Syren Faraday

=• Background •= Little is known about "early" Syren Faraday outside of that he was born in Austin, Texas. His parents were killed in a car accident when he was quite little, and he was put into the care of the state. He was never adopted. In his early years, Syren took a quick interest in how things worked. Growing up he disassembled watches and radios and learned how to put them back together. By the time he was 9 years old, he could successfully repair most household electronics. In middle school, he took an interest in computers and networking - a natural extension of his earlier fondness for gears and gadgets.

By the time he was a senior in High School, he was employed at IBM in his hometown of Austin doing contract work on their internal networks. Upon graduating grade school, he attended Oxford University and pursued a Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science. However, he dropped out during his third year at Oxford and returned to the United States. He based himself out of Denver, Colorado and did contract networking and computer work for various companies in the area.

In 2002, Faraday was hired by the National Security Agency of the United States of America to assist in an ongoing operation. Little is known about his work with them, but he did travel frequently out of the country.

=• Legal Trouble •= In 2005, Faraday was found guilty of stealing trade secrets and conspiracy to commit fraud after working in conjunction with Daniel Tremeki during their tenure together at **REDACTED** to download and distribute plans for a highly classified prototype weapons system. Tremeki was a cooperating witness against Faraday in exchange for leniency. During the course of the trial, further charges were brought onto Faraday after investigation turned up at least 3 other thefts of intellectual property he committed at various companies. Faraday was sentenced to 3 years in prison, and 5 years of probation.

When Faraday was asked in court why he attempted to steal the plans, he responded that he "didn't expect to get caught." After his prison sentence, he returned to Denver. Shortly after, his apartment was found empty when his employer at the time noted his extended absence.

Faraday's current whereabouts and affiliations are unknown.

=• Appearance •= Faraday is a 5'11" Caucasian with brown hair and green eyes. He prefers t-shirts and jeans to anything else, and is often found to be under dressed, which does not seem to affect him. Weighing in at 180 pounds, Faraday is not particularly athletic, but not overly skinny. He wears black framed glasses most of the time, his eyesight having been affected by so many years in front of computer monitors.

=• Personality •= Known by many as quiet, when Faraday speaks, his words are often covered in sarcasm and wit. He is often thought to be cocky by those who know him, and shy by those who don't.
