Background/Personality

Willem van den Broek (Lemmi, to his friends) was an accomplished android Designer and avid Martial Arts disciple in Amsterdam before joining the original Warden Crew. He's having a remarkably easy time coming to grips with the imperfect cloning (he was never 100% on the "being Dutch thing"). He still enjoys the Blues, and is surprisingly good with a harmonica, which is handy, as he is unable to form human speech (the Telepathy helps some too).
