Bernard Martain Williams

Bernard Martin Williams is the head and founder of the Motor Car Society
=== Bio ===
Born in 1947, Bernard Williams got his first job as a pump boy at his parent's filling station. While there he found that he could make more money by charging normal costs for petrol but only provide 1/4 of what was paid for. In his teen years he had been known to come out at night and steal heating oil from people's oil tanks with large oil drums. If anyone should get suspicious of his nightly activities, he would shift the blame on poor individuals in his school by planting evidence of the crime in their possession. Many of whom are still serving long period prison sentences because of this. 
Bernard made his big break when his uncle, Rover Lander, who was the black sheep of the family, introduced him to the black market of motor vehicles. Once he had saved enough income from his parent's work, he left to make his fortune by working for his Uncle and later developing the Motor Car Society. 
His dodgy dealing lead to several claims being put against him, but these claims were later found to be 'mistakes' when the claimers mysteriously vanished and the paperwork for the lawsuit had been filed in an unknown location. 
Now in his 70's, Bernard continues to operate his business with an iron hand and is often known to be bad tempered whenever a crisis comes around. But even when he is in a good mood, which is often very rare, he is known to throw random tantrums. 
One of Bernard's trademarks was that he is always seen smoking a cigar. The cigars were of his own creation for the tobacco that is used was of a source that nobody is able to trace and is seen to give off plumes of thick olive green smoke. It is noted that Bernard smokes a good deal of these cigars a day and a high demand for them is always needed. Nobody is sure how many he smoked, but it was mentioned in one story that he had just lit "...his 25th that morning..." Whenever he is cooking up a scheme he likes to engulf his whole head within a cloud of his cigar's smoke, which he claims helps him to think better. When an idea does come up he would emerge from the cloud so fast it would catch you off guard.
