The Yankee

"what they said"

- who and when

"The Yankee" [real name classified] is the supposed Son of Hank Martin (Morgan in some versions), the titular character in Mark Twain's novel A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. He defines a state of uncaring, whether it be the struggles of those he deems lesser than him or even his own destiny.

He may be hiding something, however...

Personality
He is a vicious oppurtunist, almost obsessively taking advantage of any and all circumstances. He considers other students petty, mere children, and as such, considers himself to be a giant among men. Clever, and resourceful, if he's presented with a problem, he'll solve it quickly, even if it means violence, manipulation or devious negotation.

His classes are, for the most part, privatized; what few classes he does take alongside the other Ever After students find him sitting farther to the back of the room, only answering when someone gives a response that is blatantly wrong or irritates him.

He beleives that chivalry, while nice, is for romantics and fools. "Take what you can and give nothing back. After all, everyone else does the same." is a phrase that often escapes his lips.

He's a well-dressed, self-righteous tactician that doesn't like to be crossed or belittled.

Appearance
The Yankee is just an inch or two shorter than most teachers and adults at the school. He has light skin and coarse, stubborn, dark-golden-brown hair. His hair is usually in a messy fauxhawk or spikes, and he takes pride in the matinence of his neat sideburns.

He's defined when it comes to strength, sporting an athletic build, but isn't abbundant in muscle-mass.

How the Story Goes
The novel sees 6th-Century England and its medieval culture through Hank Morgan's view; he is a 19th-century resident of Hartford, Connecticut, who, after a blow to the head, awakens to find himself inexplicably transported back in time to early medieval England where he meets King Arthur himself. Hank, who had an image of that time that had been colored over the years by romantic myths, takes on the task of analyzing the problems and sharing his knowledge from 1300 years in the future to modernize, Americanize, and "improve" the lives of the people.

After establishing himself as the most powerful person in the history of England, Hank finds himself returned to his present time. He lives out the remainder of his days filled with the regret that comes with the realization that not only was he responsible for a major portion of that era's death toll, he also destroyed the innocence and beauty of Camelot.

How does The Yankee come into it?
Techincally speaking, Hank wed during his stay in Camelot and had a child, unfortunately named 'Hello-Central'. However, The Yankee's real name is classified and he doesn't speak much about his childhood. Some have speculated as to why this is, but he hasn't confirmed or denied anything in relation to this topic.

Family
He speaks fondly of his father, remembering the adventures that came with his early teenage years. Again, not a lot is known about his actual family.

Friends
He considers himself a sort of 'elephant at the menagerie' when it comes to his relations with other people; admired, feared, but by NO MEANS respected or revered, possibly not even LIKED on all fronts.

Pet
A hunting dog named Detective is the only one of mention.

Romance
He's had one too many unrequited crushes and bad on-and-offs with coquette-ish girls. Since then, he's 'flown solo'. Despite that, if you ask him about Jane Hook, he'll tell you he "greatly admires" the work she's done, but only thinks of her in a "business manner" -- a potential (dubious) ally. Only time will tell.
