Savant Nosedive
More actions
Savant Nosedive was a chronically online video game enthusiast, animal rights activist, and, more importantly, drug mule for the Colorado Drug Cartel (an acolyte of Cucumber Joe's) residing in Nebraska City, Kansas. Following the explosion of Cucumber Joe under suspicious circumstances in 17 AB, Savant, as the primary Land Operations Executive, was the highest ranking Colorado Drug Cartel Member alive. He thusly assumed responsibility of managing both maritime and land-based Drug Cartel operations.
Seeking Advice from the Source
Savant, upon assuming the position, immediately went on a nature excursion with his wife and children to former Drug Cartel Boss Pando (the predecessor of Cucumber Joe). The family set up a campsite with a tent, grill, picnic table, and snackies along the shores of a beautiful river inside of Pando. When his family went to sleep, however, Savant Nosedive wandered out into the forest, took off his shoes, and got down on all fours, his fingers and toes sinking into the loamy soil of Pando. He slowed his breathing as much as he could, thinking of various forms of soaps and showerheads (something which made him feel faint). The mycellium network soon wrapped itself around his foot fungus, linking him up to the great roots of Pando. Here, the many lessons of narcotics manufacturing and distrubution, as well as rackateering expertise, of the great tree Pando, flowed their way into the mind of Savant Nosedive, whose expertise on these matters suddenly ballooned with thousands of years of knowledge.
Possession
Savant had not foreseen the true wickedness and cunning of this great tree, for Pando did not stop at simply sharing knowledge. Pando began pumping Savant full of tree sap, filling him with the essence of his twisted arborious mind. Soon, Savant's personality and interests were overridden by Pando, and he was effectively a drone of Pando the Quaking Aspen. This was a fact never discovered by anyone.
Gang Affiliations
Savant (under the control of Pando the Quaking Aspen) jumped into the family SUV and drove off into the night, leaving his wife and kids in the tent 100 miles from the nearest civilization. This family was never seen or heard from again. Savant drove far and wide, until the Sun shone high in the sky, driving to all the way to the great mountain city of Aspen, Colorado (aptly and deliberately named by Pando). Here, Savant tore off of the highway and towards a crumbling, condemned warehouse which had become overgrown with shrubs and bushes. He departed his vehicle and entered the warehouse. He knocked on the door 3 times - thrice, as some might say, and it creaked open.
