Accord

Accord is the leader of the Ambassadors. After an attack by the Slaughterhouse Nine, he cut a deal with the Undersiders to work in Brockton Bay.

Personality:

Accord's power affects his behaviour. Specifically it makes him hyperaware to disorder and things that are "out of place", so much so that even minor details can drive him to homicidal rage, though he recognises this in himself and does actively try to contain the urges his power gives where it would be inconvenient to act upon.

Appearance:

Accord is short— barely over five feet — and tends to dress more like a CEO than like a cape (although he wears an ornate wood-and-silver mask).

Abilities and Powers:

Accord is a Thinker whose intelligence increases in relation to the size and scope of the problems presented to him; the greater the problem he's given, the faster he can find a solution ot it. As a test of his abilities, he devised a solution to world hunger using only a telephone and the internet in less than six and a half hours and in a further nine typed it up into a concise 150 page document outlining how to implement it. His plans are often so complicated, however, that only Taylor Hebert seriously considered using them.

Accord also has a minor sub-talent for creating objects with multiple interlocking parts and a sense of aesthetic harmony. He personally creates all the costumes and masks for each of the Ambassadors and his own mask is made of multiple pieces that shift in response to his facial expressions. Similarly he has created furniture that automatically adjusts itself to the user's weight and posture for maximum comfort, with apparently no electronics involved.

Trivia

• Accord's walking cane contains a hidden folded blade.
