He is internet savvy and keeps copies of many of his most important books on his laptop. He has a physical library as well, but rarely consults it. That might be a weakness on his part; because only a fraction of the most important tomes have been converted to digital format to date and he relies on technology, he is reticent to go back to the old way of doing things.Dafydd is British (of course) with a Welsh accent, having been born and raised in Caernarfon, Wales. He attended Oxford University for his undergraduate studies with a major in Computer Science (Programming) and a minor in The Occult. He completed a Doctorate in Programming Language Design at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology then earned a Master's in Renaissance Studies at Victoria University in Toronto and a Doctorate in Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto all while performing post-graduate studies in computer programming. He accomplished all of this by the age of 26, then moved back to Great Britain for a short period of time, ostensibly to serve as a professor in an English college, but actually received training as a Watcher. He had been called before attending Oxford and part of doing his graduate and post-graduate studies in Ontario was to prepare him for being a Watcher there. He has recently returned to Ontario to be assigned to a new slayer. The Watcher's Council has never been fond of the fact that he has been so interested in technology, but they have begun to begrudgingly accept that in order to effectively combat the supernatural dangers in the world they are going to have to adapt.Dafydd presently serves as the supervisor of the student computer facility at a local college in Waterloo, Ontario. Of course he has things like crossbows and stakes all over the place and his students are always asking him what those things are for, not to mention his Necronomicon screen saver. (He happened to like Army of Darkness, okay?)He spends most of his time in front of a screen, but doesn't slack on exercise, just to keep himself moderately fit. He's nothing of a sportsman at all though. Never even stepped foot on a sports field. His athletics have all been of a more practical nature and even that has been just the basics. He's much happier browsing the web or making his latest digital scans of various tomes so he can search them more quickly. He's even started a Watcher Wiki, although it has yet to catch on; he's the only Watcher to post to it as of yet.[/sblock]</blockquote>
