Alright kiddies! It is I, Vicki (aka maledwards), and I've brought in a new were. Meet Ed Riley, Desmond's cousin. He's a born werebear (Kodiak), hailing from Oregon and beta of the Lost Pack. Yay.
He's a former CIA agent, so he'd know the ins and outs of the government (and still has connections with them that he uses for his own benefit, hush hush) manager turned owner of the Aurora Bakery and freelance writer for the paper. Even with the agent past, he's a goofball and a really nice guy. And loves to eat baked goods. Can he bake himself? Hardly. But he has a mind for business, and there are other people who can do all the hard labor.. plus it would be good to sell edible food.
