Personality/Quirks
Bodkin enjoys people. How they think, how they interact, they never cease to entertain him. Cheerful and amiable he is easy to talk to and to like, though there is something about him that stops people from going so far as to call him friend. He generally comes across as the kind of person you might enjoy having a business lunch with. Someone who is fun and easy to relate to, but who you wouldn't plan on seeing again.

This is probably due to the fact he doesn't actually care for individuals as people. To him, they are just parts in one vast complicated machine. And he's the engineer. Even so he is not cruel, he hates to waste interesting individuals, and there are some who he'd go out of his way to help out. If you can prove your worth.

Outside of direct conversation Bodkin is a perpetual tourist, not truly belonging anywhere but never standing out where he happens to be. Easy to forget and easy to ignore, he's just part of the crowd.

Interests/Motives
Bodkin has been hired to destroy the current regime in the underworld and in the process create as much chaos as possible. He doesn't know why the people who have hired him want this, nor does he care. He only cares about getting the job done. And with so many gods and dead souls running around this should be easy, right?
Bodkin likes to take things one step at a time, so though he recognizes the fact that he is dead and may not have a concrete way to get back to living once the job is done, he isn't worried. That being said he is keeping an eye out for anything that might get him breathing again and able to spend his future well earned cash.
Finally, Bodkin is always looking out for contacts and connections that can come in handy for future jobs. It is always good to have a god or undead who owes you a favor, and he's willing to help out to earn one.

Abilities/Skills
Bodkin is a master of conversation and persuasion. He understands people and how they think. He also sees the bigger picture, how crowds and populations may react to certain events and triggers. With the right people doing the right things in the right places, he can cause anything from revolutions to genocides.
Though he rarely does any of the hard work himself, Bodkin is by no means harmless on his own. He has spent time in the military and several different government organizations. While no means a warrior or professional fighter, he knows enough hand to hand combat to beat down your average street punks. He is also trained firearms and can rig up some nice home made explosives.
He knows how to play the guitar and has a collection of rare whiskey in a storeroom in Germany.

History
Not much is know about Bodkin, or where he came from. He spent some time in the American military as well as several covert ops groups. On a dare he brought down a dictator in the South Pacific and afterwords went into business on his own.
Known by only a few people in the whole world, he sold his skills to various governments and businesses. If you needed a company, regime, or even a whole country brought low he was the man to call. He has been hired to stabilize an interested parties influence in places as well.
Between jobs Bodkin traveled the world, enjoying himself at resorts and tropical locations. Now he hopes to pull off the biggest job of his career and retire in style.

Manner of Death

Bodkin was killed with his consent in a mock ritual using an advanced nerve agent. Is was painless, though a bit odd feeling.
