Jansen Renard is a spook. Pure and simple. In his element, he exudes competence. He dresses well. He speaks in ever-veiled innuendo. A scholar. A gentleman. A man of mystery. His weapon is his mind, and he's not afraid to use it.

Involvement[]
Rumors tend to float around, you know? Word is that "Jan", as he introduces himself, is something of a nice guy. Which makes you wonder why the hell he'd be out in a place like this, right? He seems educated, but, man, a guy like him in a place like this is just asking for trouble. And from the sound of it, he's put down roots. Often commuting between the mainland and Midian, he appears to be a professional. His shirts are pressed. His shoes are shined. He is every part the business man, and from the look of him, business is good.
Hobbies[]
Jan enjoys:
- Jazz Piano
- He sometimes can be found practicing in the Basement, on the upright piano on the stage.
- He mainly plays west coast jazz and bossa nova, sometimes venturing into modal jazz, and interpretations of Baroque classical music.
- A background search on him may bring up youtube-like videos of his playing as a young man. He seems quite good.
- Parkour
- Jan is a traceur. When he isn't injured, he likes to run over obstacles and rough terrain. this, potentially, might get him killed someday.
- A background search on him may bring up youtube-like videos of his running as a young man. There are a couple spectacular stumbles, but he moves with agility and grace.
- Alcohol
- His drink of choice is gin.
- He takes his cocktails seriously.
- Tobacco
- He craves Gitanes Blondes, sadly unavailable on the island.
- Firearms
- He views guns with a certain necessary disgust.
- He keeps a well-maintained Smith and Wesson Model 29, with a three inch barrel and a hammer shroud for concealed carry.
- He lusts after the SIG P239-40-SAS. It is one of the few firearms he has ever thought of as sexy.
