 Bio: Good old Marvin they called him within the ivory halls of the city senate building, Marvin walks among the good old boys club and is amongst the movers and shakers of city politics; though not long ago the world new this politician by another name, they new him as the Listener and would quake at the thought of ever encountering this founding father. The Listener is one of the original and most senior of the founders, this man would emerge on the shadows just after the Great Tragedy and would cement the path for many of his fellow founders. What turned a kindly old grandfather into a hardened runner can only be linked to the events that would transpire within Seattle during the Great Tragedy and the death of his family. The Listener once worked directly for the people as  freeholder and would fight for the rights of the people, as well listen to their complaints, concerns and worries; he was a rare breed in the political arena as he actually cared about the people of King county and would actually fight on their behalf. The Listener always had a big heart and would try his best to stand up for the little guy, as well as donate large sums of money to various shelters and food pantries to assist those citizens that where suffering to make ends meet do to the crumbling economy.

         Though for Marvin the events of the Great Tragedy, the Nights of Blood and the Purge would be too much for him to handle and he could not sit by and watch as the citizens of King County where being plundered, raped and butchered nightly by the rampaging natives, the non existent government and the corrupt law enforcement that all seemed more concerned with the appeasement of the Natives and not offending those that just declared war on the people of King County and America. Marvin would as well be forced to bury his entire family and watch as the life slipped away from his newborn grandson do to the magical assault and poisonous gases from the volcanic eruption. His home would collapse do to the record breaking earthquakes and his political career would end over night as Mr. McCarty would become a priority for the New Order to silence forever. In a blink of an eye the Listener’s life would be forever changed and he would either have to roll over and die, or stand and fight against the enemy; for a retired Marine surrender was not an option and that would mean he would take up arms and resist and bite against those that where trying to destroy everything he would hold dear.

        Well for Marvin returning to the warrior life at his advanced age, would prove to be far harder than he ever imagined, even with being gifted with longevity he would still be feeling the affects of his older frame. Though for the Listener this would just become a hurdle that he would have to overcome and prove that even the senior citizens could become a viable threat and should never be counted out. Well Marvin would show the New Order and the Natives that even a man in his late sixties could still be more than a handful and should never be under accounted. Though for Marvin he would be forced to alter his tactics and use his skills to the best of his ability, that meant he was going to have to use his charm, his perception, his wisdom and as well be far more stealthy than he ever needed to be in the past. He would also have to put his conservative Christian values on hold as he did when he served in the Marines, the Ten Commandments where about to be pushed aside and he would live by another code; for the Listener was fighting in a war and the rules of the game had just changed.

       For Marvin this was a serious life changing process, since he hadn’t been a soldier for over 30 years, he had become a God fearing Christian and was living what he thought the proper Christian life. Helping his fellow neighbour and turning the other cheek well during the catastrophes of 2018 Marvin could no longer look the other way and he had been pushed to far, the Bible talks about an eye for an eye; and Marvin was about to render the world blind for revenge and justice filled his soul, blood would be spilled and his values forever tainted as one of the original Wolf Pack members would take to the streets in 2020 armed to the teeth and out for revenge. Marvin would eventually cross paths with other like minded people and out of a necessity they would band together to form the first runner team, that would fight directly against the New Order and Natives eventually crossing over to the world of the shadows where the Pack would become the most infamous and notorious team to date.

       The early Wolf Pack members would band together to protect each other from the government assassins and rampaging natives that longed to put these European descendants into the grave, though the pack would live by the old Marine motto of “Kill them all, and let God sort them out!” so as the enemy would engage them claiming retribution for those they killed; the Pack would send them to meet their maker and thus create a very nasty cycle of violence that would be ever turning and would set in motion a trend that would mold and define Old Seattle for many years to come. Though for the Listener all this killing and fighting would eventually grow to be bothersome, as he would eventually see the infinite cycle that was being created and the divide of violence that would emerge within the pack. Even the mighty Wolf Pack would have it’s issues eventually as it’s membership would be divided between those with a conscience and those without; the Listener was one of those that actually cared and was tiring of all the bloodshed, he saw no end in sight and as the nation tore itself asunder during the Civil War, the Revolution beginning within the United Canadian American States and rise of Old Seattle the Listener would blame himself for creating a ever growing cycle of evil. He might not actually be to blame for the sins that would befall the nation and the creation of some of the worst monsters to ever lurk within the shadows, but he would feel responsible and a desire a way out of the war he created in his heart, mind and soul.

       Well during the early days of the runners and the war against the New Order and rising corporations the Listener and his fellow pack members would set the stage for those to come and as well reap the rewards of being the first, their bank accounts would increase and the blood would flow down the hallways and streets as the Wolf Pack would grow in reputation and power. Though for Marvin every time he would take a life, something inside him would die and he would begin to feel hollow; he was longing to return to who he once was but the Listener knew that Good Old Marvin was long dead and the Listener was born. This he knew was going to be what destroyed him and if that was the case then the enemy would actually win, they wanted Marvin dead and by proxy they killed him by creating the Listener. Marvin knew that it was time for him to bow out of the fight and after nearly three decades of murder, war, and burglary his soul was in jeopardy; Marvin would formulate a plan that would allow for the Listener to both fade away and as well open new doors for Marvin to return to the political arena. an area that he knew all to well, an area that would allow him to fight the New Order legally and with honour something that Marvin was starting to question within himself.

