◎ Character's Name: Spanner
◎ Character's Canon: Katekyo Hitman REBORN!
◎ Character's Age: 24
◎ Canon Point: Right after he helps Tsuna with his X-Burner skills
◎ Background/History: Here & Here
◎ Is the character a hacker and/or do they have a sixth-sense? Yes, Spanner is extremely well versed in technology and can hack things to a degree, although Shouichi is much better at the hacking end, he can still do some. Spanner's true skills are more leaned towards building but he is able to hack into things from other locations using his laptop.

◎ Personality:

First thing about Spanner that should be known is that he is highly intelligent. Spanner is an expert at building machines that many would never even think would be possible. He is also capable of figuring out problems to issues before many would even understand there was a problem. Ever since he was a child he formed a love for machines most importantly robots. This passion even leads him to meet his friend, and in most respects his future, Irie Shouichi. Having met Shouichi at a robotics competition in an international college, Spanner developed a respect and interest in the other. Because of this respect he even goes as far as joining the Millifore with Shouichi, though for the most part Spanner is pretty neutral more caring about the fact he is being given access to build and create things. All the while there is a small hint of an underlying competition between Shouichi and Spanner given how they met. Being competitive he is still fairly protective of his friend even going as far as pulling a gun on Tsuna when he caught the hint he might insult Shouichi.

With the access given to him to work on his projects another part of his personality becomes very clear. One word can basically describe Spanner when he is working on things and that is Obsessive. When he is engrossed in a project it is next to impossible to pull him away from it. He will literally work himself to exhaustion to finish what he’s doing. A lot of it is just his general love of making things better or ‘one upping’ things he has made in the past. One good example of this is his Moscas he is constantly in a state of trying to make them more powerful and basically unbeatable. Even when the Moscas are defeated my Tsuna or Vongola as he calls him, he still takes down data to use to improve the weapons. With their defeat he also becomes obsessed with helping Vongola to perfect his ‘X-Burner’ just so he can see the beauty of it finished. Spanner’s obsessions can even lead him to betray alliances if something new to him proves more interesting that what he was previously working on. Helping Tsuna proves that point; even though he knows the strength of the Millifore he would rather do something more ‘shiny’ and more interesting to him.

Spanner is also very calm and collected when faced with most things. He seems to really be in his own mindset or world about ninety percent of the time. Most times he just becomes so engrossed that he doesn’t even know there is an outside world, because of this fact when real world things happen he just approaches them with a more ‘blah’ attitude. A lot of this attitude is really the fact that he analyzes everything he would rather figure out an issue out and calculate a correct response than to freak out about it or react in a way most normal people might. So it leaves him with a more aloof view on problems. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have his moments of excitement or even worry. Though most of his excitement is seen when he gets a chance to test out his toys in new situations or he gets to make something better. His worry though can be seen, as example, when he is threatened to be killed as a traitor by Iris. Even at that time though after a few moments he seems to shrug off the threat though it’s seen that internally Spanner is still worrying about it.

Sarcasm is another part of Spanner that isn’t greatly seen as he outwardly speaks to people but more as how he internally responds to people. It can be as simple as someone cutting him off to get a thought about if he’s allowed to speak or not. Some of his sass can be seen when he does reply to people as well though it is harder to be seen at time through his vale of specs and tech talk. Never-the-less it’s there and he can sometimes have biting comments but it’s hard to tell if it’s because he is socially awkward at times or that he just doesn’t care enough to not be blunt. With being so blunt though it’s clear that he does seem to prefer working with machines rather than humans. With machines he doesn’t have to worry about nearly as much as he does with people, he can say and do as he pleases and nothing is said or done to him.

Lastly a big part of Spanner’s own personality and being is that he is, to a degree, an otaku and technophile. Spanner states Tsuna when he first captures him just how much he loves Japan. He loves the people, the language, their green tea more importantly they fact they are the most advanced in robotics, but most of all he find the Japanese 10th Vongola boss the most interesting. Even as Tsuna wakes he’s even holding a small piece of paper with his name in Japanese characters as well as drinking green tea. Spanner is interesting in many ways but being a British raised Italian Mafia member is really a shining moment for him and makes him likeable. As far as his technophile aspect he fits the definition to a T. Anything he can use technology for he does even making a small mini Mosca to do all of his errands, cook, clean and of course to make his lollipops; that are always strawberry and which help stimulate his brain to improve his work as he says. Spanner really sees technology as something improve his life and as something to help him create more and more things. As long as he has it he won’t be bored however if it was to suddenly vanish I doubt he would know how to handle himself. He is not a character that would exist well in pre-modern era; he would be the one to bring the modern era about if that was the resulting case.


Fears: As far as fears go Spanner is a tough nut to crack to see them. One that is shown is that he fears dying but even with that he still doesn’t seem to care much even if he’s about to be blown up. The main other one if he is left without technology. Spanner lives and breathes technology if that was to be suddenly taken from him he would be at a complete lost as to what to do with himself. This would be his main fear above all others. Though if he’s faced with the inabilities to use his hands or mind he would probably do something drastic. Another one that is more speculation is that to a degree he is scared of people. If Spanner is faced with no outlet and being stuck with only people he would really not know what to do.

Weaknesses:
As far as weaknesses for Spanner go it’s really hard to pick out a lot. He is social awkward to a degree and seems to prefer machines over humans. Spanner isn’t much of a physical fighter though. He would rather do all of his fighting over a remote or monitor. So if having to fight in person would leave him at a great disadvantage. For other weaknesses he doesn’t seem to really function well without machines, he can but he would be a lot more burdened to do so.

◎ Powers/Abilities:

Spanner’s skills are basically his intelligence, his ability to stay calm and collective and the fact he can fix or build anything and make it better. Intelligence wise he can figure out problems very simply. Enough that when someone else has figured it out he would have already came up with a solution and answer. His ability to stay calm helps in the fact of chaos he will be able to remain focused and not lose sight of what he is doing at the time. Finally he is a mechanic and he lives and breathes machines. If you have something needing to be fixed if Spanner can’t fix it, no one can.
