwhelmingly confident and thus assuring his dominance over most people right off the bat, Desiree, as everyone, has his insecurities as well. He can sometimes be somewhat self conscious of his looks and he tolerates not a single jeer regarding the topic - at worst he opens the fire immediately. He also doesn’t want to talk about his past, and those who try to find out more are usually either threatened out of it, or just downright gotten rid of for good. As he tends to think of himself first and foremost, he can appear somewhat heartless and merciless when his insecurities are brought up.
Getting along with him is easy as long as you don’t try to step on his toes, but befriending him seems to be almost impossible - but only “almost”.

Past
Almost nothing is known of Desiree’s past and he never talks about it. Occasionally he might drop a thing or two but people know better than to ask him personally.
According to most common theories among his subordinates and mobs who know more about him, he is a victim of human trafficking who somehow managed to fight his way out and escape, or alternatively some sort of demonic creature. These theories are mostly based on his looks, his occasional limping and the fact he seems rather young yet shows no signs of aging.
!!! THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS !!!
Desiree’s real identity is that of Jonathan Thatcher, who attended world war at the age of 15, approximately 20 years ago. He was a child soldier from a poor family, joining the battle in stead of his sick father. In his teenage fantasies he also hoped to achieve fame and glory, but as he joined the merciless battlegrounds he soon understood he’d most likely die rather than return home as a war hero.
Due to his age and looks his fellow adult soldiers often teased him and made fun of him, and as the youngest he became the target of the soldier’s frustration when they got agitated and bored of waiting for the enemy to arrive. Desiree, however, was too proud to return home and instead he endured the constant humiliation.
During one of his first battles, he was shot in the leg. Instead of landing into the normal hospital bed, he found himself from the country’s secret laboratories. Their plan was to experiment on randomly chosen, badly or fatally wounded soldiers and this way offer them a chance to live if the experiment succeed - although not asking their opinion whether or not they wanted to live on like this. Desiree’s hurt leg had been almost entirely amputated and changed to a partially magic-operated ball jointed doll leg, and once he recovered enough, the scientists started experimenting on him and testing magic-based medicine to boost his strength and slow down his aging among other things.
In the facility he met Ophelia, a fellow human experiment, and the two of them became friends and sparring partners. If it wasn’t for each other’s company, neither of them would have probably been able to handle the mental burden of the experiments.
As result, when Desiree next time stepped on the battlefield, he was genetically and magically engineered to last longer than normal soldiers, process information quicker and handle weapons with higher accuracy and faster movement. He could also zap people with a burst of electricity from his fingers as long as he charged the electricity from somewhere. However, his leg could not be fixed, and his marionette leg hindered his movement and speed, and the tests left him unable to develop physically any further than what he had been during the tests.
After the war ended, Desiree was unwilling to return to the laboratories and continue the life of a human experiment, and he fled overseas where he was eventually recruited into a code broker agency, and from there he started climbing up in rank to where he now is.

Trivia
- He is equally loved and feared by his subordinates, and he is respected by the city’s mobs as well. However, he is entirely unaffiliated with everyone and will offer his service to anyone who has the money, regardless of who wants to buy it.
- He originally got his nickname from fellow soldiers who mocked his somewhat pretty looks. Desiree decided to embrace the name and eventually adopted it as his default name
- Desiree can zap people with electricity, but only if he first gets to charge himself. As this puts burden on his body and tires him out fast, Desiree mostly doesn't use it - and when he does, it's for childish pranking he sometimes does when it gets particularly stressing and boring at work.
- Is somehow related to Ophelia, but nobody knows how. All they know is the two of them have been extremely close in the past, but nowadays they are strictly polite and reserved around each other, either because of bad blood or simply due the fact they only meet when in work.
- Regarding his powers, Desiree isn’t exceptionally strong or intelligent. He is above average, but his doll leg hinders his movements and his physical age limits him and won’t let him gain as much power as he would if he had been a fully grown adult when being experimented on. He relies more on his ability to make connections and provide service, although his wired up brain admittedly has a large effect on how he has managed to get this far.
As for side effects, Desiree is unable to grow and mature, and even his mental maturity is partially held back by his physical development. Not in a considerable manner, but he himself is well aware of his occasional adolescence-like impulses and it makes him frustrated. - Very lonely to the point he has kind of devoted his life for his work for now. He doesn’t have any plans for the future. Expects to either get killed at some point or end his life with his own hands when he gets bored, as he doesn’t think he will die in a natural manner.
- Smokes, although irregularly
- Although he is mostly seen at work, Desiree is known to be quite a ladies man and does participate in the night life once in a while. However, his pursue of any sort of romantic relationship tends to fall short due to his looks, and he often ends up receiving so much trouble from looking so young he sometimes just can't be bothered to go anywhere.
