Details

Super Abilities

Foreknowledge

• May be "super" or mundane
• Has curiously-accurate information about upcoming catastrophes, and supers (including, in some cases, their secret identities)
  • Includes knowledge of the upcoming "Blackout" event
• Source of his foreknowledge may be time-travel, super-intelligence, mathematical/computer projections, genius AI, precognition, or something else

Personality

• Plays everything close-to-the-vest; lots of secrets, and doesn't give up any.

Background

Virtually nothing is known about his identity or history. From time to time, hints may slip out:

• Possible government/defense connection
• Possible research/science connection

Projects

Appears to be gathering "supers" and putting them to work solving "problems," preparing them for "what's to come."

Project Proteus

• Operative: Uriel

Project Spectrum

Behind the scenes: the running idea is that Davenport was "rescued" by the Angel of Knight City shortly after his appearance; he was impressed enough with his performance and abilities that he immediately set himself to recruiting him to relieve the increasingly-overwhelmed Uriel.

• Primary operative: Raphael
• Later, Michael Fox will be unofficially incorporated (Ref: "Diggle", Arrow)
• Later than that, Rhett Mercatos and Samantha Marsh will be unofficially incorporated (Ref: "Arsenal," "Speedy," Arrow)

Other Projects

Other Projects may be active in other areas, or in the process of spinning up.

Traits

Access to Cutting-Edge (@TL) Tech; Digital Omnipresence; Near-Unlimited Resources

For the GM

• Should eventually end up meeting PC(s) in person, but they should have to earn it. Until then, should be in question whether or not he's even "real."
• Original character was a time-traveler, gone back to prevent some supers-related catastrophe. A later version reversed that, predicting the future instead. Here the GM has some leeway to decide how he gets his info.

Notes
