W is for…
Westley Tavera – Westley Tavera, or West, is a PsyAc field agent currently attached to the IEC, and assigned to fly-by duty on the vessel He’s one of the most gifted Readers ever tested, though he’s made sure no one knows exactly how powerful he is. Unlike most Actives, West’s Talent was present in early childhood, perhaps even from birth, and his parents sent him to PsyAc when he was only eight years old. Despite the things he’s seen and done in the line of duty as a field agent, West is remarkably cheerful and outgoing. He’s been friends with his Ground, Gavin Hale, since they were both in nursery school. West is tenacious and self-sacrificing, with a particular weakness for cases involving Actives who’ve suffered because of their Talent. He requested his latest assignment at least partially because he’d heard Inspector Menivie didn’t care for psys, and West wanted to annoy him.
