===Background=== The boy who would be Chevalier grew up in a family with at least one younger brother. He would trigger during a car crash trapping him within a metal shell. He found out later his brother was kidnapped during the confusion; the crash had been deliberately set up by a kidnapping ring called the "Snatchers". Three years later, he heard about the group again and was almost given the codename "Relentless" for the way in which he pursued them. After taking them down, he was recruited into the [[Wards (Inaugural)|Inaugural Wards Team]] team by [[Alexandria]].<ref name="I24 e4"/> He became friends with [[Hannah]], even having a short relationship in high-school before they drifted apart as their roles ate up more of their lives.<ref name=lurve>He allowed himself a moment to think of Hannah. They’d dated briefly, then separated. It had been a high school romance, and they’d both been too busy to really pursue things. What had been one or two dates a week became ''maybes'', then had ceased to happen at all. He’d graduated to the Protectorate, changed cities, and they hadn’t said a word on the subject. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref> He became a regular attendee of Endbringer attacks and stepped into a major role in the Protectorate.<ref name="C-PRT">Chevalier started out as a Ward, which gave him a buffer of a few years where he was trained, got an education, got a rundown in tactics and exercises, and wasn't involved in things. Then he 'graduated' and became Protectorate, and given the timeframe, pretty quickly became a leader, passing on the lessons he was taught as a Ward. He's never been much of a patrol type, and putting him in that role wouldn't leverage his strengths.<br><br>Heroes can take a variety of approaches, and this includes patrolling and presence, signaling virtues (often aimed at kids), liaising with police... and it can also include more targeted takedowns of key individuals and threats. Chevalier is the guy you call in when there's someone as scary or problematic as Lung who isn't as under-the-radar as Lung was 75% of the time. They don't set him up against time manipulators like Cody or niche threats, they use him as the wrecking ball against big threats. Most of the time the investigative work is already done, or the baseline work is done, and Chevalier is decent enough as an investigator by his baseline skills (he was tracking down people even before he was a Ward). His shard-vision lets him figure out where capes are, and though he won't explicitly go after capes in their civilian identities, it's pretty good as a tool to track them down in the first place.<br><br>Sic him against warlords and monsters, get video footage where necessary, bonus points if you have video where Myrddin is helping out and Chevalier is wading through a sea of ensnaring green mist, fire, or a storm of lightning (with precautions made) to punch out or cut down a seemingly unbreakable Brute. Sell him as a pillar of virtues in a way that gets traction with kids, ensure he's surrounded by other good capes who build up his image as he's portrayed front and center, and you've got a good cape with international traction. Play on that traction by sending him overseas to deal with warlords and giant robots, master-derived minions and other threats.<br><br>I wouldn't use the loss to Cody as a mark against him. That's like saying Skitter's worthless because August Prince and Nice Guy had her on the ropes. - [https://redd.it/dbdpze Chev's Career] ([[Wildbow]], Reddit.com, 2019-09-30)</ref> Chevalier and Myrddin encountered [[Faultline’s Crew]], according to [[Newter]] they failed to capture the mercenaries.<ref name="I5">“And you beat them,” the dark haired girl said, disbelieving.<br><br>“We didn’t lose!” Newter crowed.<br><br>“It was a close call,” Gregor added his own two cents. “Chevalier is leader of Protectorate in Philadelphia. Myrddin leads Protectorate of Chicago. These are people whole world recognizes. They got positions protecting big cities in America because they are strong, because they are smart and talented. We got the job done, as we always do, and we walked away.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/interlude-5/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 5]]</ref>
