Graham Specter

is a mechanic and one of Ladd Russo's loyal devotees. He is one of the powerhouse fighters of the Russo Family, taught how to fight by Ladd himself.

Appearance

Graham has long blond hair and pale skin. His eyes are blue, and often look 'half-asleep'; his facial features are described as "rather girlish," and his build is "decently muscular." He is always depicted wearing a blue mechanic's uniform. He usually carries a large wrench around with him, the end of which is encrusted with rust and dried blood.

Personality

In the most basic of terms, Graham might be best described as "frenetic." He frequently delivers long-winded, philosophical rants at the drop of a hat; he will lament about his current state of affairs in the most negative way possible, before changing his mood and suddenly viewing the same issue in a contradictory, impossibly optimistic way. Most people around him (but not all) tend to dismiss his rants as pointless ramblings. Meaningless as they might be, Graham's rants are fueled by genuine passion over whatever is concerning him, which can be everything and anything. He bemoans his own flaws often and loudly; he presumes and then takes his presumptions to their illogical extremes; he has raged at the sun for its unbearable heat and then exalted it for its supreme power. These bipolar mood swings are a core part of Graham's personality—even the narrative observes that Graham's mood is only ever zero or hundred and almost never in-between. Graham is easily affected by stories he finds compelling As such, he is often highly indecisive and will agonize over what next course of action he should take until his emotions spill over (and are released through aggressive action) or someone else makes the decision for him. Graham relishes in dismantling all things tangible, be they humans or objects; 'dismantling' intangible things gives him no satisfaction. He hates it when others destroy vehicles he wants to destroy himself, However he refuses to commit murder, for doing so would fill him with guilt. This should not be taken as a sign of mercy: he is fully capable of inflicting serious, lasting damage if he so chooses. A dislocated joint is terribly painful in its own right. With a character so driven by emotion, it is no wonder that Graham quickly becomes attached to those of whom he takes a liking. When he believes in someone he believes in them wholly: he idolizes Ladd; respects Laz Smith; and Jacuzzi leaves such a deep impression on him that Graham deems him one of his most important friends Graham's loyalty to and idolization of Ladd is so potent that he is perfectly happy to give Ladd the credit for something that he (Graham) accomplished, and is instantly offended (and full of bloodlust) when someone insults him. Despite everything, Graham is actually quite intuitive. Though his plans often go awry, Graham is quick to adapt and is quite versatile. However, he is still easily influenced by the heat of the moment, and his emotions will often override any common sense.

Abilities

Graham's weapon of choice is a large crescent wrench that he can throw like a boomerang (i.e. if he aims for proper angles upon throwing it, it will come back like a boomerang) or simply use as a blunt instrument of brute force. He can also use it for impressively delicate feats; he has caught everything from bullets to people's throats inside the wrench's vice, and he can dislocate joints as easily as he can unscrew a bolt. All of this makes him far more unorthodox and unpredictable than Ladd, for it is far more difficult to discern a pattern in his fighting. Graham is presented as one of the more powerful fighters, Ladd himself has said that Graham is much stronger and better than him in a fight, but unlike Ladd refuses to kill his opponents. His personality also often confuses his enemies, who are unequipped to deal with his frequent mood-swings during a fight; when his mood changes, it appears that his fighting style adjusts accordingly. Graham is also capable of reassembling and disassembling almost any kind of machinery at an incredibly fast rate.
