Description:
Tall, dashing and boner-inducingly handsome, Twist is slightly confused about what exactly he's doing here, but is determined to arse it up monumentally, whatever the hell 'it' is. A Pwotter to the bone, he whole-heartedly agrees with their extremist views, and desires to cleanse Shartak of neckbeards with fire and sword and coruscating derision. Starting with Serious Sam and the power-crazed egomaniacs of the 1st Colonial Militia. Oh, and Billfred. Oh, and Keiichi. Oh, and Magellan. Oh, and AlexanderRM.
To his everlasting shame, Twist was unable to participate in the York Riots of July 5th 2008 - later known as Botheringnacht - having received incapacitating machete wounds at the hands of Richard Hawke-Welch. Residents of York can consider themselves lucky. Richard can consider himself dead.
When the Pwotters went their separate ways following that wild, glorious night, Twist took to the jungle. He spent his days trying to teach parrots to say "boner," carving Botheringham logos into trees and signposts, and hacking the occasional desultory penis-shape into the undergrowth. Occasionally, as the sun set and the sky was aglow with orange flame, he would think of the burning of York, and smile to himself. "Go Bov's," he would whisper to the empty jungle. "Go Bov's..."
Twist is a lifelong devotee of Botheringham FC, and is never seen without his lucky pink-and-purple Bov's scarf. In fact, he's the Chairman of the official Shartak Botheringham FC Supporters' Club, and in that capacity he negotiated the purchase of the former Pwotters HQ, which is now the official Botheringham FC Supporters' Club Club House. Check it out if you're in York - it's the one with the pink-and-purple scarf over the door, and the faint smell of Scampi Fries wafting in the air.
