[edit] History
Liam's first manga appearance was in Return of Gino, in which he was on his phone, making arrangements with three girls, including Moira and Vanessa. The first he was calling, however, was not named, and so leaves the possibility that it may not have been a girl. He was also in Gino's Recovery, with Ian, Sasha, Moira and Vanessa. Moira and Vanessa were talking about who they were both seeing, Liam, but neither realised he was the same person.
In Valentine's Day '06 he asked Moira to be his valentine, offering her the Natural Coral Pendant which, at 1,343 Gold, he could not afford.
In We Come In... Piece? it was revealed to Sasha, Moira and Vanessa that Liam was seeing all three of them. They rushed into the ballroom to act out their revenge to see him being pulled up by the beam of a Zurg spaceship. The girls pulled on the beam, causing the ship to crash. It was mentioned afterwards in Return of 09 that he was 'recovering nicely but might walk a little bow-legged for a while'.
Liam was a team captain for Aekea in the Summer Festival 2k7. Later in Damian, he was in Barton Pub with Gino Gambino, where they were both kidnapped by Anna Corinne and Marie Von Helson. In Unveiled, he was still none-the-wiser of Vladimir Von Helson's plans, thinking his chains were part of a kinky bondage session the girls would provide. Later in Gun Show, he escaped death by seducing the sisters, who were so overwhelmed that they had to release him from his chains.
Liam's Quest revealed that he was still not getting along with Sasha, Moira and Vanessa, and so he enlisted the help of visitors to his shop to ask other men advice about love, and deliver letters to the girls. It failed.
He's now one of the leaders for the Gaian Rejected Olympics, where each town has banded with an outside (or rather unknown inside!) force in order to demolish the others through a series of user games, including "Washing Liam." In the final manga for the Gaian Prom Event he ended up taking Natasha to the dance.
[edit] Trivia
- As opposed to the other Gaian NPCs, who have a fan club, Liam instead has the LAA, Liam Abusers Anonymous. This group has featured Liam in many comics in which he is transformed into a woman, as well as other comical fates.
- The avatar display of the account for [NPC] Liam was once inadvertently deleted. It is unknown when or how this occurred, however the account was restored in August of 2007.
