Name: Anthony Debenedetti
Nickname: Tony
Company Name: Debenedetti Consulting
Character Class: Special Forces Veteran
Character Background: Navy
How long has your character worked for OrionTech, Contracted with OrionTech, or What have you done to be contacted by OrionTech? He has been doing contract work on and off for the last couple of years. Since he knows his way around a ship and has underwater training, he's been a useful piece when full-time staff isn't available. He has recently been offered full-time employment, an offer he is happy to accept. He was on the consulting team for the medical bay and is a med pod tech specialist.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Hair: Black with a few flecks of gray, generally kept short. Tony will often wear a beard, though he has to regularly trim it as his facial hair grows rather quickly. His beard also has occasional flecks of gray or white.

Eyes: Dark brown

Distinguishing Marks: He has survived two bullet wounds. One was a graze to his abdomen, another lodged in his right leg. He has a number of visible tattoos, most themed after the US Navy and the SEALs in particular.

Description of General Appearance: Tony is tall and thick, and keeps himself in excellent physical condition. Broad shoulders and a small waist give him a 'V'-like shape, though his legs are solid and powerful. His complexion is typical of those from the Mediterranean and his Italian heritage is unsurprising for most when he mentions it.

UNDER THE HOOD:

Personality: Tony generally seems easy-going, though given what he's been through it's more that he doesn't have much concern for trivial matters. He has a tendency to brood a bit when left to himself, though he often breaks out of his pensiveness with a broad smile when he notices something that he appreciates. When in close quarters, he tends to be very talkative, though it takes some effort to discuss things that aren't important to his immediate goals or the goals of the team.

He tends to remain very calm, almost too calm, in most situations. This seems to be a product of training and difficulties in his personal life. In recent years he has discovered that his confidence and the way he puts others at ease is a good combination for sales-based work. He does seem to know how to turn sales-Tony on and off as necessary, and those that know him can certainly see and feel the difference.

Known Background:
A search on Tony's history wouldn't turn up all that much before about two years ago. He started a consulting company that has done contract work for OrionTech (among others). Anyone that can access his military records would know that he received a dishonorable discharge and did some time in a military prison. Details of the JAG Corps investigation are heavily classified/redacted.
