Dash is a bon vivant, musician and a failed racegrav driver.  As a musician, he is a casual lounge piano player but is also known in some circles for a his quickly sketched caricatures. He lost his eye in an unfortunate gambling accident, the accident being his failure to recognize the gravity of his words and the strictness with which the terms of the bet would be enforced. (Resemblances to Hugh Laurie's Bertie Wooster are not altogether misplaced).

Seveej is Dash's manservant. Born in lower class circumstances he escaped a long career in construction to work indoors and live amongst fine things. In many ways, serving Dash is both the least demanding and most interesting job he's had.

Referee note: I made two tweaks to Seveej for the sake of the bit - Seveej is better than Dash at Investigate, though he would never upstage Dash such that Dash would notice - a bit of those versions of Holmes's Watson where the doctor is smarter than the detective. He is also better at Streetwise.
