AFFILIATION: CRIMSON VIPERS

Gash runs quiet until he doesn't. Around the crew he's easy company, dry enough to be funny without working at it, and loud enough at the right moments that his absence from a party would register before anyone could name why. He's been part of the Vipers long enough that his presence has become part of the texture of the Den itself.

He's practical in a way that goes deeper than most people realize. He carries knowledge that doesn't come from books or training programs but from years of figuring out what keeps people alive in situations where the margin is thin. He shares it without making it a lesson, passing it along the same way the crew passes everything useful: quietly, without ceremony, because someone might need it one day and it costs nothing to make sure they have it.

He's a runner and a reliable one, trusted with jobs that require someone who won't panic when things shift and won't talk about it after. He does what the job needs and comes home, and has done it enough times that the crew stopped thinking of it as remarkable.

There's more going on behind the composure than he tends to let out. He's got the face of someone who's learned to keep his cards close and the laugh of someone who decided a long time ago that the city wasn't getting that from him too.
