CI >> Izzy Hallward
Say hey to Izzy! He is the proprietor of the local chow staple, Ruby's Diner. He also sets the menu, so leave an impression on him and you can be immortalized by having a sandwich or something named after you. He is a single father of two beautiful children. He hails from Tennessee, so his accent is probably just as foreign to Washingtonians (yes, I am afraid this is what we are called) as most members of AM's.

He is so suited to small town life! Be assured that he knows the name of his mailman, the checkers at the local grocery store, his bank tellers, all his kids' teachers, etc etc etc. He keeps track of facts regarding people without even trying to. He is totally a nosy grandmother on the inside, something his kids never hesitate to point out to him. He just wants to see everyone happy is all.

Izzy powered himself through some magical food poisoning and now has the ability of photographic reflexes. Which means if he sees someone perform a task he can perform it, too. It takes a lot of repetition to make the muscle patterns stick, though. He procures the drugs that keep him in control of himself from The Network and is doing his absolute damnedest to stay off of AM's radar. Somehow, in his mind, being connected to a drug-dealing black market is preferable to speaking with a government agency.

The Facts Were These:

1) He is on a first name basis with pretty much everyone who works at the nearest hospital. Watching all those parkour videos really set him up...
2) He owns the cutest dog in existence, an overweight bulldog named Ruby Belladonna. She's only a few years old but usually has to be carted around in a stroller/wheelbarrow contraption on account of her doggie asthma.
3) Izzy suffers from human asthma in a major way. And is a total dumbass when it comes to carrying his inhaler.
4) Is really domestically helpful. He can darn, knit, scrub, repair, cook, you name it. Generally, he's too tired to do any of that, but it is within his capabilities.
5) Speaks a liiiiittle Spanish, but aside from that, he only speaks English and Hillpeople.
6) Big Harry Potter fan. He got spoiled about Snape killing Dumbledore and still hasn't fully recovered.

Yeah. The archaeology program? Doing stuff like...reconstructing techniques used to farm the Negev desert. We're very useful.

Hey, I'm sure it'll come in handy for someone. No knowledge's worthless, right?

But... where's Negev?

Southern Israel. In the desert part. Negev is from a Hebrew root word meaning "dry", so it's quite a well named place...

It's what I'd name a desert. Only in English.

That's the cradle of our culture... right? I mean, I think the cradle was the fertile crescent, but that's near Israel. Or where... Canaan was? Maybe. Damn, I don't know, but it sounds like somewhere that should be studied to me.

I think it's funny.

Generally speaking it's placed in the Levant valley, yes. It's a place of great cultural and historical significance.

Funny on account of being so obvious? You might as well name a desert 'dry' if you're gonna bother naming it anything at all.

You said that better than I did. Well done. Hope you don't take offense if I send my son to wait your table. He'll probably learn more from you than I would.

I guess...but to people who don't know what it really means it's...kind of a pleasant surprise to find out.

I don't mind.

I bet. An easy one to remember on Geography tests, too.

Great.
