Personal Style: Liam tends to wear darker colours to complement his light skin tone. He has a few more casual t-shirts and jeans, but prefers to look nice if he can, as a result owning a fair few buttoned and polo shirts, nicer trousers and coats. He's not one for being overdressed, but usually aims for 'best dressed'. An average outfit would be a sweater over a buttoned shirt, chinos and leather boots. In colder weather, he'll usually opt for a longer coat and a scarf atop all that. When it comes to more dangerous or 'business-related' endeavours, he'll go for what is easier to wear, usually a pair of hiking boots, a comfortable top and some reasonable trousers, nothing over the top.
Industrious * Reserved * Comedic * Stubborn * Inquisitive * Dismissive
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Liam has become much more introverted since the Altsoba massacre. Outside from those close to him, such as Aloise, he tends to keep to himself whenever he is able, having a general distrust and disconnection from the vast majority of people both due to his experiences in the massacre, and his role as a prophet. He finds that he is able to get through life easiest by keeping to himself, and can often appear rude in brushing off advances or attempts to connect by those he does not know well.
On the inside however, Liam is still very much the same man he once was. A man with a good sense of humour, a sarcastic undertone, and an inqusitive nature which pushes him to learn the most of what he can in any situation. For those lucky enough to get close enough to Liam, he can be a close friend and confidant, and anyone who manages to see that, will usually have him as a friend for life.

First Necromantic Encounter:While Liam's first encounter with a Necromantic was technically with a Rakshasa masquerading as a good friend of his, Amelia Pilkvist, his first major encounter with one was when he and Aloise Zamora were attacked by zombies during the Rise of the Witnesses. Liam was protected by Aloise and his guardian angel at the time, but at the time gained no particular knowledge or ability himself at dispatching them.
Life Before the Altsoba Massacre:Born down under in Sydney, Australia, Liam had a fairly rocky upbringing. He was the oldest of four kids, having a brother and two younger sisters. While his mother was a sweet, kind and caring woman, Liam's father was a drunk and abusive, he would hit Liam, his siblings, and his mother fairly regularly. Liam stepped up as he got older, and once when he was in high school broke a bottle across his father's face to protect his father. As Liam got older and stronger, he could defend his family against his father much easier, and his father began to drink and attack them less as a result. Despite this rather terrible relationship with his own father, Liam was always encouraged by his mother and cared for by him, and went on to do rather well in his own academic pursuits.
Liam built his fascination with journalism and the world of news at a young age. Shortly after he had turned thirteen, Liam stayed up throughout the night to follow reporting of the 9/11 attacks, Liam admired the reporters, and their dedication to the events as they happened. Moving on from high school, Liam went to the University of Sydney to study a bachelor of Media and Communications. He did relatively well in his degree, and grew close to a few transfer students from the United States. It was while at the University of Sydney that Liam also developed a love of literature, and a deep interest in public affairs. He got involved with the student press, and before graduating was one of the lead writers at the student newspaper.
Shortly after graduating, Liam chose not to search for work immediately, but following the example of his American friends, looked into studying abroad. Eventually, he settled on studying in the United States, and moved to do his Masters of Journalism at Harvard. Liam continued to involve himself with student reporting, and took up an internship at a few local news channels as he studied. Graduating, Liam had plenty of references and contacts, and was lucky enough to be able to secure a position as a new associate producer at CNN in New York. Shortly after she settled into working at New York, Liam began to head numerous stories regarding the increasing tremors and natural disasters, across the country and the world.
As it became more and more widely known that Altsoba was being considered as where the epicenter of the coming 'apocalypse' would be, CNN wished to send one of their producers to the town to report on things as they happened, and at the very least compile an optimistic message in the event that it was all wrong. Both out of a luts to know more, and to gain some good favor with his higher-ups in the event it was all wrong, Liam volunteered to head to Altsoba where most of the other producers were reluctant. Making his way to Altsoba, he's trying to settle in while learning as much as he can.
Life Since the Altsoba Massacre:Since the Altsoba Massacre, Liam has spent most of his time travelling alongside Aloise Zamora, learning how to protect himself and what he can from her. Along the way, he has picked up from time to time any and all pieces of the supernatural he's been able to get his hands on which haven't been claimed or snatched up by O.M.E.N, instead selling them off on the black market for a quick buck. He has quickly become disenchanted with the supernatural after the massacre, and has a fair distaste for most of it, except for what aspects of it involve profit for him.
