HIDE HISTORY

Brian was first introduced to the staff of the Multiplex when provided Franklin his winning entry in the Stupid Question of the Year Awards for 2005, but soon after began working at the theater and began dating Sunny. By all appearances, they were a happy, if slightly horny couple, but we soon learned that Brian cheated on her with Gretchen.

After Sunny and Brian break up, he professed his love to Gretchen, who rebuffed him, calling him "an idiot." Brian denied this, and to prove it, he revealed that he had been pretending to be stupid since he started at the Multiplex 10, in order to steal from the theater without suspicion. Gretchen sold him out, though, and he was fired. According to the December 2007 Multiplex Examiner, Brian was arrested and likely to be charged with a misdemeanor.

Since leaving the Multiplex, he has apparently stepped up his young criminal career…

HIDE HISTORY

Devi is known to have worked at the Multiplex 10 prior to her first appearance in the strip. At that time, she was dating someone and shared a minor flirtation with Jason. Back at the Multiplex the following summer, except single, they recommenced their flirtation and eventually began dating.

When Devi returned to school at the SVA in New York City in the fall, they continued seeing each other long distance. Devi returned to the Multiplex 10 again, in the summer of 2007, but Devi and Jason had a rocky transition back to a same-city couple and soon broke up, whereupon Devi quit the Multiplex 10 and decided to finish the rest of her summer back in New York.

Devi started dating someone a few months later. She returned to Chicago for an internship in the summer of 2008, but didn't drop by the theater very often.

Recently, after graduating from the SVA, Devi decided to move back to Chicago, to be near her family. Apparently single now, her and Jason have started hanging out again… not entirely platonically. She is employed as the assistant to a wedding photographer.

HIDE HISTORY

The Multiplex 10’s largely absent assistant manager, Allen, is known to frequently surf for porn on the Multiplex's computers and delegate much of his work to the other managers below him.

When the truth came out about Brian stealing from the Multiplex, Allen covered up the amount of Brian's theft in order to make it look less serious.

Some months later, Gretchen wrote a sensationalized article about Franklin organizing a video game tournament after-hours using the theater's new digital projectors, in violation of company policy, whereupon Allen convinced Franklin that the Multiplex's corporate owners considered this breach of policy theft and fired him. Allen even tried to use the opportunity to (illegally) take money from Franklin's last check, however Neil put a stop to this by alerting the local projectionist's union.

Allen had filed a different termination form with corporate than the copy they'd kept on file at the Multiplex 10 — one with a much less serious reason for termination, presumably — as with Brian's termination — so that it wouldn't be scrutinized as closely by corporate. Unfortunately for Allen, Neil was onto him. After Neil learned that Allen had covered up the amount of Brian's theft in order to withhold his last paycheck for himself (in the same way he had done later with Franklin), he alerted the Multiplex 10's corporate parents' accounting department, and an investigation revealed other "irregularities."

Allen was "laid off" not long after.

HIDE HISTORY

One of the newest additions to the Multiplex 10 Staff, little is known about Keith except that he knows Kurt from school and shares Kurt's demented sense of humor.

Keith was soon trained as a projectionist, where he spent his spare time reading comic books in isolation.

Keith found himself drawn to the Multiplex 10's resident goth girl, Angie, initially just being unreasonably jealous of her friendship with the other male staff workers, particularly Jason (whom she dated for several months before breaking up amicably). He became increasingly unhinged until he finally passed the tipping point and roughly pushed Jason during one of the gang's horror-movie-style pranks, nearly breaking Jason's nose.

The same evening, Keith also told Jason's then-girlfriend Lydia somewhat distorted information about Jason's caddish attitude about her when they had first started dating, prompting her to break up with him. Jason roughly confronted Keith about it, during with Angie overheard the two and angrily gave her would-be suitor a piece of her mind — but Norma, one of the assistant managers overheard enough of the conversation to feel justified in terminating Keith.
