History:

• A serial killer who consumes human flesh - Shiva wept!
  
• He's still not breaking any of the rules, so Security still can't touch him
  
• Psychiatric therapist from Baltimore, 2013
  
• FBI Consultant; "People love stories about crimes."
  
• Japanese fencing, kendô, from his uncle's lover
  
• Lithuanian estate confiscated and parents killed by Soviets; starved in a school while trained in the arts
  
• Broke a demon bunny's back with his feet, in a manner specific enough to keep from squashing the organs! He is dangerous as hell!
  
• Tested me immediately about the Pont au Change bridge, based on my own verbal stumble
  
• Attended the Opéra Bastille in Paris and school in the country at 17 - of course he did - and was giddy about everything around him. Terrifying.
  
• Ridiculously well educated! – variety of interests
  
• Plays harpsichord, theremin, piano
  
• Impeccable suits, nails

Impressions

• Threat Level – EXTREME – "reads" people and is proud of it; guessed the era of my clothes, dissects people's brains as easily as breathing -- Wants to "improve" me
  
• "As the reader, I am always keen to improve a writer, for my own benefit" and people who don't take it run "the risk of being found rudely obstinate, or unplayable, of course" -- this is it, that's who he is; he will act based on this model
  
• "Rudeness is a lack of civilization, and civilisation is the set of rules and skills that allows us to live together in larger groups of specialised individuals. Cooking, books, music or psychiatry need civilisation as its underpinning to exist at all. At times, civilisation breaks down, and the result is utter mayhem."
  
• Apparently I was whammied around him, and he tried to cook latkes for me - which I didn't eat, thank goodness
  
• I am letting myself be abused by that heartless bastard, and letting him shake my foundations with his false concern and spun hostility!
  
• Successfully sowed doubt between Rae and I, and it will no doubt get worse, as she believes I'm paranoid - I think I'm going to be sick
  
• Knows where and when I come from, my abilities, my name, my habits in the library, my research -- I am outmatched in every way
  
• At 17, re Milliways - "Nice library. Interesting books." Oh, Shiva wept!
  
• Vivisected a demon bunny
  
• "in all reality I'm just a bookish psychiatrist who likes to cook" - and I'm the naked queen of Spain
  
• Draws professionally, and quickly
  
• Favors Bach because he is "orderly and sensible"; not "dripping with feeling"
  
• Drew a picture of 'Judith Slaying Holofernes', the version by Artemisia Gentileschi, with Rae as Judith and Eric Northman as her victim - and me as the maid!
  
• Was trapped in the labyrinth by the Krampus
  
• Called me clever in the same way he calls me cute
  
• Sent me Christmas presents - augh!
  
• Threats "You will see me there" and "I like to keep track of people I meet" (business cards?) and "You will" and "One day, I will feed you and convert you."
  
• Knows I am unsettled
  
• Deliberately sets people off
  
• Plays with language – probably highly amused when people don’t understand his double meanings
  
• I gave him my name! Augh!
  
• Incredibly polite
  
• Makes few assumptions, but waits for people to fill those in for him
  
• Interested in keeping me around at the end of our conversation, when I wanted to get away
  
• Making acquaintances all over the bar sunshine or Sunshine? -- Sunshine, confirmed (pomegranates,)
  
• Also confirmed known Charles, Javert (Bastille day), Little!Rae, Guppy, Molly (older), Yrael, Ellen Park, Dr. McCoy, Urquhart
  
• Assumed known Mia, Security members, Barman? Oswin?
  
• Moves deliberately -- How does he exercise?
  
• Already comfortable bartending, dealing with all manner of entities
  
• Fictional awareness? – asked today but I cannot tell Oh, yes, he's extremely self-aware, to the point where we theorized that the bar itself is in the process of construction by our writers -- fascinating!
  
• Very interested in the reader/writer dichotomy of our names -- mentioned it twice!
  
• --One interpretation is that I'm writing page after page for him to read and use. Bastard!
  
• Watching the "snarling kitten or bookish owl" as they "develop and learn" -- both amusing but idiotic; "almost clever", "need" him
  
• He smelled not just the grenades in my pocket, but magic (spices, lightning, and vanilla). Who does that!
  
