My Story
Guy Mann, 45, a private investigator for Richard Dickson's private investigations INC. Lives on the Isle of Man, although was hired to investigate the case of a missing child on Jersey at a carnival.
Lied about his age and sex to fight in the war, and received surgery and improvised hormones during his time on the front lines. As well as this, he and a fellow soldier, Andrew, shared a close relationship, which ended as a result of a charge into No Man's Land. Guy returned home due to shell shock, and spent some years in recovery, where he became involved in private investigation.
During his time as a PI, Guy met Buster Samson, a Pinkerton detective on leave in britain. They share a friendly rivalry, which has slowly developed into something more, although neither of them can admit it. Buster occasionally offers Guy hideous items of fashion as a way to "liven up his wardrobe", which is filled with smart black and white clothes. Guy takes these gifts to heart, wearing them out of spite. The most recent gift, is a bright blue Fanny pack.
Guy enjoys hunting as a hobby, as he doesn't use a gun in his daily life and job, he sometimes needs to find a way to get back to a small sense of his old life.
