CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY

A long-time friend of William Noir, Damon Moore is a nostalgic yet unpredictable character, Referring to himself as the “disruptor” Moore defies all past and preconceived notions by working and making it big on Wall Street. Moore is the type of character who maintains and is defined and ruled by his connections, withholding a je ne sais quoi that makes his interactions appear special to both the recipient and the audience. A man of wealth and status, Moore never forgets his roots and remains loyal to those with whom he shares a common history. While he isn’t afraid to flaunt his money, Moore clearly still finds value in reflecting upon his sordid past.
