[edit] Background

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Piz is Wallace Fennel's roommate at Hearst College. He is 19, a Libra and his hometown is Beaverton, Oregon.[1] Piz has his own radio show.

Veronica was introduced to Piz when she helped him discover who had stolen his belongings as he was first moving into his dorm room. Since then, he appears to have developed a deep infatuation with Veronica, which she does not appear to return. Parker briefly showed interest in him, but he brushed it off because she "wasn't his type".

[edit] Quotes

"I rarely wear clothes indoors, I hope that's cool."

"I don't wanna be one of those mumbly college radio, emo rocker guys who just, all they wanna do is play their band's demo, you know? Though, uh, I-I should mention that my band really is quite good. We're, we're called Black Licorice, which is really cool 'cause it's dark and moody, but at the same time it's candy, you know?"

"Hey, Veronica. Cool shirt. I-I went for the, uh, post-ironic route."

"Portland. Or, well, just outside of Portland, this little suburb called Beaverton. Real salt of the Earth people, you know, minivan in every driveway, chicken in every pot." (on his hometown)

"Hey, gang. What's the word? Is it "avuncular"? ...No? Just a shot in the dark."
