Well-Built But Ugly Man

The **Well-Built But Ugly Man** is a prominent field agent of the Silver Hand, tasked with acquiring Bingham's bomb alongside his partner, the Lithe Woman.

## Biography

### Early Life

Nothing is as-of-yet known about the Well-Built But Ugly Man's early life. He appears to have received military-style combat training, particularly with ranged weaponry and at some point joined the Silver Hand.

### Chasing Bingham's Bomb

Partnered with the Lithe Woman, the two were tasked with personally acquiring the bomb created by Edward Bingham and sought out Le Blaireau in Notus for information on it. However, a team of ICA agents had beaten them to it and used Le Blaireau's intel to stage a prison break at the Iron Citadel, escaping with Bingham before the duo had even met with Le Blaireau.

Despite the ICA's further attempt at interception, the two were able to acquire Le Blaireau's intel with help from Emmett Buck, as well as additional information that helped them prepare their next move. Preempting the agents' discovery of their base in Notus at 883 Bartholomew Court, the duo left an explosive behind the door, along with a magically-written message saying 'Let The Games Begin'.

Realising they had left Bingham unattended, the agents hurried back to the Wandering Eye inn, only to find Bingham where they left him. Anticipating an attack from the Well-Built But Ugly Man and his partner, the agents travelled to Suuk in search of an entrance to the Underdark, where Bingham had claimed the bomb was hidden.

### The Underdark

Despite the agents' believed safety, the Well-Built But Ugly Man and the Lithe Woman had somehow already learnt that they were going to the Underdark via the Alvari Mountains and had made their way through the King's Mine entrance and past the cave monster to an abandoned drow city where they lay in wait. As soon as the ICA agents arrived, they attacked, utilising their respective skills to battle all of the agents at once as they attempted to take Bingham.

### Death

The Well-Built But Ugly Man was last encountered by Bluebird's Team within Monarch's ship. After initial contact with a Monarch robot, the Well-Built But Ugly Man and his accomplice were set upon the team for a final time. Although he managed to deal some significant damage to the team with his alien firearm presumably supplied by Monarch, he was eventually overcome by the team. After taking multiple blows from Freth and Bolo, his partner was killed by the team. Being outnumbered, he was eventually magically held in place by silk, enabling Lacey to administer the final blow. In his dying breath, he attempted to reach for the body of his erstwhile companion before dying. The team found a matching pair of lockets on their bodies implying that they had a child together.

## Personality

Very little is known of the Well-Built But Ugly Man's personality, though it is possible he is quite intelligent. This is indicated by him and his partner's ability to stay one step ahead of the ICA, as well as their employment by the Silver Hand in the first place (which may also suggest a more nefarious or self-serving attitude).

He does appear to be quite focussed and dedicated to his mission, focussing on acquiring Bingham and avoiding the ICA rather than fighting them head-on.

## Abilities

The Well-Built But Ugly Man is, as his figure implies, rather well-built. His physical strength may imply he is a somewhat skilled combatant or may be compensation for his short stature. His proclivity toward ranged attacks and the scar on his chin may imply he is not as proficient in melee range or hand-to-hand combat. His and partner's avoidance of close-range combat during their battle with the ICA is also indicative of this, with them both choosing to leave the area rather than fight one of them.

However, he is clearly a very skilled marksman, capable of striking Bingham with an arrow from over two hundred feet away. He is as proficient with his musket as he is with a bow and managed to deliver several devastating shots against the ICA.

## Equipment

* **Musket**: The Well-Built But Ugly Man possesses a musket, which he used in the battle with the ICA.
* **Bow**: He also possesses some kind of bow, which he used to fire arrows at the ICA and shoot Bingham.
