Wrestler name: Unknown. There'll be an alias connected to bank accounts provided on the paperwork, and if management needs, he'll even pretend it's his for a little bit.
Nicknames: V, the Nameless, Number Five, on occasion previously the Saint of Killers, and οὐδείς (roughly 'oudeis') in part thanks to twitter.
Fed representing: Platinum Dynasty Wrestling

Weight: 6'4"
Height: 239 lbs.
Hometown: SoHo, NYC
Entrance Music: Alice in Chains - Phantom Limb
Face/Heel: Morally ambiguous, sort of face by default-- heels are usually higher priority targets and get more fierce responses from him.
Wrestling Style:
Pic Base: Andy Whitfield.

Gimmick/Personality:Onscreen persona is... more or less, if the internet collective entity Anonymous had an IRL incarnation as a fighter. Vigilante attitude, chaotic, not very mentally stable, sometimes overreactive or bullying. Semi-reformed asshole heel who came to discover his true victim preference was other asshole heels; soft spot for underdog faces that makes him grumble when he's forced to admit.
Generally... addictive personality type, basically schizoid. Simultaneously the most and least arrogant man in the room. Doesn't shill himself using hyperbole or titles like "The Best In The World"-- at the same time, he figures if you haven't heard of him, you'll catch on soon enough. Indifferent to the glamour and glitz that can be part of wrestling, doesn't pander to crowds much. Standoffish, quieter in personal capacities than he is on-screen. The kind of intelligence that comes from experience and private reading; no formal higher education.
Bio: ... is there anything worse than trying to sum a man who's entire public persona deliberately defies definition?
The simple version, the things most easily found from widespread tape hunting and simply talking around:
He started fighting back in 1999 but burst into more widespread visibility in pro wrestling in 2004 with the help of his benefactor, financial and otherwise, Ava Despina. The rise from there was fast, parting ways with Ava less than two years later, going on a rampage for gold within the promotion he was exclusive to.
Pressure built and built. And one day, after he came in three days after defending his current belt in a brutal pay-per-view three-man cage match to cut promotional videos, secretly mid-opiate-detox-- to find himself lined up in an unscheduled rematch-- the straw broke the camel's back and no spinal fusion was fixing it. He held it together until he got to the ring, got the live mic, went the fuck off with nothing held back in a spectacular fashion that had management hurriedly cutting to commercial break, announced he was quitting, had his match, lost his belt, and left.
The full version was filmed by multiple fans in the crowd and spread like crabgrass on YouTube and other video hosting sites. In the meantime, his prior company still held the rights to the pseudonym he'd been wrestling by. He hasn't had a concrete name since; he used many aliases in the following months on the indies, and the initial 'V' for a particularly unwieldy one stuck, with encouragement for personal reasons.
And then one day, he seemingly just disappeared.
Dig a little further and you may find rumors of an underground vale tudo ring... but nobody talks too loud from either being wary of those connected or because they don't want to be heard spreading urban legends.
It was a good three years since his face was seen in mainstream wrestling, then he returned with little warning to EXODUS Pro. The run there was brief, then he jumped ship to Full Throttle Wrestling-- now a few months signed exclusively with Platinum Dynasty Wrestling. Big impact in PDW immediately, been in regular contention for the Platinum title since his debut.

Face/Heel: Morally ambiguous, sort of face by default-- heels are usually higher priority targets and get more fierce responses from him.
Wrestling Style:
- Over a fifteen year career, evolved from a brawler into more technical puro-style wrestling into finally vale tudo. So basically, high-impact technical and power striking. Some examples would be Shuji Kondo, Super Dragon without the high-flying, or Lesnar or (urgh) Orton, depending on what wrestling you watch.
- Stretches the rules but does not break them until a heel opponent does, then mockingly tries to one-up them at it and gets snide and nasty.
- An unrushed pace when he's in control. Not dumb enough to do a lot of chasing around after high-flyers if it's at all avoidable.
- Likes to focus on the spine and head.
Pic Base: Andy Whitfield.
Move Set
- Hammerlock twisted into a short-range lariat
- Powerbomb, sometimes multiple non-releasing
- Rolling vertical suplexes
- Head drop Uranage suplex
- Forearm strikes
