His hair is kept short and slightly slicked back, more grey than black. Agon also has a strong chin and could either be called ruggedly handsome or craggy, depending on your perspective. Dark suits are his dress of choice, and he always looks like a class act. Characteristics: Magnificent bastard, amoral, charming, smooth talker, sharp dressed man, player, intensely focused, mastermind Likes: Games of all types, coins, knives, older model cars, jewelry, gambling, bets, amorality, evidence of planning, manipulation, charm, winning, cheating Dislikes: Refusal to play, losing, unsociable individuals, enforcement of moral standards, lack of class, lack of foresight/planning ahead
Shrine: A stainless steel pillar, about three feet in height. There is a slight indent at the top, perfectly shaped to roll dice in without them falling off the side. Placed at the center of the top of the pillar are two dice, both black with white pips. Ritual: Blow on the dice and roll them, to catch Agon's attention.
