Eventually, he draws the attention of the Hunters and joins them. 2006: Dash and Emma have an argument so fierce that they vow never to speak to one another again. Dashiell withdraws from his regular life and begins taking more and more risks for the Hunters. Personality: Dashiell is an angry man and not hesitant about lashing out at the world. His reaction to hurt is simply to engender more hurt and he’s not afraid to be brutal or cruel in an attempt to maintain his own level of isolation.

Sexuality: Homosexual and open about it Appearance: Height: 5'11" Weight: Average Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Style of Dress: Dash tends to dress well but wears his clothing casually. A suit without a tie, an shirt with a few buttons open – while the clothing is well-tailored, he prefers not to be completely buttoned-up. He carries a cane because of his arthritis but generally seems taller than he is, irregardless, because of his sharp presence. PB: Hugh Laurie | |||||||||
