R. U. Reddy

"*So, I'm a little reckless -- so what? As long as we get paid...*"
―Winthrop Roan, Jr.
**Winthrop "R. U. Reddy" Roan, Jr.** squandered much of his wealthy father's money in high profile loose living. When his father gave him an ultimatum, he began a career in rock music, but he soon gave up on it in favour of motorcycles--a move that prompted his father to cut him off completely. The brash and outspoken Winthrop joined Team America in an effort to earn enough money to pay his father back.
