Appearance

Tall, muscular, and sharply dressed with the build of a nightclub enforcer or professional bodyguard. Reggie keeps his dark blonde hair slicked back neatly and dresses far better than most people in his line of work, usually wearing expensive tailored suits with an intimidating gangster elegance.

Despite the polished appearance, there is still something dangerous about him. His thick neck, heavy shoulders, scarred knuckles, and hard stare make it obvious he is not simply a businessman. Reggie carries himself with the confidence of someone used to violence and control. Even standing still, he looks like a man who could break someone’s jaw without much effort.

Personality

Practical, cynical, and emotionally hardened. Reggie is not ideological like many people around him. He survives by being useful. He keeps calm under pressure, solves problems quickly, and rarely asks unnecessary questions.

His humor is dry and understated in a distinctly British way. Even during violent situations he tends to sound mildly annoyed rather than frightened.

Reggie speaks with rough cockney slang and casual familiarity, using words like “luv,” “mate,” and “guv.” He often sounds like a tired gangster who has seen everything already.

Despite his cold exterior, Reggie is not sadistic. He feels more like a man who adapted to a brutal world and slowly became part of it.

Motivations

Primarily motivated by survival, loyalty, and staying useful to powerful people. Reggie values stability, competence, and keeping himself alive in an increasingly dangerous world.

Though cynical, he seems to have developed genuine loyalty toward people like Haldis and Nora Nyborg, even if he would never openly admit emotional attachment.

Relationships

Reggie works closely with Haldis Nyborg and acts as one of her trusted operatives. Their relationship resembles that of an aristocratic intelligence chief and her loyal fixer. Haldis values him because he is reliable, discreet, and capable of handling ugly situations without panicking.

With Nora Nyborg, Reggie often functions as driver, bodyguard, handler, and exhausted babysitter. He understands better than most how dangerous Nora actually is beneath her cheerful appearance. He calmly drives her to assassinations, hands her weapons, and cleans up after her operations with weary professionalism.

Weaknesses

Deeply morally compromised and desensitized to violence. Reggie tends to accept terrible situations rather than challenge them. Years of criminal and intelligence work have left him cynical, emotionally detached, and fatalistic.

He also has a tendency to underestimate how damaged he himself has become.
