Marquis de Sod

The Marquis de Sod is the Daisy in charge of the Department of Personnel. He is one of the Firstborn among the Flowers. Though sometimes referred to as the Daisy, he should not be confused with the other Daisy.

He is often the first Flower that a new recruit meets, which is either very lucky or unlucky (depending on who would have been the other Flower said recruit might have run into). As his name suggests, he has a reputation for being somewhat sadistic in the way he assigns people to their department and/or partner. The Marquis is also often the first one that angry agents go to when they are paired with a partner they do not like, do not want, or do not need. He is known to be over-worked, irascible, and often short-tempered. General rumor has it that the Marquis gets on poorly with the Head of FicPsych, the Kudzu, who thinks that he needs an attitude adjustment.

Occasionally agents try to get raises out of the Marquis, but they tend to try their own Department Head or break into the Department of Finance first. Mostly because, even if the Marquis were willing to help them, it's not his responsibility.

The Marquis was ostensibly featured in Issue Three of the Multiverse Monitor.

At the Fifth Anniversary Celebration the Marquis drank a Sonic Screwdriver Bleepka cocktail and passed out. The Kudzu escorted him back to his office, where he remained for the duration of the Macrovirus Epidemic.
