K. Remington O'Toole was born and raised in New York City. She's an American polyglot who always disappears into some strange corner of the world. She often goes by Remy and is wanted by the FBI, CIA... and the MVD (14 parking violations) Wearing a black or blonde wig, she will always have a pet with her, and drinks screwdrivers without the orange juice. UPDATE: She was last seen living in the Ecuadorian Amazon with the Auca Indians. She has a pet Howler monkey and is a champ with a blowgun. Never take a check from her and be careful of your wallet. Other than that, tell her 'hello' from Officer Johnson who is STILL looking for her after that chase on the 405 freeway.
