Laurent Thierry

Laurent has fair blond hair and light blue eyes with prominent heavy eyelids. Laurent is about 6'1, and is in his mid 30s. Laurent grew up in Brussels, Belgium with his French mother Emma Thierry. He studied several different languages as a kid as he aspired to become a diplomat. One day, an investor named Hugo came in with an offer to invest in Laurent's future, but he took advantage of Emma's dyslexia tricking her into signing a contract that actually transferred all of her life savings to Hugo. Shortly thereafter, Emma passed away, leading Laurent to live a life of gambling in Paris hoping to get revenge on Hugo. One night, he tried to kill Hugo, but ended up stabbing a woman named Dorothy instead. Laurent would later find himself being recruited into the Confidence group after this incident. Laurent operates as a Robin Hood of sorts, only targeting the corrupt and criminal, who obtain their wealth by unrepentantly harming honest people, for his scams; he prefers to expose his victims for their crimes and use the profits from his scams to help honest and underprivileged people. While ruthless toward his victims, he treats his comrades and associates like a family. He has a flirtatious nature and is a reputed playboy. Laurent comes off as very silly most of the time, though he is serious at times. However, despite the charming and affable demeanor he puts on, he is an extremely angry and vengeful man, having carried homicidal ideations towards others. Most notably, these feelings are targeted at Mr. Liu of the Shanghai Mafia branch of Akemi Suzaku's human trafficking empire. Due to his perceived failure to protect his fiancée Dorothy, (She lost her life when one of the team's plans backfired many years ago, which made the other founding members deadset in enacting revenge against her killers, even if it took them several years, sparing no expense.) he suffers from hallucinations of her from time to time, which often leave him either morose and visibly depressed. However, due to his immaculate sense of self-control, Laurent has displayed incredible willpower, proving himself superior to his enemies in both terms of will and morals. Laurent is a polyglot, knowing 9 different languages including French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. Laurent, in a relationship, is very romantic and devoted to his loved one. Since he is bisexual, Laurent is a confident switch - someone who can be both submissive and dominant. Laurent loves to watch his lover sleep, and often admires them.
