Subject: CHAR: Xavier Desmond
[I decided that I should give equal time to everyone in the Wild Cards
books, so I'm going to also be presenting an assortment of jokers and nats
(all taken from the GURPS Wild Cards books) in an attempt to 'fill out'
the universe.]
Xavier 'Des' Desmond
Designers Notes:
Xavier Desmond is a large man, standing 6' tall and weighing 180 lbs. He
was born in 1917, and was afflicted with the wildcard virus when Jetboy
fought Dr. Tod over New York in 1946.
He became a joker, having a two-foot
trunk, complete with seven fully functional fingers, in place of a nose.
He lost his wife, his job and his home soon after. Moving to Jokertown,
he found work at the Funhouse, eventually becoming the owner.
With time,
he founded the JADL (Joker Anti-Defamation League) fighting for joker's
rights. His work resulted in his being called "The Mayor of Jokertown".
Xavier died in 1987 (at the end of WildCards Book VII).
