Halton Milo-Hall

:"This isn't normal, Amos. Do you even know him?" - Enquiring about their twin joining the UNWD.
Halton Milo-Hall is a private detective and newspaper photographer, and the identical twin sibling of UNWD agent Two-Time. They are far more skeptical and cautious than their twin, leading to some disagreements about the latter's antics.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Halton is five feet and nine inches tall, with a curvy but athletic frame. They have blonde hair and peachy skin. They wear a long dark coat most days with matching straight-legged slacks and a loose white pinstripe shirt. They usually wear slightly lifted shoes, boosting their height by two inches. They have blonde stubble on their chin.
===Personality===
Skeptical and cautious, Halton prefers to know all the details about a situation before proceeding rather than trusting blindly. They are pragmatic and highly practical, sometimes hesitant. Despite this, they have a terrible curious and empathetic streak, meaning if they hear something that piques their interest, they'll often find themselves unable to let it go without learning more - a trait that can sometimes lead to trouble.
===Skills & Abilities===
Being a normo, Halton has no supernatural powers, but is highly intelligent by way of sharp deductive reasoning. They're also excellent at conflict de-escalation and are a powerful liar, capable of perfectly suppressing tells.
==History==
Halton gained notoriety after busting a scandal at their secondary school in Coursebury while working as the student newsletter editor, involving a student head of year stealing a printer-photocopier machine piece by piece over the course of a few months. They broke the news via a 'special edition' featuring hundreds of photos of the crime taking place, which did lead to the theft being discovered, but also led to some asking why Halton didn't ring the alarm on the act earlier, to which they couldn't really answer - they just wanted to see where it would go next.
Following their education, Halton would work as a junior editor of various newspapers around the Couresbury-Slotham area, briefly considering work in New Trashton, before a devastating raid on their uncle's jewellery shop led them, their twin Amos and their cousin - daughter of the deceased jeweller - Lovett - to travel across the country to try and find answers regarding the mysterious gemstone that had been left in the carnage. During this time, an overnight stay in coastal Thrallwick proved the seaside town to be the ideal place for Halton to set up their own private practice.
They stay in close contact with Lovett and Amos, the latter relationship consisting largely of Halton being skeptical and unsure of Amos's new 'job' in 'security'. Halton also works as an anonymous photographer for local newspapers, recieving payment via cheques hidden in crab pots after dark, and also in crabs.
==Relationships==
===Amos Milo-Hall===
:“You're unbearable, and you're going to get stabbed. What goes on in your head?”
Although Halton and Amos are close, Halton is eternally exasperated with their twin's carefree nature. While they'll berate him if he gets into trouble, they're always on stand-by to get him out of it and say that they told him it'd happen. They are currently investigating his new 'job' off the clock.
===Kit Warrent===
:"You're a sharp one, Kitty.”
Kit Warrent, a Canadian journalist having moved to Thrallwick, is Halton's assistant in investigations. She'll often gather the basics of cases while they finish up the prior job to give them a headstart, aid them in covering more ground, or grab their payment from the crab pots on Siren Bay.
