Levi McCullum & Sienna McCullum

When Tyson was sent to an auction on business for the web, he never expected his evening to end sandwiched between a married couple in their hotel bed, but since that day, the former Lieutenant has learnt not to question the enigma that is Sienna McCullum. He has a feeling that Levi McCullum learnt a similar lesson much earlier on.

The face claim for Levi McCullum is Colin Farrell & Sienna McCullum is Alyson Hannigan.

On paper, Lexi McCullum is a talented pilot and mechanic, and Sienna McCullum is a well-respected non-fiction editor who met when their paths crossed on separate childhood holidays in Belarus and fell in love immediately. Theirs is the perfect feel-good romance that Sienna moved to non-fiction to avoid having to trudge through.

While it’s true that they met for the first time on separate childhood holidays in Belarus, that is where the accepted story and the truth part ways amicably, before the truth shoots their fairy tale in the back.

Thirteen-year-old Sienna was there with her mother and father, Lina & Franklin Tremblay, to serve - as she always did - as their alibi if anything went wrong during their heist, but little Sienna wanted to be a bigger part of the family business and took it upon herself to start robbing from rooms at their hotel to prove that she was ready.

She was not. As luck would have it, Sienna was saved from the fallout of her attempted burglary by an eleven-year-old Levi pretending to have set off the bugler alarm himself and allowed Sienna to hide in his wardrobe. They spent the rest of their holiday together and became pen pals to stay in touch.

The promise to write was the last time that Sienna heard Levi’s voice, as a string of illnesses eventually caused irreparable damage to Levi’s vocal cords, and nearly took the rest of Levi down with it.

Though they kept in touch throughout school and college, it wasn’t until their mid-twenties that Sienna & Levi met once again. In the interregnum, Levi had earnt his masters in engineering and pilot’s license then begun working as a plane mechanic, whilst Sienna had taken over the Tremblay theft & forgery business after her parents retired.

They eventually married and moved to the US together, with Levi finding satisfying work repairing vintage planes for pay and Sienna forging documents and smuggling goods to her contacts back in Canada. Then one of her contacts had their eyes set on goods in Europe, which led Sienna straight into the Moriarty Mirrors’ arms.

Sienna had made a name for herself as a smuggler, several in fact, and whilst there were no tells in her forgery work, it was the similarities in how those forgeries found themselves in the appropriate places - and away from the Mirrors’ own hands - that allowed the web to track her down.

An ultimatum was given, presented as an offer that neither McCullum were foolish enough to fall for: Work for us. Or don’t. Your choice.

And thus, Levi & Sienna found themselves in London. Sienna creates forgeries and smuggles for the web, whilst Levi has become one of the most trusted and reliable pilots within the web. Primarily, he works with Sienna to ensure their cargo gets where it needs to be, but he has also been known to fly to the rescue of the more important pets of the web.

When in the pilot’s seat, Levi is perfectly in control and none could ask for a better pilot. When literally anywhere else, Levi is a danger to himself and everyone else who shouldn’t even be trusted with safety scissors. Even the calm cool that he possesses in flight disappears, replaced by an adorably love drunk fool trailing around after Sienna like a puppy, hanging onto her every word.

In fairness to Levi, however, Sienna is an incredibly compelling person. She knows how to phrase even the most mundane fact into an incredible revelation. Where she capable of containing her wanderlust and staying put for more than a month, Sienna would have made an incredible politician.

Billy Ramsey

The face claim for Billy is Halle Berry.

Tyson and Billy are working from a point of Mutually Assured Destruction.

If Delaney doesn’t feed her tips about criminal operations in competition with the web and any corporate corruption rumours that come his way, she’ll expose his true career to the world; endangering those he loves. If Ramsey doesn’t keep quiet about his work, he’ll ruin her career by reveal where her information came from; and stopping the funds going to her daughter, Pepper.

Neither are cruel people. Neither Tyson nor Billy want to hurt the other, and the people in their lives, like that. However, it’s a fact of their arrangement that the danger in there on both sides. Frenemies is the best way to explain their relationship. They get on well enough, but here will always be a rivalry to their interactions. Trying to out play each other: Billy trying to get more information out of Delaney, Tyson trying to lead Ramsey’s attention towards enemies of the web.

Though Billy is now a freelance reporter - primarily investigative, and current events to pay the bills - she got her start in the fashion columns. A passion that never truly went away. Whenever Tyson sees her, Billy is wearing at least one new item. She doesn’t wear much jewellery, usually only earrings, but she seems to have a different hat for every day of the year. Whilst vests and tank-tops are fine, Billy has a hated of t-shirts that she’s never given a straight answer to Tyson about.