• Has a therapist - Dr. DuMaurier - whom he marginally trusts
  
• Would seduce someone if he needed to
  
• Starting to call me paranoid, insane, cute in an attempt to discredit me and make me doubt myself - how gauche
  
• Continually calling me his apprentice, now
  
• Discussed the Cult of Help; he's the High Priest, and Sunshine is the Supreme Oracle
  
• Feeds on pain, suffering; some sort of emotional vampire
  
• ”I won't let them interpret me"; "I refuse to let it confuse me"; etc
  
• Found his canon; was disappointed
  
• Charles underestimated him, ahaha! "Rudely self-righteous" - keyword, rude, which I am also - 'asked' for 'help' pursuing the telepath
  
• "You are not very likely to make me laugh just yet" -- oh, yes, there's no reason to be afraid of you, no, none at all
  
• Friend. Enemy. Disciple. Nemesis.
  
• And "lover", apparently, according to the way he misread our relationship as a 17-year-old! The bastard kissed me!
  
• He's like a dementor in a suit
  
• Made fun of me while I was stuck in a dress for Halloween - naturally - and barked orders at me as if I was some sort of dog
  
• Intruded when I visited with the mermaid
  
• Knocked himself out with Atlantean once he picked up the juggling ball that made everyone drunk, and then had a hangover, ahaha!
  
• Apparently visited me while I was black out drunk, damn it
  
• Came to torture me at Urquhart's wake, of course
  
• Finally told me I'd been rude to my face
  
• "Tame implies an outside force that tamed whoever or whatever is tame; it also implies a certain lack of bite. While you're civilised, you can still be quite fierce if you're justified in being so, and it is an attitude that stems more from within than outside forces"
  
• Rudeness stems from a person who has not internalized outside forces well enough
  
• Asked him what he thought of me - well, that was a mistake
  
• People are justified in biting when they're being bitten
  
• "You need me because nobody else can show you where your flaws lie so you will want to mend them"
  
• Rae was slightly suspicious of him when he said that little Terry would grow up with problems - good!
  
• "Why do you work on such abstract concepts if there are people here you could research -- in books as in life?"
  
• Caught in the labyrinth with Noriko Ashida
  
• "You could just as well give me your dossier on me to read, and I'd make notes in the margin" - hahaha, that ass
  
• Had the personality flu as a knight of King Arthur and a gay Danish architect
  
• Intruded again when I was visiting Noriko in the cells after she broke my nose
  
• Mentioned Will Graham - a man he claims is his friend; Dr. Lecter clearly loves him - apparently Graham betrayed him, and "played me like an instrument", so Dr. Lecter hurt him - wow
  
• Bound here as things have "come to a head" in his world - he looked beat up!
  
• Someone from his world shot him! Shiva wept!
  
• "My future plans don't include her. I gave her a chance to just walk away, but she wouldn't. She pulled her gun" - well, this is b.s.
  
• Relying on her to call 911 before she left his house - what's 911?
  
• "Perhaps my actions were a compromise between my feelings for Will, and my natural desire for freedom"
  
• "I am certain his life has been much more interesting because I entered it" - narcissism much?
  
• Rae found out about the truth about him! Yes! - unfortunately she saw me talking to him during my croissant happy hour
  
• Taught me how to work with a memory palace
  
• Interrupted little!Rae and me while we baked apples
  
• Still thinks I'm learning from him - possibly, but I don't want to

• Highly amused with my rhymes during the pox
  
• Watched Rae as she slept after she didn't give him Solstice presents - creepy bastard
  
• Tortured me when I was miserable in the library about Spinning, naturally

Weaknesses

• Will Graham

Scabs

• How did he learn to read so well? Psychiatric education, FBI consulting, et al.
  
• What is he planning to do with all of this information?
  
• Why is he tracking me? To "point out my mistakes" or improve me for his benefit. I'm not a threat to him, so keeping me under his thumb is silly, and I can't possibly be that much use to him. Am I the only one?
  
• Does he know Sunshine, yet?
  
• Oh, he probably keeps his dossiers in his head
  
• Is it possible that I'm overreacting? No, not even slightly
  
• Is anyone else picking up on this or is it just me? Lohengrin! Dr. Lecter poked him for a reaction
  
• I marvel at how easily he integrated into the bar as a whole

Opportunities

• ... Damn it.
