Théo Perrier

> Yeah-- A guy as cute and hot like you has no better future than to become a slut, I believe you can earn much money with that ass of yours. Ever had sex with men? Boy I heard it's an amazing pleasure but unfortunately I'm not ready to switch teams, women are prettier than men in my opinion though.. you do look like a woman.

Théo Perrier is a main character in Gun Wounds despite being one of the worst enemies of the story. He is mean, sadistic, cruel and a huge bastard but he remains the one in power. Untouchable.

## Appearance

Théo Perrier is an average height and has messy long brown hair. He doesn't care about his hairstyle and is aware about his messy look. He always have huge bags under his eyes, some early wrinkles but also an ugly hooked nose. His face describes well his personality and the way he's taking care of himself says a lot about him. His skin is frequently covered with mucks but the only clean thing on him are his perfectly white teeth.

Théo don't care at all about his outfits and is often seen wearing hobo-like clothes even when he meets important people. He believes that having money doesn't mean showing it by wearing expensive clothes and prefers casual outfits like jogging and dirty t-shirt than classy tuxedos and white shirts.

## Personality

Théo has an obnoxious personality. He likes to bother his surroundings, he is arrogant, mean for free, sadistic and cruel. He does not seem to care about anybody and rather be a total trash to everyone than to try to be nice. He's never scared of anything, he uses people as he pleases and is always provocative with his enemies. He's not afraid of losing his men, he does not think they hold such value to the world and he always put the others on the front line.

## Story

**Early Life**

Théo is known to be the boyfriend of Roméo Grriatz's big sister, Éricka Grriatz, and is French just like them. He's apparently from the same city as them but very little is known about his past and how did he become what he is now. His main work appears to be a gang leader.

**Roméo's Debt**

In the third chapter of the story, in Théo's first appearance, it is said that Roméo is in debt towards him. Apparently, Théo lent him money to pay his for his law school for a while but he suddenly came back asking for a repayment of this loan. In the same chapter, Roméo claims that Théo is the one that brought him by force to Boston and this debt is the main reason as to why these two are in Boston.

**Couple Situation**

As seen in a few situations, Théo doesn't seem to care much about his girlfriend, Éricka. She is rarely mentionned but when she is, he talks about her as if she was a nuisance to him. He doesn't look in love with her either but he's not thinking about breaking up with her despite that. Because we don't know much about his situation, we can't say for sure that their relationship is going well or not.

**Relation to the Black Devils**

As said by Nick Carter, Théo is in control of the entire gang. According to him, he showed up one day to his door and threatened the whole gang by bringing a decapitated head to its boss, the victim was one of his acquaintances. After that, he never left this position of superiority and almost at the same time, he met Stella Johnson who wanted to put an end to David's life. As she already was some sort of Black Devils' member herself, it was easy for him to control her as well.

As an example of Théo's powerful supervison over the gang, Carter revealed in Chapter 14: An Ally? that Théo once killed ten of his men because he refused to do a job for him. Also, it is known (even by Carter) that Théo has moles in his gang to spy on the thoughts of the members to prevent from a possible mutiny (as said in Chapter 16: TaraDara Night Club.). Apparently, Théo is aware of most of the Black Devils' secrets doings that could grant them several years in prison, which constitute a reason why Carter can't carry a rebelion against him.

**Tangled with David Martinez**

It is still unknown why does Théo wants David Martinez dead so much even if there could be plenty of reasons. When Carter gave his opinion on the question to Michael Blake in Chapter 12: Excuses, he said that he believes Théo is from a rival organization and that would be why he needs to kill David. However, no further information were given.

And as to why he wanted Roméo to do the dirty job of killing him.. it's also unknown even though Roméo asked him this question in Chapter 40: The Plan is On (Part 1), Théo just replied: "Who fucking knows! Maybe I like torture that's all!" which Roméo answered in his thoughts with "Bullshit..". This answer is obviously too evasive to be true and Roméo seems to have some leads on the answer.

**Gang, Organization or Lone Militia?**

In the first Arc, many people tried to describe Théo's crew's situation. Some called it a gang, other would see it as an organization,.. but no one really knows who or what they are exactly. Théo seems to enjoy having this veil of mystery over his true identity though.

