Makes-Things

Makes-Things is the head technician of the Department of Sufficiently Advanced Technology. Many people think he is the Head of Department, a position actually held by Hornbeam the Ironwood.

Career
Makes-Things was born in Busan, South Korea. He was with the PPC longer than any other non-Flower, making gadgets for the Organisation, and then for the PPC. However, he is described as a young man at the time of the Original Series. His pet peeve is agents blowing his devices out on uncanon. Makes-Things is one of the few people in the PPC, if not the only one, to possess a sonic screwdriver.

He had an assistant named Fix-It, but since Fix-It's creator, Fireblade K'Chona, requested that no one else use him and has herself moved on, he is presumed retired.

Abilities
While Makes-Things is known for being easily startled, terrified of the Assassins in particular, and by no means a good field agent, that is hardly what he was hired for. Makes-Things' skill with machines and technology is nigh-on legendary in the PPC, as is his irritation when agents manage to thoroughly abuse his works. In particular, he shows an affinity for working with plothole technology and portals; his most notable work in that field was accidentally causing the plothole chain-reaction known as the Cascade and thus single-handedly creating a sizable chunk of HQ, and he later showed a special affinity for handling portal equipment, even after it had been exposed to prolonged Sue influence.

Makes-Things invented most of the technology agents now take for granted, such as the remote activator, the combined CAD, and the DORKS, among others. Thankfully, he is also something of a pack rat and neat freak, keeping meticulous files and making incredibly detailed blueprints, which were a great help to his home department in overcoming the massive hurdle created by his death.

Death and Return
When the League of Mary Sue Factories unleashed the Macrovirus Epidemic in March of 2008, Makes-Things duplicated TARDISes for the agents in the field. He remained behind when quarantine was declared, defending his lab from the viruses and actually managing to outright destroy one before being incapacitated. According to word of mouth, a Security Dandelion discovered his body and reported that he was stabbed through the heart.

The fact that no one witnessed the actual stabbing event led some agents, notably FicPsych's Head Nurse Suzine Sachs, to theorize that he was not really dead, just taking a well-earned vacation. The body was, of course, a decoy to throw any pesky agents off his trail. However, most of HQ mourned him for the better part of three years. He has a memorial stone in New Caledonia, DoSAT was fitted with its new, tougher Makes-Things Memorial Blast Doors, and the Makes-Things Fund For Abused Technology was founded in the wake of the tragedy.

In 2011, however, Makes-Things was encountered by Agent Supernumerary in DoSAT, whole, hale, and thoroughly unconcerned by his supposed death. When questioned about it, he responded "No! I think I would know if I was dead!" It is unknown whether he actually was dead and somehow resurrected, or if, as Nurse Suzine theorized, he simply vanished and has now chosen to return. Either way, he still doesn't like Assassins and gets irritable when people damage his CADs.
