Nick and Rick

Nick and Rick are twin brothers employed as bodyguards by Toryc. About two years ago, these brothers were living in Central City when their mother took ill. To pay for her medical bills, they started doing 'under the table' jobs, which they never allowed to damage their integrity.
So it was, that when a certian job went belly up in a big way, they decided to go to their employer to face the concequences, rather than risk the man causing their mother to suffer for thier failure. In ordinary times, the man would have had them both killed, and as it was, the boys still got a nasty beating, but thier luck came in a strange way. It just so happened that the man they worked for had ties with Toryc, and the alien creatures curiosity was piqued when he noticed the mens suffering. Apon hearing about their failing, and their willingness to make amends for their failings rather than simply running, as so many humans were wot to do, Toryc decided he wanted these honest men working for him. After some negotiation (Including Toryc forgiving an old debt on the employers part) Nick and Rick found themselves as bodyguards to Toryc. In those two years, the boys have proven their loyalty and gratitude a number of times over, saving Torycs life on one occasion, and nipping a number of lesser problems in the bud more often. They cant be said to be Torycs 'friends', but they know the alien better than any of his other associates can claim, bieng able to read his 'tells' and often head off some of his rages at the pass.