“Ha, get it? Because I’m-”
“Yes, you’re a lesbian. I know, Billy.”

As such, Tyson had ended up being ‘gifted’ innumerable t-shirts from the various events and conventions that Billy has covered. Rarely something Tyson would wear of his own volition, but they come in handy when he needs a disguise for a role: for himself or Lex. Mercy be the generic unisex medium sized t-shirt standardisation.

When Billy was little, her father used to call her a ‘silly, billy, little goat’. It was a name that stuck around. Her twin brother Oswald apparently also had a similar nickname. One she refuses to tell Tyson, claiming that it only makes sense if one sees Oswald’s reaction to it and Tyson has yet to meet the older - “But only by, like, two minutes - so it doesn’t really count.” - Ramsey twin.

Before their rivalry began, Tyson met her whilst walking his dogs, as a fellow night owl wandering around Bushy Park. They bonded over a shared sense of underwhelming disappoint over that name, a dislike of alcohol, and a love of autumn, though Tyson can’t match her love of Halloween. On that first night, he also learnt that she hates every type of bug and insect.

Since then, Tyson found out that she loves hot chocolate with whipped cream and hates tea with a burning passion. He took her took adopt her cat, a three-legged Abyssinian Cat called Quip, because she doesn’t shut up. Ever. An adventurous cat who cares more about playing than cuddling, and meows even whilst she’s asleep. Quip is missing her back left leg entirely, seemingly from birth, and lacks hearing in her right ear due to infection from years living as a stray.

Billy has a daughter, Pepper, who is currently attending Cambridge University to study zoology and archaeology. She only applied as a pipe-dream, knowing that she could never pay the tuition. However, when Pepper was accepted by the university, Billy refused to let her give up such an amazing opportunity for financial reasons.

Knowing his history with the university, Billy went to Tyson, willing to beg and plead, to hand over every scrap of evidence against him. None of that was necessary. Tyson was happy to use the family fortune to pay for Pepper’s education. So long as Pepper completes her education, and Billy doesn’t expose him, Tyson will pay for her tuition and any expenses.

He ran from the family legacy of teaching mathematics at Cambridge, but - in his heart of hearts - Tyson will always be a scholar and he loves Cambridge, both the city and the university. He has a kind heart, and goes out of his way to do good to atone for the work he does for the Moriarty Mirrors. Even if Tyson will only admit to the first reason, Billy knows the whole truth.

Billy and Quip are a perfect pair, in that neither will ever shut up for all the gold in the world and yet - somehow - it is impossible to stay mad at either of them. Billy may ramble ceaselessly, but she’s so genuine in her words and so enthusiastic in her explanations that Tyson finds it impossible not to get drawn in by her energy.

Arlington & Alinson

Professor Arlington and Alinson are the people who call Tyson in to guest lecture at Cambridge University.

Professor Arlington is one of the professors in the mathematics department. He helped teach Tyson when he attended the university and, prior to that, knew Tyson through his father, when he visited the Delaney Family Manor for one of the late John Delaney’s garden parties. Towards the end of those gatherings when Tyson’s social anxieties were flaring up, Professor Arlington used to distract Tyson by playing a game of chess against him. Now every time Tyson comes to Cambridge to guest lecture, it has become a tradition that the pair play at least one game of chess against each other.

Professor Arlington is a skinny, tall man who’s hair is grey-white and balding on top. His back and shoulders are usually hunched, after years bent over a desk, but his kind smile fills up his entire face. Ink from fountain pens almost always covers his pale hands. Years of laughter crinkle around brown eyes, behind his half moon spectacles; which Tyson suspects may still be the same pair he wore back when Tyson attended Cambridge

Until they were introduced by Tyson’s former military-history professor after one of Tyson’s guest lectures, Professor Alinson and Tyson had never met. Professor Alinson is head of the economics department. They struck up a strong rapport over a shared love of numbers and dogs. When visiting Cambridge, either to guest lecture or to visit Jasmine, Tyson makes sure to share a coffee with the quick-witted Professor and his overly affectionate brown poodle.

Professor Alinson is a Hispanic man with a thick, heavy Arizona accent. He keeps his head shaved, but has a goatee throughout most of the year, letting it grow out into a short, curly brown beard during the winter months. He is a large man with a laugh that fills any lecture hall. His left hand was amputate following a childhood accident. It’s not uncommon to find the Professor writing at his desk, with his removed prosthetic working as a paperweight.

Alinson’s poodle is called Riker, after the Star Trek character, and Arlington keeps Koi fish in his garden. Riker is rather determined to catch one of Arlington’s Koi fish, but finds himself thwarted by the fact that he’s terrified of the water jet in the middle of the pond and thus cannot go anywhere near when it’s running.
