History


Date of Birth: December 17th, 1938
Home: Yonkers, New York, United States
Family: Romolo and Elvira Tenley (parents), Steven (older brother), Harold (older brother), Mary (younger sister)
Death: Personal Tragedy (immigrant family, he considered going to Catholic seminary, but ultimately helped out with the family business, a car dealership that turned into a corporate chain in the region, but he died relatively young from an unexpected heart attack—mostly unexpected, he did have a bad diet), 1987
Mentor: Justine Shelton
The Test: Trial by Influence (the Pardoners Reaped him first, and trained him in the ways of the Underworld, but his natural charisma and comprehension of hierarchy made him especially suitable for a role within Stygia as the guild's representative)
Comrades: dsds
Key Event #1: Treachery (for decades, Tenney proved himself with unquestioning hard work, and occasionally throwing a "fellow" bureaucrat under the bus, while serving as the go-to Pardoner for the local citadel)
Key Event #2: Treachery (for decades, he oversaw numerous lesser wraiths, and he was entrusted with greater and greater responsibility)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (growing bored with the afterlife's dull routines, he began to exploit his subordinates)

The Shadow


Appearance: Tenney's Shadow always appears in his mind as just himself, but with an earnest, creepy, and evil grin. Fortunately, however he may inadvertently or deliberately feed the Shadow, his mastery of Castigate keeps it in check.
Trigger: Whenever the opportunity to play out one of his secret perversions or desires presents itself.

Relics


Maelstrom Umbrella
Appearance: A modern nondescript black umbrella.
Origin: Inherent
Effects: Improve his use of Bulwark
Activation: Open it and hold it overhead for when it rains cats and dogs and three-headed Shades

Weakness
Vile Rapport


In life, he was the vice president of human resources at a hedge bank. In death, his role hasn't changed much, except people's lives are held even more cheaply, and that speaks to his vanity and lust. Exploitation is the name of the game.

Likelihood of Corruption


High.

He might be Shadow-eaten already if it weren't for his mastery of Castigate, keeping his Angst levels whipped and at bay.
