History[edit]

Tim grew up in a crappy situation. His father, a washed-up high school football star who'd lost his chance at a college scholarship by blowing out his knee, was a nasty drunk, and Tim was a perpetual disappointment. School was no escape - there, he was one of the few white kids in a poor black school, and Tim's natural scrawniness made him a target for bullying.

Eventually, Tim learned the tricks to not getting noticed, and he learned them well. Then he learned that when people don't notice you, you can take what you want without getting caught. At 15, he ran away from home, and took to life as a small-time thief and pickpocket with surprising ease. Now, 4 years later, he's good enough and lucky enough that he hasn't landed himself a criminal record, while getting by through petty crime.
