A stunt accident triggered a latent metagene, forming a kinetic forcefield exoshell around him. He hides under a tough-guy persona but is the gentlest of the Guild. His power is Energy armor; shockwave leaps; damage absorption. Feels guilty the Guild abandoned Earth. Tries to mentor Jacob, though Jacob doesn’t trust him. Represents the “good” part of the old guard. His public myth was that he's a stuntman who “should've died twice."
