|overview=''"Deep within us—-no matter who we are-—there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with.<br>And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving."'' 

'''-The World According To Mister Rogers'''


There is just something about him. He's approachable, at the very least, sometimes he's ''magnetic''. Trust in him comes fast, so opening up is easy. He can draw you in and make you feel like the only person in the room. When you are done, you tend to leave better than you came.

He tends to give thoughtful advice but there is no promise of it being any good. But he did think about it and that has to count. 

Your secrets are safe with him. Your hopes and dreams and worries and cares too. Your burdens are his burdens because no one should struggle alone.

Trust matters and he will do his best not to break it. He gives it easily but understands that isn't the case with everyone. He handles with care.
|persistent=The Confidant, by design, carries others burdens. Quietly, he has collected his own. One thing from each incarnation. One trait from each life carries over into another, a growing burden. These are the things he carries, for better or worse.

*'''Chance''': Be it sign language or body language, one doesn't need a voice to speak to The Confidant.
*'''Henry''': No matter what The Confidant does or who he is, he takes his profession or vocation seriously and strives to be as professional as he can.
*'''Jody''': The Confidant has a handful of old fashioned, gentlemanly habits from another time and place.
*'''Derek''': Never an inch below six feet, The Confidant is going to be tall, one way or another.
*'''Hodr''': Of all the possibly overactive senses, it's The Confidant's sense of smell that remained sharp.
*'''Teller''': The Confidant may never know a good night's rest.
*'''Cash''': Creativity flows from The Confidant. Art, music, whatever...just don't expect him to always be good at it.

|persona=''"The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments. They burn 'em all away. But they're not punishing you,' he said. 'They're freeing your soul. If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth."''
― Bruce Joel Rubin, Jacob's Ladder


''More to Come''
|desc=Measuring at six feet, four inches tall, The Confidant is tall. He has a broad and sturdy build and is amazing shape. Greek god-Gym Rat kind of body. His skin is quite fair and his eyes are big, blue, and expressive. If his size and ghostly pallor don’t draw the eye, the red hair just might. The loose curls and gentle waves of his thick copper hair fall just short of his shoulders. He has a classic set of handsome features. Perfect nose, nice cheekbones and a square jaw. He has a gingery shadow of a beard. His dress is plain to the point of generic. T-shirts, hoodies, plaid PJ bottoms. His feet are usually bare.
|door=A male figure with several other figures leaning on him.
|room=The Confidant's room is starkly clinical. From the cool, gray linoleum floor to its beige walls, to the extra long twin sized bed with white and tan blankets it seems to be designed to house a hospital patient. There is a desk across from the bed and beside the entrance to a walkthrough closet that leads to the bathroom.

The closet is filled with generic clothes in plain colors. There are drawers full of dark underwear and white socks. The floor is home to a few pairs of footwear. Slippers, leather steel toed boots and trainers. All white or gray clean and unused. There is still space for his Mementos, two shelves over the clothes, one on each side.

The bathroom is white and stainless steel. Even his grooming products are perfectly generic. There is only a shower, toilet and sink.

|facility-notes='''Fun Facts!'''
*He loves cheap, processed foods. Kraft dinner, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, flavor-aid, and ramen are good enough for him, thank you very much.

*The Confidant recognizes regional accents from all over the world. He can tell the difference between BBC and Estuary English, for example. He can mimic them fairly well. His Theory: An instant method of connection.

*The Confidant doesn't drink alcohol, nor does he smoke.

*He previously spoke in a bland, newscaster-style American accent. However, it has changed and evolved into an American mixed bag with expressions and colloquialisms ranging from coast to coast.

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

I will try not to sing out of key

What are you wondering? What do you know?

Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?

When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

|song=Gravity - John Mayer

|lyrics=Oh I'll never know what makes this man

With all the love that his heart can stand

Dream of ways to throw it all away


Oh, gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down


Oh twice as much ain't twice as good

And can't sustain like one half could

It's wanting more

That's gonna send me to my knees
