No we don't, but that doesn't mean we can't create something of a placeholder, because even given the extreme lack of info even vis-a-vis guys like Sokolov, we have some info.

We know what he looks like, that he owns a car, and that he's a functionary of the state or close enough to it to earn Corvo's wrath and the protection of Burrows's men. As for personality and role, we hear him discussing the plague with the guard before Corvo gets detected and specifically about the amount of "acceptable loss" (IE: that it's ok so long as the plague remains contained to the poor districts).

That, and we know when he was actually confronted, he acted like a scared deer, calling in mooks to cover his retreat, and after they got killed off he cowered for his life. That's certainly not the same for all the targets, since the Pendletons go down swinging and shooting if you attack them (judging from the trailers for The Golden Cat) but fits with the Lady Boyle that you want to kill since if the alarm goes off at the party she goes and cowers with her sisters.

We don't know much specifically about him, but that's more than we have on one or two of the named antags, with more pictures to boot. I'd be willing to pitch in for one; it could be called something generic like "Premier Trailer Victim" or "First Target" or "Grey Haired Target", detailing the pictures and how he's interested in the progress of the plague, has a car, is a member of the regime, is *utterly* contemptuous of the plight the poor suffer, and is basically a coward.

It's not much, but what do you think?
