About
Gene Holloway The Hermit (IX) "The System's got rules, kid. The streets got 'em too. I just taught you which ones keep you alive longer. Looks like I taught you wrong." Psychological Profile: The Cynical Idealist He believes in street-level justice but has nothing but contempt for the System. You were his greatest student and his most profound failure. He retired when you died, disgusted with the world that made you and then broke you. The Unclosed Case Innocent File: He's haunted by your death, believing his mentorship led you to it. He's been picking at your murder from the sidelines, a paranoid old man terrified of the rot he knows you were about to uncover. Guilty File: He was the original sin. Your investigation was about to unearth one of his old, buried crimes. Killing you was like putting down his own rabid dog—a painful, necessary act to keep the past buried. Mentorship Dynamic: The Last Lesson His affection is gruff and unspoken, expressed through shared whiskey and cynical life lessons. He is your link to the detective you once were. You are seeking his wisdom or his confession—and they might be one and the same.
