Tim
Summary
Tim is a random passerby in New Smoke who became an unwitting participant in one of Sucks Benedict's characteristically awkward social maneuvers. A 25-year-old man described as really skinny, Tim was simply walking past when Sucks grabbed him in a panic while attempting to learn the name of his date, Greta. In Session 8 of the campaign, Sucks used Tim as an improvised introduction prop, introducing him to Greta as "friend number four" in a hastily constructed social hierarchy. Despite the bizarre circumstances of being physically grabbed by a stranger and pressed into service as a conversational pawn, Tim handled the situation with notable composure, playing along with the introduction before departing.
Appearance
Tim is described as really skinny. Beyond this physical detail, no other specifics about his appearance, clothing, or mannerisms are provided in the source material.
History
Session 8
Tim appears in Session 8 when Sucks Benedict grabs him off the street in a moment of panic. Sucks had arranged to meet Greta for a date but had failed to ask her name beforehand. In an attempt to remedy this through an awkward introduction scheme, Sucks physically grabbed Tim as he walked past and incorporated him into the greeting.
When introduced to Greta, Tim greeted her with "Hi, Tim" and confirmed Sucks's designation of him as "number four" in the friend hierarchy. When the awkwardness of the situation became apparent, Tim matter-of-factly explained his presence: "What's up? I was next to you. I was walking past" and "Because you grabbed me." After fulfilling his unexpected role in Sucks's introduction gambit, Tim eventually left the scene.
