-> ''We have only to look at some men to distrust them, for we feel the darkness of their souls in two directions. They are restless as to what is behind them, and threatening as to what is in front of them. They are full of mystery. We can answer no more for what they have done than for what they will do. The shadows in their eyes give them away. Hearing them utter a single word, or seeing them make one gesture, we catch glimpses of guilty secrets in their past and dark mysteries in their future.''

And for that precise reason, my hackles went up when I was introduced to him at last year's holiday affair. Everything in this guy's life seemed to fall so ''perfectly'' into place. The mysterious inheritance he used to start [[EvilCorp Avalon]], knowing just the right place and time to introduce his signature product, that disgusting [[BlobMonster Gooshy Gooze]], even finding a way to get [[BigBad Adrian Newberry]] to promote the toys in their early years... it seems awfully damned convenient.

->''Kill Wombosi? We can do that any time we want. I can send Nikki to do that, for Chrissakes. Mr. Wombosi was supposed to be dead three weeks ago. He was supposed to have died in a way where the only possible explanation was that he'd been murdered by a member of his own entourage. I don't send you to kill. I send you to be invisible. I send you because you don't exist.''
