Think Hannible, or Gingas Khan, with rabies and alzheimers. He's smart,
tough and people with die for his very whim, but he is loosing his mind and
control of his body, and he knows it. If he has implanted skills of any
kind (either reflex recorders, or hardwired skills), they may trigger at
random moments, or his reflexeses may run into overdrive one turn then
splatter into nothing the next, or his memory may start failing (In the
middle of a gun fight, this little five year old voice comes out of this
big, mean merc "Mommy? Where are you Mommy!? I'm scared!!".). Basically,
have fun with it. If the people at the table aren't looking at you like
you are crazy by the end of it, it means that they have already called the
little men with the white truck and the jacket with fashionably long
sleeves.
