"As the flowers are all made sweeter: by the sunshine and the dew,
So this old world is made brighter: by the lives of folks like you."

.:NICKNAMES:. The Black Cat, Clyde, DC.
.:AGE:. Twenty-one.
.:SEX:. Male.
.:OCCUPATION:. Thief.
.:SIDE:. Neutral.
.:PERSONALITY:. Diego is a smooth, suave ladies man who has proved himself to be quite the eluding figure when it comes to the authorities, scouring the globe with free reign in search of rare and exotic treasures to profit from in the underground criminal organizations lurking beneath Interpol's radar. His wit is sharper than a Skarmory's feather. His speed and agility rival that of a Lucario's. His mysterious air and profound acts of varying degrees committed only for him to melt back into the shadows without any given notice leaves an almost Darkrai-esque impression on those he appears before. Viewed as a villain in most cases, the majority of his heists more often than not hardly ever mean to harm anyone in range of the crossfire. Unlike the belligerent and boisterous crime syndicates in the world, Diego works with only his Pokémon and those few select individuals he sees promise in, and rarely draws attention to himself when carrying out with his plans. Stealth is his first priority in a job. However, when not absconding from the law, he can be found charming women with his devilishly good looks and sly choice of words. He is, dare I say it, a good bad guy.
.:BACKGROUND:. Diego is the grandson of the great Black Arachnid, a legendary thief who once terrorized the streets of the small Johto town Catallia and surrounding area until he was finally captured and put behind bars nearly a hundred years ago. He was born to Conner and Lillian Catrona, but sadly, due to past health problems and an unfortunate mishap with heavy medication, Lillian succumbed to cardiac arrest only two months after Diego was born, leaving him in the care of Conner. Conner, not wanting his son to fall down the road of his wife, tried raising him as carefully as he could, being careful not the mention Cooper Catrona- The Black Arachnid- to him, lest the boy's mind be forever plagued with the fantasies of becoming a master thief like his grandfather. And it worked, believe it or not, for the first eight years. Diego's life took a turn for the worst, however, just before he turned nine. His father said he had been planning something special for him as a birthday present, and Diego was naturally excited. He was home alone the eve of his birthday and his father was cooking dinner on a gas stove, when out of the blue a gang of thieves reduced the door to splinters and ransacked the whole house with a motive that to this day remain a mystery. Conner instructed his son to hide, and with his trusted and single Pokémon Slaking, valiantly protected his home.
A Flamethrower strayed too close to the stove and Diego was the only one to survive the blast. Heartbroken and orphaned, he rummaged through the remains of the house while he waited for the police the arrive and found his present smashed and scorched under a board. In the box, there was a Meowth, probably only a weeks old, burned and unmoving. He passed out from smoke intake shortly after.
Diego awoke in a ward of a Pokémon Center in Goldenrod sometime later, and due to a misconception on an officer's part, had sent with him a thick, worn book bound with leather that he fell on at the scene they assumed belonged to him. In that book were recorded events of his grandfather's great legacy. In the orphanage he was sent to, he read everything in that book, absolutely fascinated by the Black Arachnid's glory, and then, he formulated his plan. He would carry on the man's legacy with his Meowth. In his honor, he named it Cooper, and he ran away from the orphanage. He developed the skills, gained the charm, and acted small to begin with, simple things like stealing from shops and stalls. Then he robbed a bank. Sneaked into a house. Stole artifacts from a museum. "The Black Cat" made headlines, and Diego soon made deals with underground criminal organizations- until he discovered stealing from thieves themselves was just as profitable. He employed willing Pokémon to help him and with them succeeded even more.
Diego's base lies somewhere in Sinnoh, but he's established a smaller one in Raeo, beneath an old building in Adule. Currently, he is wanted for robbing a bank there and several other theft accounts, and as always, has eluded the law.
.:CLOTHING:. Diego dresses in black when under the name of the Black Cat, always wearing his signature mask, hat, and cape, his insignia visible on the back of the latter. However, he'll wear anything when out in day.
.:HAIR:. Straight and black, wispy with some hanging in his face. Nearly indigo in sunlight.
.:EYES:. Steel gray. They almost glitter in the dark when light is near, just like a cat's.

.:POKEMON:.