### Arc 1: Welcome to DrugCity

Théo appears for the first time in **Chapter 3: Debt** in a cafe where he called Roméo to join him. During their conversation, Théo explains to Roméo why he brought him in Boston; he must kill David Martinez to repay his debt. Knowing Roméo is broke, Théo intentionally ordered him to work for him as a repayment.

After that, he leads him to the back of the cafe where he meets Nick Carter, another criminal researched by the police after breaking out of the police station during the hold up led by Danny Fidga.

During Carter and Stella Johnson's conversation in the bar in **Chapter 9: Explanations?**, Carter mentions Théo, implying Stella and them have been working together for a long time. He also underline Théo's position in comparison to them (affirming Théo is in control and above them).

When Carter begins to talk seriously to Michael Blake inside **Chapter 12: Excuses**, he tells him about Théo. He says that Théo is the reason why Roméo came to Boston, that he ordered him to kill David Martinez for an unknown reason and affirms they both obviously hate Théo. When Michael asks him for who Théo is working for, Carter answers him that he believes Théo is from a rival organization of David Martinez but his hypothesis remains unstable. He also says he's not really on Théo's side but can't shout it in broad daylight because he's afraid of Théo's reaction.

Carter calls Roméo to come to Théo's villa in **Chapter 14: An Ally?**. Théo originally called Roméo to help him choose the best outfit for his mission at TaraDara Nightclub but when he discovered that the text Roméo received was different from Stella's, he understood right away what David wanted from him.

He starts to provoke him about his feminine looks, saying he would be a perfect prostitute and also insults openly his big sister. Later, he reveals that Stella's phone is controlled by him and chooses not to do the same for Roméo because they are "brothers". After giving him information on the people he'll have to deal with at TaraDara Nightclub, Théo sends him away and Carter sticks with Roméo.

Roméo manages to get James Willow to talk and he explains his link to Théo Perrier throughout **Chapter 16: TaraDara Nightclub**. According to him, Théo found him high outside a bar and offered him a job, being a snitch in the Black Devils, in exchange for all the drugs he wanted and an alibi to consume them when he wants to. James refused right away but Théo threatened his sibling, he was forced to accept.

However, one man from David's gang learnt about all this and offered to James a protection from Théo in exchange for selling his drugs to him. James chose to accept and is now researched by Théo.

At the end of **Chapter 19: Nice Nice Days** Théo calls Roméo and Stella at a night bar in the Black Devils' district to show them the bombs they are going to use to take down Alban Carruci's business. He looks awfully proud to give them the most dangerous bombs on the market despite the reactions of Carter, Stella and Roméo who are categorically against his idea. He also orders Carter to participate in this mission.

The next day, Roméo mentions Théo in **Chapter 20: Plans and Feelings** in his conversation with Stella about her recent change of mood that is related to the dangerous plan he proposed to them. Towards the end of the chapter, Théo is mentionned one more time during Carter and Danny's conversation. Carter warns Danny about David Martinez' current doings in the industry and pursue by saying: "[...]I hate to say that but we are actually blessed to be under Théo's protection[...]" even though he will later say that the coast of this protection is that he cannot do anything to help Danny because Théo controls his every move.

In this conversation they evoke the nickname "Traitor" given by Théo to describe Danny and his behavior, though little is said about the reason, it appears that Théo tried to control the Vanguard 36 but its leader didn't chicken out and had the courage to stand up against him. However, when Carter asks him: "How many guys have you lost again, Danny?" he didn't answer, meaning his rebelion coasted him numerous lives.

In **Chapter 22: Slow Opening**, Théo finally meets Michael, Alexander Quinn and Owen Patland (but under tense circumtances). He suddenly appears at Roméo and Stella's improvised party in the warehouse to celebrate their victory while screaming that they did well on this mission and that the drugs the Black Devils found got sold for a lot of money but his festive mood rapidly fades when he realizes that they invited policemen to their celebration. Even though the reactions of Quinn and Patland were not as explosive as Roméo expected it, Théo interupts this short confused moment to bring the light back to him.

