Description: Telephoto is tall (6'1") and very thin (160 lbs). He has brownish hair and a silver-blue left eye. His right eye and upper right skull have been replaced by a telephoto lens and camera. Telephoto normally dresses in photographer's jackets similar to those sold by Banana Republic.
Telephoto was a photography major at the University of Sydney when he fell asleep on copy of American Photographer. When he woke up, the right half of his face had become a camera. With time, he found he could take pictures with his right (camera) eye, while his left eye worked as a flash. Telephoto can also read a person's visual memories, view their aura, and ingest rolls of film and spit out developed pictures. He works for the Twisted Fists, trying to better the lives of poor jokers and nats alike.
