Personality and Skills
Personality
Gruff, no-nonsense, steadfast, compassionate, careful. He’s good at being the voice of caution and balance; he’s also good at spotting problems or viewpoints that others are ignoring. He used to be a sergeant in the military and it often shows: he’ll tolerate a small amount of wrongdoing but comes down hard on those he perceives as crossing lines. Siddesh is a baptised Sikh, a source of strength for him. His faith preaches against intoxication, gossip, blind spirituality and extramarital affairs, and though he attempts to hold to his faith’s other tenet of respecting the lifestyles of others, he doesn’t always find it easy.
Skills/Weaknesses
Biography
A military man for nearly thirty years, Siddesh has spent retirement moving between different mutant groups and familiarising himself with what movements exist. He seems to have settled into his role within the school - though he makes no bones about the fact that he thinks the road to equality is going to be a lot more difficult and dangerous than the more optimistic members of the School seem to believe.
He has an ex-wife with whom he parted on amicable terms, a platonic life partner who currently lives in Washington DC, and five grown children, most of which live outside of the US and have families of their own. However, he values his privacy and rarely discusses his family with strangers, a tendency that has increased with his involvement in pro-mutant affairs.

Skills/Weaknesses
- POWERS - Siddesh is familiar with a wide variety of plant forms ranging from the helpful to the toxic, and knows how to use what some see as a fairly inoffensive power for maximum damage. His abilities aren’t a great deal of help in an emergency, though, as it’s difficult to have the correct minerals on hand to sustain large amounts of growth without considerable prior preparation.
- ACADEMICS - Though not necessarily the most academically-minded of people, Siddesh has a keen interest in world politics and is knowledgeable enough to give a good general overview to the students. His teaching style usually involves agreeing on a specific current international event to investigate with his class, and conducting research into the situation in a collaborative effort between teacher and class.
