[break][break]Equal parts cocky, competent, and caring, Heat plays several roles for and in the Grudges. As one of the older members, some of the more mundane duties, pejoratively referred to as housekeeping, occasionally fall into Heat's lap; this ranges from gently defusing arguments over stolen biscuits and finding lost pets to peeling vegetables and washing clothes. Of course, those in the know are aware of Heat's more business-oriented responsibilities including but not limited to espionage, headhunting, sabotage, and more. Such works can often have Heat away from Grudges territory for spans of time, however long is needed to complete the task. Asked to define Heat's place in the Grudges succinctly, someone suggested the description: "Mops up after others, sometimes happily and sometimes wagging a finger and saying I told you so. Sort of depends on who you are." Hobbies include sewing and dancing. Heat is loyal to a fault and takes pride in the importance such work has for the family.

[break][break]Heat's mask, or so goes the joke, contains a demon whose hellish occupation was tax collector, hence how slippery Heat becomes when harnessing the mask's powers. A capable contortionist even before accounting for mask-based enhancements, Heat can, with the mask equipped, fit through any gap larger than head-size. Many a foe have learnt all too late how skillful Heat is at constriction, only realising the danger they're in just before going unconscious (or having their bones crushed). A total disregard for the human bodyplan defines the extent of contortions Heat is capable of when properly masked; organs shift about within cavities freely, bones bend and yield to make exquisite and complex manoeuvres easy. Once, a bored Heat fought off a band of brigands using only a forearm swung around like a flail made of bone and muscle. The other aspect Heat gains from the mask is enhanced presence control; beyond normal practised stealth techniques, Heat can virtually erase self-presence as needed. Even before donning the mask, Heat is proficient with hiding and concealment but, barring a direct line of sight, a masked Heat is unable to be perceived on the whim of others. This is, of course, crucial to the role of the Infiltrator. Always armed with, at worst, an exit plan, Heat acts as both the Grudges' eyes and ears as well as their hidden garotte wire against foes.
