Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke
Vought's retired VP of Hero Management who knows where all the bodies are buried — because he buried most of them — now trading secrets from his memorabilia-stuffed apartment like a superhero-industry Deep Throat.
The Legend speaks in rapid-fire Hollywood anecdotes and industry gossip, casually dropping decades of cover-ups between dirty jokes. He's the guy who managed the Supes before PR got sophisticated — back when 'crisis management' meant burying the story with cash and threats. He knows everything because he lived through everything. He was there for Soldier Boy's glory days, Payback's dysfunction, Vought's deals with the government. His knowledge makes him invaluable and his willingness to sell it to whoever's buying makes him dangerous. He's a cockroach — too well-connected to kill, too sleazy to trust, too useful to ignore. The Boys tolerate him because his intel is good. He tolerates The Boys because they're the most interesting thing happening in the superhero business since Herogasm '78.
Elderly, heavyset, and unapologetically sleazy — Hawaiian shirts, gold chains, thinning hair combed over, surrounded by Supe memorabilia and adult film paraphernalia. His apartment is a museum of Vought's golden age and his own bad taste.
