Bryce Cunningham (Epiphany)

THEME: Bryce Cunningham is a character in Epiphany. The former mayor of Paducah when the Plague began to make its rounds, Bryce agreed to Gwen Temple's plans for a council of leaders in the city, and is also one of her close supporters for the New Venice project. Bryce's transition from the city's popular face to another member of the council has been tough, though, as he is used to the fame and recognition as the city's leader. Although they clash at many times, he and Gwen consider themselves allies.

Personality
Bryce is someone who prides himself on organization. He is very particular and quite picky when it comes to many things; especially his presentation. Bryce can be quite cold, confrontational, and blunt, but he is a good guy at heart with the city's best interest at heart. Not your typical politician, Bryce won the hearts and votes of his people by being up-front with people in public, just as he is in his personal life. He doesn't separate the two, and that openness to his people is appreciated by them.

Because he is someone who likes to be in charge, he can often clash with personalities similar to his own. Bryce takes a stance in any issue, and is incredibly passionate in his efforts to defend his viewpoints. A common mistake is that he can often be misinterpreted as arrogant or insolent because of his intense vigor, but he usually doesn't mean to; and if he ever does, he will be sure to let you know.

Pre-series
Bryce was voted in as mayor of Paducah. He was still in charge when the Plague started to spread through the Midwest, and kept the city in tact during the outbreak. When he was approached by Gwen Temple with her ideas, he agreed with them and decided to put her in charge.

Book One: Revelation
Bryce will appear in Book One.
