Neo Lancer City
Profile
Lean and pale, seemingly of Hispanic descent, Jordan has brown close-cut short hair. His left eye, and original eye color, is a deep hazel. His right eye has been replaced by a mechanical one and allows him to see things that cannot be seen otherwise (infrared, metal scanner, night vision, etc.) as well as being able to access certain databases. A scar runs down from the right socket, presumably a faded memory of the attack that took his eye. He wears a pair of dog tags around his neck almost religiously, they appear to belong to himself and his deceased partner.
After an undercover mission went wrong, resulting in the death of his partner and the loss of his right eye, ex-mercenary Jordan Cortex retired. Well, that’s what he’d like to think, finding home in Lancer City. Wishing to have a quiet retirement, he started working as a bartender and bouncer at a local pub. He was eventually taken in by The Don, owner of the Goodfellows Pub and one of the most powerful people in the city. Jordan proved himself to be an excellent underling and worker. He now acts as the Don’s eyes on the pub floor, reporting on everything that happens using his mechanical eye. He wants to be useful to his bosses. He’s a strong drinker with a high alcohol tolerance. He learned many things from his job and eventually became a brother figure to his adopted sister, Eden, whom he'd do anything for.
The family met challenges, but Jordan felt confident with them by his side. After the events of Lancer City, Jordan married Rob Tenenbaum, whom he was dating at the time. They now reside in the city. Jordan is employed by Eden, who has taken charge of the family business after the Don's retirement, acting as her secretary and bodyguard.
Fiercely loyal, Jordan has the personality of an exemplary mercenary. He’s calm and collected in stressful situations and has the capacity to negotiate. He’s docile most of the time, tending to stay quiet rather than get involved in small talk. He’s dependable and consistent. Jordan shows little to no emotions whenever talking or interacting, occasionally cracking a grin when something interests him. Respect is highly regarded by him, and tends to gauge people on a scale of that. Despite his seemingly passive nature, he’s not afraid or hesitant to commit acts of violence if ordered to by a higher authority. There seems to be an emotional side to him that he prefers to hide away, perhaps as a defense mechanism.
