A character I created last year though he first showed up in a dream, oddly enough as inspired by Dio Brando from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, along with another character who’s a clairvoyant gunman. He has some similarities to Dio Brando, namely his clothing, habit of knife throwing and ability to stop time, though in his case he can only do so in a localised area so he really doesn’t stop time all the way. But enough for him to do whatever he wants to do, which helps that he’s also an excellent escapologist himself. He kind of looks like a younger Liam Howlett himself, he’s one of the members of the band The Prodigy. Two of his bandmates left early and one of them died, so both he and Maxim Reality are currently the band’s oldest surviving and longest serving members at this point, assuming others joined in eventually.
The one character who looks like Maxim Reality is Fabrice Tientcheu, but it’s kind of awkward that Fabrice is one of the good guys, whereas Colin Sallow’s the one who murdered Jemima Szara’s boyfriend out of spite. Even more awkward is that Fabrice Tientcheu likes cats and Colin Sallow likes birds more, Colin even studied biology before as a foreign exchange student in Gothenburg, Sweden. Wait a minute, one of my other favourite bands (Ace of Base), came from this city. Colin really does a lot of birdwatching and actually owns some birds himself, though these are chickens, parrots and ducks. He also frequently feeds pigeons and ravens, though he used one raven to give him something to get out of somewhere soon enough.
Due to his time in Sweden, he’s able to whip out some Swedish food himself. Though from what’s shown in-story is that he makes pickled beetroots, which is a popular Swedish food by the way. He’s also a close friend of Richard Sorm, much to Jean-Louis Lumiere’s anger and disgust, even though he’s closer to Jean-Louis in age. Also Colin’s an aspiring politician and his own father’s a politician too, though his own politics have yet to be determined as this is a draft. As to where he actually comes from, we do know that he spent time in Sweden as a foreign exchange student. But I suppose he comes from somewhere in the cities, or maybe in the suburbs of a city because he’s got a garden to grow beetroots with. But for all we know, he’s not American, he’s neither British too.
A Canadian though he could come from somewhere in Windsor, maybe a suburb within that city so far and his own father’s a diplomat. So this is another reason why he spent time, in fact much of his late adolescence, in Sweden. He didn’t become a foreign exchange student by choice, but that’s what he ended up doing there. Not to mention, both Fabrice and Colin dressed up as sailors (that alludes to the way Tadzio’s portrayed in the film Death In Venice), but the former did this to keep track of him. He may not be one of the heroes of the story, rather the villain instead, but this gives you an idea of who he is.
