History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: Gene is a model of the earnest young man that has his teeth into a cause and will not let go. What personal demons or event put him on this course is not known, but Gene is determined to live "Justice for All". Gene takes enough pro bono cases to keep him from ever getting truly rich.
Gene's highest profile case was representing the Vista City Catman and his family. Steven Ashby in a stoke of genius hired Sylow to represent Diter and family, figuring it was better to have the earnest, loud pit bull for you than against you. It worked. Gene turned around and became the Cat People's shield against the world. Gene proved that when it benefited the client, he could and did keep quiet. The SIS and Bureau 13 have called on Gene several times since to handle legal matters that require prudence. Gene has defended clients before the 13th District Federal Court as well. As long as civil rights are observed Gene has no problem keeping proceedings quiet.
With the political fallout of the Samantha Deering Sex scandal a number of people have suggest running Gene for political office. Gene is running all right, the other way.
