## Biography

### Personality

Much like Eli, Dezmond too is a very sarcastic person. He frequently makes a lot of quips and jokingly insults his friends. He gets called a jack-ass a lot because of this. Dez is also a ladies man/womanizer who has had several partners over the course of his career.

### Appearance

Dezmond has dark hair with a grayish "five o' clock" shadow beard. He often wears black colored clothes with a red shirt underneath. Dez uses his outfit to carry his weapons, either on his belt or in his jacket.

## Background

Not much is known of Dezmond's early life other than that he was born in Scottish to a witch mother. It's also known that he's a descendant of Samantha Withers, a vampire huntress during the Victorian Era. Growing up Dez was always fascinated by the occult & the supernatural, which led to him studying Demonology.

### Early Career

Dez had many "odd jobs" during his early career. He worked largely for shady individuals who wanted dead or captured demons for their own purposes. At some point Dezmond started working for the Catholic Church/the Vatican, performing exorcisms.

During his time with them he'd met his first major "enemy", the Mouthless Demon(actually an angel in disguise), a demon who'd gone on a murder spree. He'd already a woman named Parvati Singh, his weapons dealer and close friend by then.

### Solo Career

Dezmond has been working mostly alone for at least 3 years. During this time he came into possession of the Sword of Hell, a magical weapon used by the devil himself. He battled through hordes of demons & stole the sword for himself. He didn't leave completely unharmed though. Some time during the 2020s, Dezmond joined a team then known as EVROPA (now The Internationals) and became a semi-permanent member of the team. He'd also meet both of his "girlfriends" at this point.

## Abilities & Powers

### Combat Skills

Dezmond knows some basic hand-to-hand combat skills. He knows how to kick and how to throw a punch. Dez is also skilled in knife-throwing & firearms.

### Sword of Hell

His most powerful weapon is the Sword of Hell. This sword once belonged to Satan himself, but somehow Dez managed to steal it. Whenever he wields the sword, his arm transforms into that of a big demonic arm. This arm is much stronger than the other.

## Relationships

### With Avenging Angel

His first "girlfriend" was AI-Mystress/Avenging Angel. Although she was madly in love with him, he never truly felt the same. She was "too sparkly" and innocent for him. He did however, see her as an ally & still cares for her. When Lady Lawless called her "the worst", he took her side instead; although he did agree with her that she was sparkly.

### With Lady Lawless

His relationship with Lady Lawless is complicated. On one hand he thinks she's attractive and prefers her less sparkly look. On the other hand however, he finds her creepy. Everywhere he went, she'd follow, always trying to seduce him in the process. This seduction seems to only work whenever he's around her. It's likely he stays with her for only two reasons: because she's attractive and to save his own life.

### With Others

His oldest & closest friend would have to be Parvati "Parv" Singh. She started off as his weapons dealer and remained by his side since then. Fleur De Lis, a founding member of The Internationals (formerly EVROPA) is both a battle partner and drinking buddy. They're both mostly street-level heroes with experience dealing with the supernatural. When they first met, Dez tried to kill Phisto upon finding out his father was a powerful demon. He soon put the fact aside & realized he was useful part of the team.
