Clueless street-level TNI magick detector on the trail of the Woman in Red.

Mr. Wharnsby was picked up by an unbelievably gorgeous woman in a red dress at a bar where he had gone after a failed blind date to get mind-numbingly drunk. After getting singled out by the woman she escorted him back to his place for several hours of unbelievable mind-blowing sex. In the morning she was gone. And so was his ability to get it up so to speak.

Apparently She had somehow stolen is ability to get ‘hard.’ Marvin soon became desperate to regain his manhood. At first he tried medicinal remedies such as viagra to restore his performance, when none of those cures worked he started seeing specialists. Despite his money nothing could be done by medical science even after getting a surgical implant, which did nothing to stem his bodies complete lack of interest. In the midst of these failures Marvin began to search for Her everywhere.

In the end he discovered two things: one was that he could get spontaneous erections in the presence of mindbendingly weird shit, and two when that weird shit stomps you down and ties you up with tentacles of slime for its blind mistress of pain to ritually sacrifice in a bath tub filled with ammonia, how lucky you are that a bunch of guys in raincoats and surgical masks chose that moment to break down the door, kill her, and rescue you.

Somehow Wharnsby managed to end up in the service of a secret army of hit-men, freaks, and lawyers. If only he could figure out how to get some action, things would be cool. Unfortunately he usually only experiences the proper stimuli moments before everything goes crazy which is incredibly frustrating to say the least.

Now, Marvin works for The New Inquisition as an occult dowsing rod. He has an unnatural talent to detect magickal disturbances in his general vicinity which is incidentally the only way he can get aroused anymore. He finds himself moved around a lot as different teams need to track unnatural creatures or home in on Adepts. He’s been attempting to arrange for a liaison with a female adept within the organization but has so far been unsuccessful at convincing his superiors of the need for hands on “research.”

Unlike many of TNI’s D-level recruits he has yet to actually need a new identity, and at least on paper appears to have been hired by a high paying corporate web-design company. He still has occasional if brief contact with his old life.

Personality: Marvin is driven by sexual frustration. He never had much of a sex life before he hooked up with the mystery woman but now that he’s seen how good it can be combined with his inability equal one

Obsession: Finding the Woman in Red (see LG&M page 79) so he can regain his manhood.

Rage: Repeated Failure. Nothing pisses him off more than screwing up twice at the same task, its humiliating and he can’t let it go.
Fear: (Helplessness) Being Robbed. He’s lost one intangible quality and fears what else could be stolen from him.
Noble: Quality Work. Though it all he still wants to prove the superiority of his work.
