Additional Notes:

Role-Playing Notes:

Generally the Answer acts as a criminal

mercenary, loyally following the orders of
his boss. He however at times, compelled
to provide “the answer” to a dilemma, even
to the point of self-sacrifice. He has in the
past withheld the answer to other people’s
problems, negotiating for the information.
The Answer is highly intelligent and studies
his targets in preparation for battle.

He may be limited to devising solutions to

problems presented by others, that will
benefit them, while he can accept a fee for
helping, he probably could not solve his
own personal problems. He may be
psychologically compelled to accept
challenges presented by others.
