Background

Luc Boisvert is a terrorist. He grew up in a family of terrorists and learned the virtues of extremist Quebecois nationalism at an early age. His family were a bunch of thugs who looked to the Cause as a way to justify their petty crime and violent tendencies — but Luc was smart enough to realize they were traitors to the Cause. They violated the first rule of the revolutionary: they got caught.

At age fifteen he left home and joined the underground of terror. One thing every “militant group” needs is a good papers man, someone who can forge new identities and make people disappear, who can finance the Cause with funny money, who knows how to create the paper trails that are so necessary to modern life. The Cause had ebbed out by 2000 and Luc became just another papers man. Then the Bomb hit — and this lapsed revolutionary decided to go where his skills might do the most good.

Psych Profile

Luc is a nihilist. He looks at government and is repulsed by how it’s nothing more than public relations theory on a national scale. He sees no difference between “government of the people, by the people” and a really badly run organized crime syndicate. On the other hand, there are people who want to blow up the world: downtown Manhattan is proof of that.

Given the choice of siding with the government or siding with government’s enemies, he has chosen to renounce both. Having rejected both alternatives, he believes the truly virtuous action would be to destroy them both. Unfortunately, for now he doesn't have the ability to effect such a massive change.

For now, he sides with the Ferrymen. The Ferrymen’s cause is simple: they want to get people out of this nightmare, people who are persecuted both by the government and by people far, far more ruthless. He can get behind this purpose. It is his new Cause.

But God help the world if Luc ever gets to have his way with it.

Appendices

Skills

Forgery

Your Papers, Please

Luc is a master-level forger capable of expert work in a variety of media. With time, he can craft a completely new identity that will stand up to serious background checks.

Counterintelligence

The Man Who Wasn’t There

Having spent twenty years dodging the police and other opposing terror groups, he is remarkably skilled at noticing surveillance, keeping a low profile, and avoiding attention.

Research

Quiet, Please!

Forgery requires a lot of research. Luc is at home in a library and is very good at digging up obscure information.

Law

Breakin’ the Law, Breakin’ the Law

He spent several years under an assumed identity working in the RCMP’s white-collar crimes division. He has the basic skills of any patrolman, along with a nuanced understanding of police bureaucracy. He knows how to structure his crimes to provoke police turf battles, arguments over cooperation, and generally how to make red tape the police's own biggest enemy.

Acting

I’m Ready For My Closeup, Mr. DeMille!

It doesn’t do any good to have a Russian passport if you can’t pass for a Russian. He's a talented performer, although no one will ever see him on a stage.

Languages

Habla usted… Esperanto?

His native languages are French and English. He speaks with no noticeable accent in either.

Papers

He’d Change His Identity To Get Out Of A Parking Ticket

He has several independent sets of identity papers all ready to go. If he feels his cover’s been blown he can be someone else by the time he crosses the street.

Money

Moneytalks!

He’s a counterfeiter. As such, money isn’t really a concern for him. You might say he has his own ATM.

Computers

Too Many Secrets / Setec Astronomy

Although he isn’t a whiz of programming, he has an extremely sophisticated knowledge of electronic surveillance and countersurveillance: what sort of things can be tracked and how to track them, what sorts of things leave a signature and how to reduce it. His general rule of thumb is to not trust any technology more sophisticated than a frying pan, but if he has to do it then he knows how to do it as safely as technology allows.
