yes he was! the only time he left was to attend college at northwestern. he recently turned 30 (last month) and can be a bit of a nerd himself. probably played dnd but hasn't in a long ass time. he's still getting his old self back together after an extremely toxic relationship that ended four years ago - she did a lot of damage to him so it's like putting a 10,000 piece puzzle together. he's got a dark/perverted sense of humor for the most part, loves to live life and was super bubbly/chatty prior to his relationship which is what he's working on getting back to instead of the quiet/reserved shell he is now.
