Allen Whyte
Whyte is a computer hacker and empath, who can be used to assist player characters
if they have few or no computer skills. He has a certain amount of previous experience
in dealing with Dark Tek systems, as well as more mundane computer hacking and code
breaking. Originally the website designer for a small British company specialising
in business skills training, Whyte was drawn into a battle between a minion hunter
friend and a Dark empathic cell. He used his skills to get into the Darkling system
and scramble its memory cores, thus rendering the Minions unable to escape through
their portal. Ever since, Whyte has been active in minion hunting circles.
It was through his contacts that he learned about empathy, and realised his computer
talents were due to his possessing this strange ability. He has learned to make full
use of this power, but it is not 100% reliable. Still, it makes his life a little more
interesting. He has a ready sense of humour, and can often be seen reading paperback
books, usually techno-thrillers and modern horror. He is also addicted to card games,
especially the collectible sort. These help to pass the time when he is away from his
beloved keyboard. Strangely though, he is not at all computer-nerdish, just VERY good
at his job.
Allen Whyte is of average height, fair haired and wears spectacles with blue steel
frames and oval lenses. His usual dress style runs toward t-shirts with eye wateringly
patterned plaid shirts over, or sweatshirts in winter, and pale denim jeans with
Caterpillar boots. He is about thirty years of age.
Though Whyte knows something of the Dark threat and is willing to help in any way
he can, he is not a combat type. He knows how to use a pistol, but he will not do
so unless it is absolutely necessary to prevent a loss of life. His talent lies in
other areas of expertise.
