Mitch Prendergast is a prick. The sort of prick that keeps a copy of his MBA in his briefcase. The sort of prick that still wears his high school ring (and probably still goes to their football games). The sort of prick that's calculating your net worth from your handshake and the beer in your fridge. The sort of prick that only asks questions that can be answered one way - the way he wants.

Which makes him a perfect Venture Invictus.

But he's really not a bad guy - he started working 60-hour weeks so some day he could work 80 hour weeks and then swipe a bunch of his coworkers and start his own company where he would have them work 60 and 80 hour weeks while he banged their girlfriends. He actually got pretty close to his goal before he was recognized by Alfonse Serra, an Invictus elder who realized his upcoming torpor needed to have a good ward watching over him. Now, Mitch is working nights without being the only one in the office, so no one could tell he was actually banging the cleaning lady, but he's loving every minute of it. Instead of dealing with retirees and teachers who won't max out their IRA contributions, he's dealing with monsters who flip Swiss bank accounts like pocket change. He's still a neonate, but in good standing with the Invictus, so he hasn't had the opportunity to get into the "creepy zombie bullshit" yet, but he's working his way up, one measured handshake at a time.

His earnestness isn't in question, but his ultimate motivations definitely are.
