Editing Character:Martin Appleby (section)

==Personality==
Martin is not a man given to frequent strong emotion or spontaneous impulse.  He is a study in self-control, channeling his motivations into long-term plans and slow burns.  He answers insult with retribution and seldom turns down a challenge, though he will execute it on his own terms-- to him, it doesn't matter whether a challenger gets the tar beaten out of them or is merely humiliated, so long as they understand his supremacy.  He is not a particularly warm or emotionally open person, but he is also a fair one-- sometimes mercilessly so.
