Allan Parker

Yeah, I never would have guessed that I would work for a large arms manufacturer. I do sometimes wonder if it is the right thing to do. But the work pays well and I like the people I work with. And really I still feel that I owe Ms. Lytton for the opportunity that she gave me.
— Allan Parker
Allan Parker is the chief security officer for Lytton Arms. He is responsible for the security of Lytton Arms employees and all of its assets.

Motivation

He is motivated by a desire to provide his parents and his partner with a good life that they can enjoy.

Personal History

Allan Parker grew up in a poor household with just his parents. As a single child he always had to go out to make friends. He is still great at making anyone like him. As he was the only polar werebear apart from his mother he was always careful to not reveal his supernatural nature. He had little trouble gaining control over his powers as his mother did well teaching him.

Career

Allan started his career as a bouncer in various bars and clubs in Brooklyn. His massive build and supernatural strength made it easy for him to make an impression. He was well known and always had a job for his good reputation. Allan looks scary to anyone who does not know him. He likely would have stayed on this path if it were not for a fateful meeting with Delma Alexandria Lytton. She offered him a job because of her curiosity of his rare ancestry. He was reluctant to take it, as it felt she just wanted him as a trophy. In the end he could not refuse as the money was just too good and his parents needed his support. At Lytton Arms he started out as a glorified doorman and sometimes personal bodyguard of Delma. Not that she actually needed the protection, but she wanted to show of her polar bear. This position was only temporary as Allan showed a real talent for security and management of people in security. With some additional training and studies Allan quickly rose through the ranks and became the Chief Security Officer at Lytton Arms at the young age of thirty four years. This stellar rise did create some animosity in the teams under him, but everyone came to respect him after working with him for a short while.

Relationships

Allan is a wonderful and very thoughtful partner in everything he does. I am so glad that he gave me a chance when I asked him out.   Back then I had just started working as a bartender at the club, where he was working as a bartender. He was flirting with all the woman who worked there and many of the guests as well. So I though he was a bit of a player and wasn't really interested. When I turned him down I expected him to persist, but he didn't. When I told my female co-workers about this they said I was crazy to turn him down as he apparently has never asked anyone out before. A few weeks later he offered to walk me home after a late shift during a bad time and I asked him out on a date for the next day.   Thankfully he accepted!

This article really captures a mundane and modern kind of magic, which I think is neat. You don't really expect his nature from the introduction, but it fits in seamlessly.

Oooo a werepolar bear! I really like that his initial reluctance to work for Lytton Arms was broken down by the desire to keep his parents comfortable.

Yes. I was first planning to make him a weregrizzly bear, but then I switched to polar bear.   Thank you for your comment! :)
