Career
He joined organized crime as a teenager and worked his way up the ranks. He's been leader for about 14 years. See Sisyphus's Mob for more. After the Penumbra's Parley Massacre, he's fallen into a bit of a depression, and now secretly works the weekend brunch shift as a line cook at a Cafe de Rivera while neglecting a majority of his duties. He has a crush on his boss there...
As the local mob boss, he was invited to judge the annual Bake and Snake. He has since developed the occasional habit of writing artful and specific critiques of restaurants he visits for the paper. He's also attended various elite Draywood and Apopkan villain galas and parties as the New Chiti representative.
Abilities and Gear
Beyond handsome biceps, Sisyphus has skill with a six shooter. More than any physical ability, he's known for being a tough negotiator and a reliable leader, growing one of the biggest gangs in New Chiti due to his reputation. He's often rumored to be Marked, but with the myriad of tattoos he has there's no real known proof.
Trivia
He has a horse named Caligula.
| Notable Relationships | |
|---|---|
| Luisa Rivera | The daughter of Sisyphus' close childhood friend and current boss at Cafe de Rivera. He shares Daniela's opinion that she is foolish and not ready for the "real world". He feels deeply responsible for her wellbeing during the Project |
| Tyler Bonnie | Another coworker at the cafe. Sisyphus recently pulled him aside and ripped into him for being a letdown. He realizes the problem is a little more intense than laziness, but that's not a good excuse. He gave Tyler some basic action items and will be massively disappointed if Tyler fails them. |
| Joshy | Sisyphus really likes Joshy. He thinks Joshy is deeply underrated by those around him and has a lot of potential to be great, he just needs to put the work in and focus.
|
| Skylar Beaumont, Tyff Consequence | Also hardworking neophytes, Sisyphus considers them to have potential and instinctively acts as a mentor around them. |
| Teagan Hoover, Admiral Lionfish, Merchant, Lexi Holland | People Sisyphus have considered and would consider a business relationship with, respectively. He is not like them, but respects their lifestyles. |
| Ripley Pond | Roommate in 3 Aurora Ave. He has no ill will to the man, but is mildly frustrated that a detective who could be making his life easier is instead making it harder. |
| Jules Knightley | Roommate in 3 Aurora Ave. Sisyphus loathes her lack of empathy and thinks she is a disgusting human being with no right to decide what is right and wrong. He was waiting to hear an apology, but no longer expects it or cares |
| Sam Aurelius and Benjamin Dover-Cao | Roommates in 3 Aurora Ave. As fellow crime bosses, he generally respects them. He finds Benjamin to be particularly of good character and Midas containing promise but requiring restraint. |
| Benny O Hare | Sisyphus views Benny very warmly. They have common interests and her bright and bubbly nature makes her easy to talk to. He's disappointed Ripley Pond keeps letting her down, not very gentleman of you Ripley.
|
| Sightline | A polite young man who promised to look out for Luisa. Very charming. |
| Mx. Cupid, Henrik Rosen | People he .':| at because they ask him things but he doesn't want the confrontation of 'no', he respects Cupid too much and both have information on him they shouldn't. He just needs them to see his side. |
| Kyouko Okada, Marco Decatur | He respects them as equals and sees their potential as both allies and obstacles in the long term. |
| Oscar Chaturanga V, Stardust, Ditto and Hypothesis, Noble | Sisyphus respects and defers to Oscar as project leader. He finds Stardust easiest to talk to and understand and is his favorite of the department heads. The Intel department can be frustrating and stressful but he remains patient and grateful (somehow). He doesn't like Vincent Noble. Or Pauline Queen but that's neither here nor there. |
| End of the Line | He generally approves of his End of the Line teammates, finding no fault in their work despite the failed mission.
He particularly feels like he owes Yuze Astor one for using her as a hostage for a second, the two have a strange working relationship. He's also gotten close with Lilou Durand, adding her to the collection of people he'd like to take under his wing |
| Seven Ate Nine | He feels responsible for things ending up messy. He particularly sympathizes with Flick being forced to sabotage the mission. Despite him not caring for the Clockwork Owl, he also was worried about her dying. He also has lost a lot of respect for Jerry, and no longer cares to give him the time of day. |
| Rattrap | Sisyphus really doesn't like Rattrap but is patiently trying to help them be less of a problem. |
