Bernard Mercier

A well-known face in the halls of the 2nd Directorate. Bernard Mercier is one of the higher ranking Administrators in the 2nd Directorate, and tends to scout potential Excubitors for InCUBE. Genial and warm, he stands out from his pragmatic fellow "Greenies."

Personality
ISTP

Rational, calm, and takes life with an "as-it-comes" basis. In critical situations, Bernard is renowned to be able to keep a focused outlook and accurately judge the situation without succumbing to panic. This trait of his, which is his flexibility, also causes him to be consistently open to speaking with new people. At the same time, he is slightly whimsical and disappears from his office without a moment's notice (which frustrates his secretary). Bernard does not stand out, but is certainly unforgettable.

History

la Rivière
The ability to change any solid into a liquid and back, and to alter any liquid's viscosity. He can help allies evade attacks by making the ground liquid so as to "drop" allies below an attack, liquify terrain and solidify it so as to immobilize an enemy, or simply slow them down by increasing the viscosity of a liquid.

Bernard frequently uses the ability to both disrupt the Eldritch's mobility as well as protect his allies. By altering the landscape around the enemy, he can easily ensnare even large Eldritch and slow them down almost permanently.
