Here’s a sneak peek in to the work being done for our new title, Project Garefowl! Each Friday we’ll try to post new work or info about the book as we get closer to it’s release. Today is a nice look at one of the main characters, LCDR Robert Byron, via his character sheet. Enjoy!
LCDR Robert Byron, US Navy
Age: 39
Height: 5' 6"
Job: Project Garefowl Lead, WestPac
A career military man, originally a Tomcat pilot, Byron served during Desert Storm. Unfortunately, while in the Middle East, he pissed off a senior officer above him and ended up getting assigned to "guard the purple water fountain"—i.e., Project Garefowl. But thanks to other officers, who felt he did the right thing, he still retains his flight rating on the Hornet.
Robert is "King of the Rolodex", knowing a lot of people in a lot of places. He has a big sweet tooth and can often be found at his desk sucking on a See's Candy Pop. In fact, a fair part of his diet is made up of sugar. While being a straight-faced, honest person, he's got the gift of the gab, and can easily socialize while probing people for info. He can think very quickly on his feet. While being something of a skeptic, he tries to see the good in people and acts accordingly.
He still misses flying his Tomcat though.
