Arson
Arson is a nickname inspired by the crime that landed him in the compound. Arson is unique in that he didn't trade his life away in exchange for the cure, and he wasn't rescued from the ruins. In fact, he was born a Citizen of Iris, and his mother is a high ranked member of the Prophet's Voices. Upon setting a fire in the city of Iris in a foolish attempt to destroy it, his mother arranged to have his Citizen tattoo cut from his body and for him to be cast into the compound. He hates his mother and his origins and refuses to disclose his birth name to anyone.

A toothy grin, often goes weeks without shaving, and has a small triangular burn scar though people often forget it given all the other burn scars covering his body.

He's embarrassed by his ties to his mother Catherine , and the fact that he was ever considered a Citizen.
Mental Trauma
Being in the compound and Division 7 comes with a whole lot of trauma on its own, but Arson carries a lot of skeletons from his young childhood. His mother never really loved him, and put all her time and effort into her scientific research, and trying to become pregnant with another child. Despite her attempts, she never had another son, and so despite Arson's attempt to burn down Iris, she argued to have him locked up rather than killed. He's the last of her bloodline, and that's the only value he holds to her. Were she to conceive again, she'd have him killed before the child had a chance to draw its first breath.

Arson sort of binges and purges in terms of hygiene. When he's feeling good or has his sights set on a new sexual conquest, he's generally ruffled, but clean. But when he's feeling angry or down, he goes wild and very quickly gets scruffy and unkempt.
