+A character indirect to the text; not part of any of the narrative's action but:
+
+* Mentioned numerous times
+* Part of [ETA](/places/ETA) legend
+* Allegedly his suicide footage is buried with [Himself](/characters/Himself)
+
+Story goes:
+
+He was an average-at-best tennis player, and but he was "independent" and
+otherwise unheard of. Then he started playing matches with a Glock pistol
+pressed to his own temple. He beat opponents this way, but was not really
+recognized in the rankings (despite the trophies). Then Reconfiguration happened
+and the new ONANTA administration *actually ranked* him. He freaked out, thumbed
+a ride to ETA, and had a little *tête-à-tête* with Himself (albeit with [Mario](/characters/Mario)
+looking on, as the two had a rapport). And but so then he blew his brains out.
