Editing Aegis (section)

==History==
===Background===
Carlos likely [[Trigger]]ed between two and three years ago at age fifteen,<ref name="SB_age">Aegis is 17, very nearly 18, old for his grade level, he's already graduated high school and is taking prelim college courses (not the same courses as Faultline & Glory Girl). He triggered at 15. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/17584328 Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref> and joined the Brockton Bay Wards team. Following [[Triumph]]'s graduation into the Brockton Bay [[Protectorate]], Aegis became the leader of the Wards.
===Story Start===
During the [[battle at the Bank]], Aegis led the Brockton Bay Wards to the bank after it was learned that the Undersiders were robbing it. He switched costumes with [[Clockblocker]] in an attempt to fool the Undersiders and have Clockblocker tag them, but this plan was foiled by [[Lisa Wilbourn|Tattletale's]] power and he took a significant amount of damage from [[Rachel Lindt|Hellhound's]] dogs.<ref name="I3 e1">“Director Piggot. Ma’am,” Aegis greeted her, his voice strained. His costume was in shreds, and was more crimson with his own blood than it was its original white. It was bad enough his civilian identity might have been revealed, if it weren’t for the matted blood and the chunks of meat that had been taken out of him, some of the wounds nearly a foot across.<br/><br/>“Good god, Aegis,” her eyebrows raised a fraction, “You look like hell. What’s wrong with your voice?”<br/><br/>“Punctured lung, ma’am,” Aegis rasped, “I think there’s a hole in my front and back.” As if to demonstrate, he stuck his fingers into his chest cavity.<br/><br/>Director Piggot didn’t look away, but one of the men standing behind her looked a touch green around the gills, “I can take you at your word. You don’t need to stick your arm all the way through your chest to demonstrate.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/interlude-3-2/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3]]</ref>  He later volunteered to be the last person [[Panacea]] healed, while debriefing the Wards.

During the [[Collapse of the Empire Eighty-Eight]] Aegis appeared alongside [[New Wave|New Wave's]] flyers, fighting against [[Purity]], [[Rune]], and [[Crusader]].<ref>New Wave’s fliers and Purity weren’t the only ones in the air.  Aegis was also up there on the side of the good guys, but Purity had backup from Crusader and Rune. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/buzz-7-9/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.9]]</ref>

Director Piggot planned to restructure the Brockton Bay Protectorate and Wards teams, swapping Aegis with [[Weld]]. She and the PRT wanted to see how Aegis would handle leading a different team.<ref>“Piggot has decided to take action in reflection of recent events.  Both the Wards and the Protectorate are being restructured.”<br/><br/>Hannah winced, “How bad?”<br/><br/>Shrugging, Colin told her, “As far as the Wards go, we’re losing Aegis.  Piggot and the PRT want to see how he does leading a different team, and the boy’s parents are amenable.  He’ll stay in the Wards for a little longer, to suggest he’s younger than he is.”<br/><br/>“A shame.  Who do we get?”<br/><br/>“It’s a swap.  It’ll be Weld from the Boston team.” - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/28/interlude-7/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 7]]</ref>
===[[Battle against Leviathan]]===
Aegis spoke with a group of other Wards before [[Legend|Legend's]] speech<ref>[[Extermination 8.1]]</ref> and tried to defend other capes by tanking attacks during the fight itself.<ref>[[Extermination 8.3]]</ref>

When Leviathan was trapped, Aegis was assigned to an aerial route to prevent it from heading to the rooftops. He was killed when the Endbringer escaped.<ref>''Manpower deceased, CD-6.  Aegis deceased,'' CD-6, my armband spoke, at the same moment my bugs reached the area around where Leviathan had been.<br/><br/>He was awake again.<br/><br/>Aegis would have been covering an aerial route, keeping Leviathan from heading to the rooftops, which meant Leviathan went up.  I had the mass of roaches ascend, trying to get a sense of his location.  I tried to use my armband to help gauge the direction he was traveling, but since I couldn’t move my arm, it was difficult at best. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/extermination-8-4/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.4]]</ref> His body was so completely and utterly smashed that his powers could not do a thing to prevent his death.<ref name="R1"/> The damage was so absolute that no redundancy in his system could keep the resulting pulp alive, [[Clockblocker]] verified his death.<ref>When Aegis was mashed to a literal pulp by Leviathan, to the point that he couldn’t function anymore, when he ''died'', despite his power?  I got to see the remains to verify for myself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/26 Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.3]]</ref>
===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Aegis' name was added to the [[Endbringer Fight Memorial|Endbringer monument]].<ref>Taylor looked at only 3 of the 4 sides. Note that it doesn’t cover A-G or some such. -[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/extermination-8-8/#comment-52502 Comment] by [[Wildbow]] on [[Extermination 8.8]]</ref>
