Character Bio: Director Bloom

The third entry in our Character Bio feature focuses on the man in charge of AVARAD and all its operations: Director Harrison Bloom.

Director Bloom is a government executive with a background in military research and development. Before stepping into his leadership role with the AVA, he served as a strategic consultant, advising the infant agency on the most effective and efficient methods for exploring the existence of the variants. He stressed the importance of surveillance and information gathering, while at the same time reinforcing the agency's original stance that genetic evolution had the potential to be a serious threat to the country.

When the AVA began to expand its reach, Director Bloom was appointed to the Research and Development division as a full-fledged employee. He quickly rose to a leadership position, garnering more and more influence as AVARAD's station within the AVA strengthened. With increasing levels of freedom and an expanding budget, Bloom was able to position AVARAD to become the militaristic arm of the AVA, complementing its R&D directives with an array of para-military operations and special projects. Chief among these were efforts to police variants deemed potentially dangerous to society.  



In terms of personality, Director Bloom is a very private man, who prefers to focus his attention on work rather than social endeavors. He is not particularly liked by his employees, due to his intensity and questionable methods, and on more than one occasion he's been accused of being prejudice and/or morally astray. Still, the influence he's had on the agency and variant policy is undeniable, and thus at the very least he's positioned himself as a man not to be trifled with.  

Director Bloom's most trusted operatives are a pair of men named Commander Timothy Englewood and Lieutenant Seth Jenkovich, the subjects of our next Character Bio.
