P eople call me Slade. A loner and a lover, two things which are hard to combine. I go where life takes me, even if it's right into the jaws of danger, or into the arms of a woman. I've been called a modern nomad, an urban traveller, always on the move. The winds of change have taken me nearly everywhere, but my home is the city. The streets are both my friend and my enemy, but always home.
