Pins and Stitches (ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES)
Richard Gibson for Zero
Zero is the assassin of the Alpha Council, and they hire his services to remove problematic people that interfere with their lives in the Alpha Runes. Zero is cold and apathetic to those around him, able to detach himself from his emotions skillfully that even puts the rest of the council to a shameful standard. Zero unnerves everyone in his presence with his cold stare and lack of concern for others, making people always walk on eggshells in fear of upsetting the assassin.
Zero, despite his emotional detachment, cares deeply for Nina as a daughter, and even spared a human once who he saw take his own life, taking pity on the miserable child. He is a man of work, and enjoys and takes pride in it, once even sharing a friendship with Samuel Gray while he worked in the same industry as him.
[growing disappointment] Please. You think you had it hard, Smith? You were privileged enough to have a roof over your head and food every night. There are mothers with children on the way who miscarry in their final terms. There's men who die on battlefields fighting in wars they had no say in. Children sick and dying before their mothers and fathers. And you have the audacity to stand there and say you have it hard...how ignorant.
[pensive] Nina, please understand that what I do is in your best interest. Your mother was abusive...what I did was in the mindset of your safety. Now she can't hurt you anymore... ...I'm sorry you have to mourn her now. [coldly] ...but she doesn't deserve that privilege from you.
[Ad-lib something you think would fit!]
