In his youth, TIM was some kinda nerd that liked to cosplay as a blind elf magic user, and was totally emo. We don't talk about those days.
When he grew up a bit, he decided to join the FVZA (Federal Vampire & Zombie Agency) to protect Gaia from the growing undead menace. Unfortunately, during a mission to clean up a dangerous Grunny infestation, he became infected with the G-Virus and was discharged. Soon after, he was scouted by a more openminded agency known as the GiB, or Gaians in Black, a secret organization dedicated to protecting Gaia from extraterrestrial threats.
After rising through the ranks, his career peaked as he found himself leader of the GiB during the Zurg Invasion. Once the crisis was over and threats of an extraterrestrial nature became more and more infrequent, he decided it was time to retire, and leave the planet protecting game to the next generation of agents.
After travelling the world for a number of years, he's returned to his old home in Aekea, appearing as a dapper gent with a taste for cobalt blue and the finer things in life. Thanks to a very "realistic" and "lifelike"
prosthesis (oh dear, are my joints showing?
sweatdrop ), he now appears as a pink, warm-blooded human once more. His extended vacation has left him much more relaxed and laid-back than before. However, behind this eccentric facade lies the same tired-looking grombie in a dull black suit, waiting to emerge should the alien threat ever return.
