Life(In regards to Eck)
Again, it would be nice if somebody could flesh this out a bit better for me. I would appreciate it. ~Spencer Eck.

Patrick Salemme used to live down the street from Spencer Eck when they were very young, which led them to an early friendship. It was short lived, however, when Patrick moved out of the house and away. They reunited as friends in Jamestown Middle School's Advanced Learning Program, and continued to be friends through their common middle school of Persell. Eck enjoyed Salemme's company, which granted him an invitation to several of Eck's birthday parties, something Salemme sought actively throughout his life. He was never officially inducted into the crew, however, and after a time stopped attending Eck's events. They remained friends through classes at the high school they shared together.

Concept for Character
Eck required a prince or some figure of royalty for Gael's plotline, a rallying force which would give them legitimacy in their liberation efforts. The prince was in Eck's mind, intelligent, yet detached. The parallels of personality clicked in his head, and Samuel adapted more of Salemme's personality. He is frequently described as "lacking common sense" as well as having a high amount of energy, and an extrodinary amount of intelligence. Sans the intelligence, this matches Patrick perfectly. The prince even adapts Patrick's middle name, Samuel, as the character's name. He is better acquainted with the crew memebers Dominick Rodriguez and Christian Nugent, which is appropriate considering their characters are all connected on Gael's side of the story.