He asks once again why did they brought policemen there and finally, Michael stands up to answer him properly. He says that they're rotten and looking for a few jobs but Théo doesn't seem very interested since he already has a lot of moles in the police force. By making him remember their reputation, Michael manages to convince Théo to take into consideration their job request but very quickly after that, he leaves the crew, saying that he has some business. When he left, Carter was relieved.

The morning following the party at David's, in **Chapter 25: Flourishing Affection**, Roméo and Carter meet in a cafe to talk about pressing matters. As he threatened him to search it, Carter finally gives Roméo the information he needed. However, Carter was quite surprised that he asked him to make deep researches on Théo whereas they know each other quite well as they're from the same town. When he gave him the papers, he warned him: "There are indeed a lot of things I found but most of them are useless or meaningless details".

Later in their conversation, he decides to ask him why did he want him to search information on Théo and Roméo replies that they may be considered as "family" because he's his brother-in-law but he hates him very much, he even calls him "The Devil". After that, Roméo loses his cool in his monologue saying that he stole his freedom, his sister,.. he confesses some of his fears and how everything is Théo's fault but finishes by saying that he wants to win his freedom. He ends up leaving Carter after that.

## Relationships

* Corry Afton - Their relationship is mainly boss/subordinate but Théo might see him as more than an "employee", maybe a friend.

* Roméo Grriatz - Théo seems to be faking his affection towards Roméo and despises him almost as much as he does. He tends to call him "brother" to annoy him and likes to drag him around but the need to claim their link as "brothers" seems to matter a lot to Théo.

* Nick Carter - Théo's relationship with Carter is as bad as we think. Théo hates him a lot but enjoys playing the good friend with him to tease him. He likes to be holding power above the Black Devils and enjoys seeing Carter struggling to break free from him.

* Danny Fidga - Their relationship is nothing but conflicts but Théo seems to enjoy hard teasing Danny. Théo likes to dominate him and to have the feeling of crushing others' hopes and dignity under the sole of his shoe especially Danny. He is well aware of his hatred towards him but somehow Théo likes to think that they could become friends later.

* Stella Johnson - Théo sees Stella as a nobody, he treats her as he would treat a simple slave and uses her to do his dirty work. He knows perfectly that Stella hates him and he enjoys really much playing with her. He does not care about her situation and likes to be in control of her mind.

* James Willow - Théo is actively searching for James since he managed to disappear from his sight for one year and a half. He wants to retrieve his favorite snitch.

* Éricka Grriatz - His relationship to Éricka is mostly unknown but from what he said to Roméo, he seems to be manipulating her as well. He treats and sees her as a piece of meat and looks interested in her body only. We don't know if he truly loves her.

## Attempts of killing/harming

**Failed**

**Succeeded**

* Roméo Grriatz (kidnapped to Boston)
* Nick Carter (taken over)
* Black Devils' members (strong pressure)
* Mikiko Yamada (rape/threesome while unconscious)

## Trivia

* Whilst searching for the perfect French surname for Théo, Bleakeas recalled the last name of one of her literature teachers in high school named "Perrier" and chose to give it to Théo.

* Even before creating Théo, he was already meant to be an evil character and one of the biggest enemies of the story. His shady backstory was decided while writing the story.

* He is the character Taido404 despises the most, he is even the one who chose to make him evil.

* His weird relationship with Roméo Grriatz was decided around Chapter 13 and we saw his strange way of "flirting" in Chapter 14. Even though Théo is described as heterosexual, he sometimes behave in a flirty way with men (Roméo, Carter, Corry,..)

* Fun fact about Théo and Éricka's relationship; it was mentionned by Roméo that they filmed sex tapes (and he even watched them).

* His fake chic looking style may be perceived as old-fashioned and dorky but in fact he is very popular with women and is apparently good in bed.

## Poems

'Inner Creatures' Poem:

"To you

Emerging from my darkest places,

I cannot look at myself without thinking of you

But I crave for your strength

I see you in my mirors

I see you in reflections

I forged you unconsciously

I can't get you out of my head

Thank you."

'Devil' Poem:

"He's the Devil of the Circle

and we need him we need him

as I drown and lose

Track of the memories

I had shared with you

but we forgot how to live

as he eats the little life we had left."
