[ Alistair Vance ] — Fixer 🔎

°Style: Complete relaxed minimalism.
° What he wears: At home, Alistair completely strips off his "armor." No pretense: high-quality, loose-fitting hoodies or sweatshirts made of soft cotton in neutral colors (gray, beige), comfortable lounge pants, and warm socks (it gets cold in Scotland).
° Nuance: Since he has a severe allergy to cats, his home clothes are always perfectly clean of any microparticles, and the house itself is a model of sterility and minimalism.

° Style: Urban minimalism with a slight casual and military twist.
° What he wears: When Alistair sheds his work suit, he opts for comfort without sacrificing elegance. His standard outfit for cool Edinburgh weather: a dark cashmere turtleneck (black, graphite, deep emerald), classic dark jeans or chinos, and an iconic leather aviator jacket or a tailored English pea coat. On his feet, he wears suede Chelsea boots or chunky leather ankle boots.
° Chip: He almost always wears thin-framed sunglasses that hide his piercing squint.

° Style: Strict, impeccable business style (Power Dressing).
° What he wears: Two-piece suits made of fine Scottish wool, tailored on Savile Row, in dark gray or deep blue. Shirts are always pristine white or light blue, with the top button undone only in informal settings. On his feet are polished, hand-made Oxford shoes.
° Accessories: An expensive Swiss watch (for example, an IWC on a leather strap). An EpiPen is always kept in the left inside pocket of my jacket, and an expensive fountain pen in the right.

° Personality Core: A high-functioning pragmatist with icy composure, Alistair possesses phenomenal self-control. He's virtually impossible to anger or catch off guard. He sees the world as a chessboard, where every action has a price.
° Hidden Side: Despite his outward coldness, he has a strict internal code of honor. He would never compromise an innocent person for a client's benefit. He is a loner, keeps his distance from everyone, and his trust must be earned over years. If he considers someone a friend, he will take any risk for them.

° Voice: A low, velvety baritone with a husky edge. He always speaks quietly, never shouting. This forces people to listen, which subconsciously compels them to follow his tempo.
° Speech style: His English has a distinct, subtle, noble Edinburgh accent—he softly drawls his vowels and clearly enunciates his consonants. He speaks succinctly, without fluff, often employing subtle, barely perceptible irony. When the situation gets tense, his voice becomes chilling and completely level, which is more frightening than any scream.

° Full name: Alistair Gavin Vance.
° Official nickname: "The Shadow" or "The Surgeon." In the inner circles of large corporations and criminal syndicates, he is called "The Surgeon" for his ability to cut out problems quickly, calmly, and without unnecessary bloodshed.
° How he likes to be called: Just Alistair (for equals) or Mr. Vance (at work). He hates it when his name is shortened to "Al" or "Ali" and always coolly corrects those he speaks to.

° Studied: He graduated from the University of Edinburgh Law School, specializing in international and corporate law. He holds a Master of Laws (LL.M).
° Education: Master of International Law (University of Edinburgh).
° Profession: International crisis manager (fixer for the elite).
° Income: Over $350k per year + checks with many zeros for complex cases.

° Severe allergy to cats and life-threatening allergy to bee stings (always carries an EpiPen).
° Secret weakness: He can calmly negotiate or calculate complex combinations, but if a fluffy Persian cat has been sitting in the room before, our hero begins to quietly sniffle, and his steely eyes become traitorously red and watery. He has to carry antihistamines with him.
° The real danger: With bees and wasps, things are much more serious—he suffers from anaphylaxis. That's why he always carries an epinephrine injector (EpiPen) in his jacket pocket, no matter what. He might forget his keys at home, but he never forgets this injector.

° Age: 31 years.
° Birthday and zodiac sign: October 23rd. This is the very cusp of the signs—the Libra-Scorpio cusp (also known as the "cusp of drama and criticism"). From Libra, he inherited an analytical mind, a passion for justice, and grace, and from Scorpio, magnetism, secrecy, and a dangerous intuition.
° Birth time: 4:17 AM. The time just before dawn, when the night is at its coldest and darkest. People born at this time are often night owls, navigate the darkness well, and enjoy silence.
° Country of birth: Scotland (Edinburgh). A land of fog, ancient castles, rugged cliffs, and capricious weather. This explains his light olive skin (which rarely sees bright sunlight), tough character, and slight aloofness.

° Color: Deep steel gray with amber sparkles around the pupil. Depending on the lighting and his mood, they can appear either cool, like metal, or warm, almost nutty.
° Shape and cut: Almond-shaped, slightly narrowed eyes. He has a so-called "squinted gaze," which makes him seem constantly scanning his interlocutor, calculating the situation ahead, or noticing hidden details.
° Features: Very thick, dark and straight eyelashes that make the look even deeper and more shadowed.

Hair: Dark brown, coarse, slightly wavy. The cut features a longer top, slicked back, and a light stubble. Medium length on top with short sides (a classic textured undercut if pulled back into a ponytail). The hair on top is approximately 8-10 cm long.
Hairstyle: He usually combs his hair back or to the side, revealing his face and that scar on his eyebrow. But often, a few strands fall unruly onto his forehead, creating the look of a man who doesn't have time to constantly fix his hair.
°Facial Hair: A light, perfect 3-day stubble that highlights his sharp cheekbones and strong jawline.

° Height: 188 cm.
° Weight: 80 kg.
° Body type: Wiry ectomorph, lean, athletic figure.
° Figure: "Inverted triangle" (but a lighter version)
° Skin: Light olive; scar on left eyebrow and old marks on knuckles of right hand.
° Facial features: Sharp cheekbones, a strong jaw, a straight, thin nose and a deep, focused gaze from under thick eyebrows.
