Hi guys! Shan here again, bringing you a second character: Duke Crocker from the show Haven. Duke is a petty criminal/thief/smuggler/sailor/bar owner from the town of Haven, Maine, where strange things seem to happen every day, conspiracies and cover-ups are the norm, and pretty much all his friends have bizarre and dangerous curses on them that crop up every 27 years. (If you haven't guessed, yep, it's a Stephen King adaptation.) So, Dualis is going to be not that odd for him. Just substitute bizarre tech for bizarre magic and -- no he'll still be pretty lost.
Still. This smartass dork rolls with the punches well enough to go from small-time con man/smuggler to unofficial police deputy, and most of those cases are things like "trees are murdering people and no one knows who's controlling them" and "one of my friends has been killed and replaced by a shapeshifter." After sticking with his cop friends through so much weirdness he's pretty good at detective work and in talking information out of people, and he'll try to de-escalate or talk his way out of trouble first and foremost. (Never burn a bridge if you don't have to, right?) While he can be really annoying he's also the type who'll know when you're down and show up with food and an optional listening ear. He's your dude if you like good food, good drinks, good company, and good stories, but expect him to file away what he learns about you and draw up some contingency plans for later.
Just pray he doesn't get his hands on a ukulele.
I've got his permissions here, please take a glance at them and comment if you'd like me to avoid anything in tags or would like to opt out. I'm really excited to be playing him here!

And Duke will probably be interested in both your guys! Although probably more wary of Hank because he's a cop. And of course Duke is going to be more interested in the ageless immortal weird guy with multiple names. That's oddly comforting.
