Half Pint
Name: Teig Linklater
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Appearance: Teig stands at a tall 6 foot and bears a muscular physique. His hair is a dark brown, and is kept at a medium length. Both his hair and his beard are rather unkempt, not a result of the apocalypse by the way. His eyes match his hair being brown and rather ordinary. Scars litter his arms, although are found sparingly elsewhere on his body. A tattoo of the 'West Ham' football club's logo can be found on the back of his right shoulder.
Personality: Loyal and angry would be two words to describe Teig. His experiences in life have made him equally honourable to his friends and easily angered to just about everyone. He has been taking steps to keep his anger in check recently, but who knows what will happen in the oncoming apocalypse. However, don't take that as meaning his anger consumes his entire personality. Upon first meeting he can be rather kind and even gentleman-like, but can flip like a light switch if something angers him.
History: Teig was born in East London as the son of a butcher and a housewife. He had a very 'traditional' upbringing, with beatings and the like if he ever got in trouble, which was quite often. Most of his early life was centered around solely football. His family was rather poor and as a result they couldn't afford video games and the like so, Teig spent most of his time outside. Of course, being from London, Teig was practically bred to support West Ham.
As he grew, he became more and more of a hooligan. He won't admit it, but he was a bit of a bully throughout his school life, a well liked bully though as his skills with a football were unmatched by any rival school. He maintains the idea that he could have gone professional with his football, but he made a few wrong choices in life that prevented this dream from becoming a reality. Namely a murder he was involved in. A new kid had joined the school, one who supported Millwall. Teig and his cronies didn't take too kindly to that and set about him, only meaning to rough him up a little. What started as a fight ended as a murder. When the police came asking questions, Teig took the fall, allowing his friends to walk free.
He was sent to prison, being 18, where he met a few unsightly fellows and spiraled deeper and deeper into the crime world. Before he knew it, he was beating people up for the local mob boss and after his release gradually rose through the ranks of said mob until he was a trusted associate of the mob boss himself.
He was sent to America to help out the boss' cousin. Things didn't end too well. His brother was attempting to start a drug ring within Ashton, but was caught within the first few months. Teig was lucky enough to get out of it unarrested, and realized that he didn't actually want to live his life running from the police all of the time.
He somehow managed to get a job teaching PE at a local school. He's been trying to live peacefully since then, but a few fights have broken out here or there, mostly over Americans calling football 'soccer'.
Relationships:
None, cut off ties when he moved to America.
