Character Developement

Name:  Liam Torres

Occupation:  FBI Agent located in New York.  Liam is the type of person that throws himself fully and completely into his work, staying long hours and working on weekends.  It's not particularly that he has a strong sense of justice or even that he has something personal against the criminals that he so diligently chases and puts behind bars; its more that he just loves the challenge.  He sees chasing criminals--especially the intelligent ones--as a sort of chess game, moves of logic.  He loves the mental stimulation of cracking particularly good cases, just as he loves solving difficult sudoku puzzles.  

Age:  Mid-thirties 

Personality:  Liam is a very simple man.  For a guy with such an elaborate and complicated job, he is remarkably laid-back outside of the office (and even in the office at times).  He is quiet and thoughtful, but that's what makes him a good leader.  Everyone in the office looks up to him--waits for his opinion, even if it is just a nod of the head.  

Appearance:  It's hard to find Liam not in a suit.  He doesn't have very many of them, but he is always wearing one.  He is average height and has an average build and, really, most things about him are quite average.  Mouse brown hair, deep brown eyes--nothing that warrants a second look.  There is not really anything about Liam that is special--appearance-wise.  He is the type of person that can pass through a crowd completely unnoticed (coincidentally, this also makes him a good agent, as no one he investigates particularly pays any attention to him at first, especially when he's not talking).

Family-life:  Liam is married to a lovely woman named Aubrey.  She is only a few years younger but they have known each other since high school and have been married since their mid-twenties.  Their marriage is relatively happy, except that Liam job sometimes becomes a priority for him--leaving Aubrey with many hurt feelings.  In any case, they still love each other and any major conflicts are still hidden well below the surface.  The Torres' have two young kids, a boy and a girl.  The boy is five years old and the girl is nine.  The boy, nicknamed Tommie, is carefree and is a part of the local T-ball team.  The girl, named Jenna, is much more somber and aware of many things that children her age are not usually aware of.  For example, she notices that her dad is away at work much more often than the dads of her friends.  She also sees how her mom spends much of her time alone, and that her dad has never come to one of her piano recitals or Tommie's T-ball games.  

Life-goals:  Liam wants to spend the rest of his life doing what he is doing.  He loves his job and would never want to do anything else.
