Scott Logan

Scott Logan is an Agent in the Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species (ESAS) division of the Department of Floaters. His partner was initially Agent Entropy, with whom he shared RC 8.3145, although he is currently partnered with Agent Kern, and was temporarily partnered with Agent Riboflavin.

Appearance
Logan is a human male in his early twenties (he would be 24 according to HST, but time in HQ remains much more fluid than on World One).

He is boyishly good-looking (it rankles him that some people assume he's 17 based on looks alone), with mid-brown hair (usually unkempt and bedraggled), blue eyes and very pale skin, as if he had never seen the sun in his life (not far off true, actually). He stands roughly 5'11", a fact he frequently uses to Entropy, who is significantly shorter. At various stages during his PPC career, he has sported long hair and a goatee. The other agents of ESAS are almost unanimous in their opinion that this was a Bad Idea.

Personality
Logan, like all many in the PPC, is insane.

Mostly, Logan is easy-going, if somewhat annoying, with a tendency to natter on about random topics almost completely unconnected to the subject of any conversation at hand, coupled with a flippant sense of humour. However, Logan is usually kept in this mostly-harmless state by copious amounts of iced tea, deprival of which sends Logan into a homicidal frenzy (a warning sign of Logan being iced tea-deprived is when his left eye begins to twitch). At PPC social events, he usually switches to Long Island Iced Teas, quickly resulting in a drunk (but happy) Logan - with predictable results (see issue nine of the Multiverse Monitor).

He is very definitely not a morning person, and any visitor arriving at the RC early in the diurnal cycle of HQ is likely to be greeted by an irritable and sarcastic Logan.

Logan has a mongoose fixation, and operates the PPC Mongoose Shelter in RC 2816, (assisted by Kepler, a tub of sentient peanut butter that sings songs about Walruses). So far, they've succeeded in breeding flying mongeese in many different colours, including a tartan-patterned mongoose, further proof that science can do anything these days, no matter how pointless or wacky.

He is a keen (and reasonably accomplished) violinist and violist, and intensely dislikes being interrupted while playing. If interrupted, violence usually results. Logan has a natural attraction to long and/or pointy implements - hockey sticks, swords, and chopsticks being just three examples. Unfortunately, this natural attraction was not accompanied with commensurate natural talent, and his initial attempts at swordplay proved both ineffective and dangerous for any bystanders (Agent Kern, a Jedi, remains traumatised at the memory of Logan's first flailing attempts to spar with a lightsaber). After long hours of (enforced) practice, Logan has improved to the point where Entropy no longer automatically takes cover whenever Logan picks up a sword, although it's still probably a good idea to run whenever Logan picks up a lightsaber.

Logan is the proud owner of Isengrad the Mini-Balrog.

History
Logan was recruited from a world very similar to World One - differing only in the presence of some additional land masses and countries, from one of which Logan hails. Logan was recruited in early 2005 HST, and was assigned Agent Entropy as a temporary partner, initially working in DMS. Entropy's previous partners had not lasted beyond one mission, but Logan's flaky nature turned out to be an adequate foil for Entropy's controlling tendencies, and the Marquis de Sod made the partnership permanent.

Logan and Entropy completed an unspecified number of missions for the DMS during 2005. At some point during Logan's DMS career, he and Entropy came to the attention of the Strangler Fig, and were transferred to ESAS in late 2005, completing at least one mission before their first chronicled mission (the Scourge of the Scarlet Maiden). During 2006, Logan played a central role in the Les Miserables Songfic Crisis.

After the retirement of Agent Entropy (early 2008 HST), Logan was briefly left without a partner, and was temporarily paired-up with new-recruit Agent Riboflavin. However, after the marriage (and subsequent retirement) of Aegis and Alagos in June 2008 HST, Logan was re-partnered with Kern.
