Name: Raj Velankar
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Role: Jeffery Pace's daughter's bodyguard
Personality: Of all the wet blankets in the world, Raj is the wettest. Born with a frown, serious, and lacking a discernible sense of humor, Raj isn't exactly the life of the party. He's made of determination, runs on order and neatness, and is loyal not to the man that hired him, but to the guild that raised him. Raj sees his protection detail as just that: another job. A bit cushier than his usual work, but a job never the less.
Appearance: Raj is 5'9", has curly black hair, medium brown skin, and a five o'clock shadow since he was 13. His style comfort; he enjoys loose fitted shirts and sweatpants, but will wear whatever he's required to. He has a large
brand that takes up the majority of his back. It shows the mark of his guild, with a wolf on the top left that represents his mentor, Mercury Wolf, and a tiger on the bottom right that represents his own code name: Tungsten Tiger. Every assassin has a brand similar to this, but modified to have their mentor's calling card alongside their own, signifying the importance of the mentors within the guild and passing on the tradition. Maybe some day, a pupil will have a tiger branded on them.
Other: Raj communicates through sign language, writing, or just not at all. He took a vow of silence at 17, and hasn't spoken a word since. His disapproving glares, however, speak volumes.
History:Raj was young when he was taken into the Guild of the Silence. This particular organization targeted street children, and raised them to be perfect, and expensive, assassins. Raj was just that: a child left to fend for himself on the streets of Mumbai. His mentor adopted him, brought him to the Silence, and raised him.
Raj was taught 12 different languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, Kurdish, Arabic, Swahili, Russian, French, and German. Then, just as soon as he learned them all, he was vowed to never speak a word of any of them. When a pupil of the Silence is deemed ready to go out into the world and perform, they must take a vow of silence. This vow signifies their loyalty to the Silence, and their willingness to keep the guild's secrets. Raj was 17 when he last spoke.
He now travels the world, working for different employers. However, they are just 'renting' him; his true allegiance lays with the Silence, and they will always have the final say in his actions.