        Now according to records on file, the way he would go about this transition would be considered very underhanded and dishonourable as it would cost a innocent man his life, reputation and his families honour; though for the Listener this was an acceptable price to pay and seeing that the target was a loyal sympathizer of the United Canadian American States he considered it to an act of patriotism. His plan would be through cyber hacking at the hands of Pack member Misfit and direct assassination of a sitting city senator, the Listener would have himself then placed in the vacant seat. How they managed to pull this off and fool the electoral process is unknown, but the Misfit is a legendary decker and the Listener himself had become quite a legendary assassin and with the assistance of Stamps, Medusa, Postmaster and Ringmaster the stage would be set for his plan to come to fruition. The world would say goodbye to the Listener in 2053 and hello to Senator Randall Little in the same year, for the Listener it was a needed change and for the world of the runners it was time for the changing of the guard as the founders where stepping aside and allowing the young to fill the very large and bloody shoes left behind by the founding fathers.

          Now for the next twenty years the city would be under the watchful eye of Patriot and former Wolf Pack member who would combine his former political experience with his runner knowledge and live by the motto “Don’t Trust Anyone and Watch Your Back” these motto’s would come to save his life a number of times and as well allow for Senator Little to excel and become very popular with the people. He would fight once again for the people and stand up against the corruption that ran rampant inside the capital building. Marvin under his new assumed identity would begin to work on his damaged conscience and Christian values, knowing that he would never again be truly whole and knowing that he would never again feel the love of another women. He put his weeding band back on and masqueraded as a widower, not wanting to allow anyone into his life, to spare them the pain and suffering of getting to now the real monster that was hiding just skin deep, also he was still concerned about the war and he knew that his old enemies could come for him at any point and he would not allow for another innocent soul to be harmed on his account. For the Listener his natural longevity and genetic manipulations would allow him to forgo any further age related concerns and he would throw himself into his work, and within his new church trying to repent for his actions during Old Seattle.

          Well for Senator Little everything was going as planned and he was able to hide within plain sight, helping the war effort alongside other state senators that believed as he did, he was able to skate through the rehashing of many of the Wolf Packs crimes and even sitting on many committees hearing testimony from witnesses that would be turning states evidence over on the Pack and the other founders of the Old World. Even becoming the chairman of the Judicial Committee he would still be able to avoid recognition. Though for Marvin life was about to become a whole lot more complicated as the revolution was accelerating, the war in the shadows was escalating and the Wolf Pack was reforming to reclaim it’s spot as the dominate team and number one apex predators of the streets. Marvin would be torn once again as his former brothers in arms would reach out to him for they needed and wanted the Listener to return, they needed to avenge the death of their friend and ally the Chairman. Through the pressuring’s of the Postmaster, Medusa, Hook and Shadow Marvin would agree to return to the team under one condition he was able to remain within the shadows and he didn’t want to spill anymore innocent blood. They agreed and the Wolf Pack would be whole once again, Marvin managed to life a double life and stay clear of the camera’s eye, but again fate would not be kind to this old timer and the assassination of Mayor Robert Hill not long after the Battle of Seattle would force a change within the government, and with Randall Little’s identity cracked by nosey reporters. The Listener was about to be given a very public and commanding promotion that would only last a few weeks but as his commander Archibald Kingsbury would rise to Mayor, Marvin would handed the seat of Deputy Mayor of all of Seattle and King County not just a regional senator within the capital building. Marvin now fully exposed as the Listener had risen to become the President of the Senate and the second in command of Seattle. Kingsbury hoped that his political experience would combine with his military and the two could successfully command the city through the revolution, well between protesters, discontent within the senate and district mayors ignoring the pleas of the command. The new political team was almost destined to fail as they just didn’t have to time to establish themselves within command before the city was plundered a second time by the UCAS on New Years Eve causing the fledgeling government to crumble as the Mayor and Deputy Mayor would flee before being captured as city hall would come under attack by the UCAS forces.

        With the war now directly within his home and the people once again in danger, the Listener has returned to the streets and traded his business suits and ties for combat gear, he believes strongly within the ethics of the Old America and is a true patriot and will once again fight in defence of liberty and freedom for all. Though it is speculated that Mr. Harvard Little is non other then the Listener hiding once again in plain sight as he somehow again placed himself within the senate, though this is speculation but seriously the Listener can’t avoid the camera’s for to long and it will become quite apparent that we have the Wolf Pack once again infiltrating the State Senate Building as we have them corrupting the Seattle Police Department. The Listener is a career politician and original member of the Wolf Pack, this man has gallons of blood on his hands and has deceived each one of us for decades with the “I Care” campaign that we all fell for hook line and sinker, the man he replaced the first time was murdered by the Listener though no body means no murder, and well he is back in the senate this only means that someone else was recently murdered and is most likely the newest victim of the listener’s close friend and one of the founding Pack members the Digger. Guess what readers that body will never be discovered and we will have to deal with yet another corrupt politician connected to the Freedom Patriots that has the infamous Wolf Pack on speed dial.

      The Listener is no good and he never was, this man is living a lie and blames the government for destroying his life; well Listener you made a choice to forgo any sort of morality and assault the innocence of the United Canadian American states. You choose to forgo your own teachings and values when you entered into a campaign of revenge and became a blood thirsty monster that has been blinded by his racism and bigotry. People like you keep this nation in peril and you are the ones that refuse to see the writing on the wall, the times have changed and relics from the past are no longer needed; human beings are not meant to live for more then a century like you have. This is the reason we are being plagued by the ghosts of the past, these men and women have found away to ignore the greatest equalizer being a life span and not accepting the changes and flow of progress as you hold onto your antiquated ideals of what America should be and what America must be again; your honour has been lost and your reputation tarnished Listener do America a favour and turn yourself in and quit shoving your ideals down our throats; we stand for piece, diversity, progress and liberty for all within the United Canadian America States.
