I've gotten so into this guy since I first saw his ads, because he's so awesome, so I decided to try and make a bio for him to use in a roleplay. :D It's difficult since he doesn't have a name or a background in his original form, and let's face it, part of his awesomeness is his mystery.
Still, I gave it a shot. Give lots of critique, both good and bad, please! Depending on the critique, I might edit the character bio and change and update it to make it better. :D
Anyway, here goes nothing!

Name: Joaquim Guevara
Nationality: Mexican
Age: 64
Occupation: Adventurer, spy, private detective, playboy, millionaire, businessman
Personality: Cool and composed, Guevara is one of those people who never seem to be surprised, put off, or taken aback. He is always calm, and rarely shows emotions. He is a gentleman and a loyal friend, a magnet among women and an anchor of composure among men. He is also very charming, and very gentle - however, while a lover, he is also a fighter when he has to be.
Appearance: Muscular, but not bulky, Joaquim Guevara is a handsome man by any accounts, despite his age. He's got a fullgrown grey beard and salt 'n pepper-colored, back-combed hair that perfectly frames a tanned, square face. His eyes are penetrating, icy blue that can be intimidating at first sight. However, he's got wrinkles around them that signify a lifetime of laughter and zest for life.
Guevara usually wears tailored dark suits and expensive silk shirts. He never wears necklaces or other jewelry, but he never leaves anywhere without his Rolex, and he would never be caught dead wearing sunglasses, or dressing like a slob for that matter. He speaks perfect English with a Mexican accent.
Bio: Joaquim was born the son of a Mexican diplomat. As a result he spent his youth travelling around the world with his father. He spent time living in Japan, China, Thailand, France, Italy, and many other places when he grew up. His father was a very rich man, and part of raising his son included forming him into a gentleman, which no doubt helped Joquim Guevara to become the man he is today.
When he turned nineteen, Joaquim enrolled at Rhodes University in South Africa, where he studied languages and literature. On his free time during this period, he was an avid practitioner of fanchento, a local variation of Jeet Kune Do. His interests for martial arts had followed him since his time of living in Japan with his father, where he had previously practiced Kendo in a dojo in Tokyo.
When Guevara finished his studies at Rhodes, he began a long period of travelling the world as an adventurer. His adventures brought him to almost every corner of the world, from the rain forests of South America to the mountains of Tibet and the deserts of Africa and the Middle East. He worked as an importer and exporter at times, and at other times took odd jobs such as as a diamond miner or archaeologist.
He also occasionally worked for British and American intelligence services, a relation that, in time, developed him into a full-fledged agent that was used by the agencies when there was trouble, something he had a natural knack for getting out of alive, as a skilled fighter as well as a passionate lover. Some within the intelligence agencies at this time compared him to a real-life James Bond.
In time, he moved to the United States, where he began to work as an advisor, lecturer and troubleshooter. Most of his time, however, was occupied by his almost playboyish lifestyle and unusual hobbies, mostly extreme sports and martial arts. Despite his age, he is still in excellent physical and mental condition.
