Eugene Merz

**Eugene Merz** is the biologist of the Against Evil Allegiance, and he is tasked with a mission to save the world from the Wraith, known as *The Biologist* in Season 5.

## Against Evil Allegiance

As a member of the Against Evil Allegiance's small biology department, Eugene is among the best, and works hard to get the stuff done.

He joined the Against Evil Allegiance back in 2015, around that time he heard rumors of a organization that fights the evil, and curious, Eugene went online to drop a mention of this secret organization, to see if anyone knew anything about these rumors. No one did, however Connor Fawkes picked up on this and after he spoke with Eugene and learning his motivations, he invites him to the AEA. Eugene accepts, but he has gained a fear of Connor Fawkes from that day forth.

## Background

Born in 1992, Eugene is 28 by the events of S5, which take place in a destroyed timeline. Eugene was born in Japan despite his family being predominantly British. But he was born in Tokyo and loved there his entire life

In 1996, he met his first and oldest friend, Karimi Sahara, the two are closer than some family members. The two confide in each other, help each other out, and support them among other things.

When Eugene joined the AEA, he didn't tell no one, it was a.secret organization, and not only that, Eugene wasn't too keen on the very likely dying part of many AEA missions no to stop the Evil, and liked to play support for it

Of course in 2020, S5, Eugene realises his error and is 100% willing to go to hell to fix the timeline and save everyone in it, including his family and oldest friend.

Eugene is a Biologist, but he's ready to sacrifice everything to save the timeline, to save the world, even though he himself is well aware that he is most likely going to die

## Relationships

### Zachary Burton

Zachary Burton and Eugene are slight friends. The two met when Eugene and Karimi were checking out a old, abandoned house in Tokyo, Japan, when Zachary came in, to do some research about the very house Eugene and Karimi were in. Eugene and Zachary bonded a bit here, although, Karimi hought Zachary was a bit...weird.

### Madison Silvestri

Eugene and Madison have a solid friendship, the two have bonded over coffee, and even Eugene's knowledge of plants, for..some reason.

### Oliver Stone

Eugene himself doesn't have a relation with Oliver, aside from being aware he exists, but Oliver does admire his steadfastness and calmness

### Matthew Howard

Eugene and Matthew have a small friendship, but they aren't really that close.

### Brendon Burns

Eugene and Brendon respect each other, however, they don't know each other that well.

### Lilith Rosestone

Lilith and Eugene have a decent friendship, nothing else to really say.

### Max Stratos

Eugene and Max know each other, but aren't really "friends" because the Biology department doesn't work with the Occult department all tha often, so Eugene and Max don't really interact too often, which Eugene regrets upon the mission to hell

### Levi Everton

Eugene and Levi are aware of each other's existence, but that's about it

### Daniel Fulmer

Daniel and Eugene have a small, but professional friendship prior to the journey to hell.

### Connor Fawkes

Eugene and Connor have a purely professional relationship, both seeming to respect the other, which is why Eugene is going to hell, to help save the timeline. However, Eugene is also afraid of Connor referring to him as Mr. Fawkes, and wanting to do anything he can to not get on his bad side.

### Pierce Cromwell

Pierce and Eugene don't know each other that well. Eugene doesn't really go to the Occult department too often, and doesn't interact with Pierce all that often, so Eugene barely has a opiion of the suspected vampire, something he feels kinda guilty about.

He also believes he's seen Pierce Cromwell before.. at some point before the mission

### Karimi Sahara

Eugene's childhood friend and partner in crime, Karimi and Eugene have been through a lot of things together, becoming almost inseparable. It should be noted that Eugene's dagger was given to him by karimi before he left for New York. Back before the timeline broke, Eugene and Karimi were semi-well known in Tokyo for solving problems and exposing the truth about things every now and again. It should be noted that Karimi does not know that Eugene is in the Against Evil Allegiance, for Eugene kept that secret fom her because he knew she'd join it, and could be in danger occasionally.
