Kim Kitsuragi was born in Revachol around '08 to half-Seolite parents. He's never met his grandparents, and cannot speak Seolite. His Seolite ancestry caused others to treat him poorly, calling him racial slurs and causing Kim to struggle with not being considered Revacholian, despite being born and raised in Revachol.
AUTHORITY [Challenging: Medium] — The lieutenant's impassive mask has been replaced with intensity. He speaks not as a cop, but as a citizen. He is *Vacholiere*. A Revacholian.When he was 2 years old, his parents were killed during the end of the Antecentennial Revolution, but he was spared due to his young age.
Kim joined the RCM in '31, at the age of 23, and worked as a juvenile police officer for the next 15 years. He tries to avoid teenagers to prevent setting off the Trauma-and-Stressor Disorder he developed during that time.
KIM KITSURAGI — "Hard core, *shmard core*... I did 15 years in the Juvenile Crime Unit. I can *do* age-inappropriate."
After 9 months of training to infiltrate a pinball ring, he became the
pinball champion, and the nicknames "Kim 'Pinball' Kitsuragi" and "The
Kimball" stuck. He detests them both.
He was finally reassigned to homicide in '46, at 38.
Kim eventually earned his lieutenancy as a member of Criminal Investigation and has since been decorated four times. The last time he had killed anyone was in '47, four years prior to the case, and just a year after his reassignment.
ESPRIT DE CORPS — Looking at him now, with both hands on his headphones, you see very briefly what the lieutenant must have been like when he first joined the RCM…
