One of the squad that failed to prevent the kidnapping of Captain Thunder from his trial.

Patriot. Devoted to the safety of the President.

KotC ENCOUNTERS: 
- amongst those to try to capture the rogue Knights when they attempted to liberate Victor Stewart from the cellblock where he was being held.

- was able to contain his antipathy towards the group long enough to join with them to raid the New York base of the Industrial Revolution. Fought fiercely (particularly against a pesky animech) against the machines and spearheaded the retreat from that base to protect the President after he was encountered therein. Suffered some damage during this action, which also saw Cru-S suffer an unknown fate.

- numbered amongst those assigned to escort the captive Phoenix to the Humanidyne labs as part of the operation known colloquially as Operation Goody Goody Two Shoes. Came under the unexpected assault of minions of Dr. Cyclops and was incapacitated, only to be (ironically and embarassingly) rescued by Phoenix.

KotC COMMENTS: 
- Hazardman: "Go, go Gadget Arm! Neat!"
- Templar: "I'm sure the President sleeps better knowing that heroes of this sort are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to throw themselves into the very jaws of lions in order to satisfy his most insignificant whim."
