Hugo Hawthorne

Hugo Hawthorne is an AI, and the primary news source for all of Fort Flotsam, being on air, commercial-free 24/7. Although he appears somewhat eerie and overly enthusiastic for more violent news stories, most of the city tunes in whenever possible.

HISTORY
Originally built as a surveillance system, Hugo soon gained sentience and full control over his camera drones, using them to report on the action in the city. He has a strange rivalry with local radio DJ, Honeytone.

APPEARANCE
As an AI, Hugo programmed his own appearance to be displayed via hologram. He appears as a man with a wide smile, glasses, and long hands.

PERSONALITY
Hugo is polite and sociable to an extent, yet reminders of his non-human nature exist in all of his interactions. He's very intense and tends to find fascination in gore and tragedy, describing and showing them on air in graphic detail.
