During the "Moldavian Massacre" they & their roommate Bill enjoyed champagne while discovering who was actually dead! During the 1980's they enjoyed Beauty & the Beast.

Brad has a penchant for gems & minerals, which also includes jewelry. He also has collected owls & bears (Brad = Bernard = "Bold as a Bear"); these animals can be seen in many rooms of their abode.

Azzarb has an entire series of 1960s' Matchbox cars & some Hot Wheels (remember the "Deora"!). For a non-smoker, he has been collecting matchbooks for over 20 years. He has also dabbled in dragons & Tarot card readings.

Mike W. is very cynical, becoming increasingly so due to events that occured in 2000 (see hell); this has proved to be quite useful to handle life in late 2001 (see why). Unfortunately, he does not fully trust anyone.

Brad has worked in a dirty book store, and the two of them were narcotic mercenaires...
