The Spider

Mr Aloysius Creel

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Spider is an uncomfortably gangly individual, with long arms and legs that bring to mind his arachnid namesake. His teeth are crooked and his skin is blotchy, and prematurely wrinkled, giving him a somewhat sickly appearance, belied by his unusual strength.

Special abilities

Spider has the ability to exude a contact poison through the pores of his skin. This poison is a slow-acting paralytic which he can smell on a person over long distances, usually allowing him to stalk and prey upon them in their sleep should he wish.

Apparel & Accessories

Spider is most often seen wearing his favourite green-on-green pinstriped suit with matching hat, often with a cigar between his lips.

Mental characteristics

Employment

The Spider is the owner of the Six-Nines burlesque club, but his primary income is as an information broker. Creel has set up an intricate web of informants and spies across Bathala City that bring him information about all manner of public officials, criminals and even superhumans, which he sells on for large sums of money.

Accomplishments & Achievements

The Spider was responsible for outing Blue's secret identity to the public.

Intellectual Characteristics

Spider has a surprisingly astute and vindictive mind, able to weave subtle intrigues with little effort and knowing when the application of force is or isn't required. His schemes have managed to carve him out a sizeable niche in Bathala City's organised crime community.

Morality & Philosophy

Spider is an opportunist first and foremost, and believes that the only way to survive in the cutthroat world he's found himself in is to exploit the weaknesses of everyone who might give him trouble. Over the years, this has evolved into a deep appreciation for secrets, both keeping them and divulging them as it suits him.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Spider is motivated solely by self-interest and self-indulgence. He enjoys feeling powerful over others and profiting off of that dynamic, funneling all his wealth back into his club and his lavish lifestyle.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Spider has a line directly or indirectly to almost every person of importance in Bathala City, regardless of whether they consider him a friend or foe. He's always looking for ways to expand his sphere of influence, be that through people owing him favours, or his personal preference, through having blackmail material on them.

Mannerisms

Spider has a disturbing habit of licking his lips and teeth as he's speaking with people. There's debate as to whether it's subconscious or an intimidation tactic given the rumours of his supposed cannibalism.

Speech

Spider speaks with a raspy growl interspersed with chuckles and pauses to moisten his lips.
A cretinous information broker and supervillain who operates out of his burlesque club "The Six-Nines".
