Editing Triumph (section)

===Background===
Rory was a perpetual second place baseball player until he went to his father for help. His father gave him a vial that enhanced his strength, speed, and capabilities. Unfortunately, it also destroyed his dreams of ever playing Major League baseball, since mere months later the Leagues started mandating MRI scans for all players to "check for powers and maintain the integrity of the game."<ref name="I15-2"> Irony had reared her ugly head when the major leagues had mandated MRI scans to check for powers and maintain the integrity of the game, mere months after he'd gained athletic ability that would let him compete. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/interlude-15/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15]]</ref>

Baseball dreams crumbling around him, Rory joined the [[Brockton Bay]] [[Wards]] in 2008.<ref name="15.x eThreeYears">He was still relatively new to this. Three years of duty, most of which had been spent among the Wards. Was he the only one who was just old enough to speak out, not yet so old and jaded that he acceded to authority over anything else?<br><br>Or was it the opposite? Was he of the age where he had the ignorance of youth coupled with the arrogance of adulthood? - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/interlude-15/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15]]</ref> He served as captain for a few years;<ref name="9.1 e1">"One. I was hoping to arrange interstate training sessions with the New York and Boston Wards groups. As far as I'm aware, the local team doesn't do this. They barely have regular situation training."<br><br>"I recall Triumph made a request for something like this, a few years ago. I believe we refused him on the grounds that it was frivolous." - [[Sentinel 9.1]]</ref> in 2010, he was still on the team with [[Kid Win]].<ref name="15.x eDisconnect"/><ref>Armsmaster would usually pull in Miss Militia and Triumph to help make the top-level decisions. Already, some roles were penned in. Triumph and Gallant were down for the video game thing. Probably because they were the only ones who hadn't sat in yet.<br>[...]<br>Aegis, Gallant, and Kid Win were there, eating sandwiches from the vendor who was set up in one corner, to serve staff.<br><br>"No Vista?" he asked them. "I thought she was coming tonight." - [[Heavens 12.none]]</ref> Rory once asked [[Emily Piggot|Director Piggot]] to arrange interstate training sessions with the [[New York]] and [[Boston]] groups, but was refused.<ref name="9.1 e1"/>

Gifted with natural strength, athleticism and durability by his powers, he is capable of delivering controlled concussive blasts with his voice. - Cast Page</ref><!--https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/--><ref name="15.x eDisconnect">He felt so disconnected from the Wards, these days. He barely recognized his old team. Vista, Kid Win, Clockblocker… he'd been their captain, not so long ago. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/20/interlude-15/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15]]</ref><ref name="15.x eThreeYears"/> [[Grue]] initially thought he was a [[Wards|Ward]] when planning the [[Battle at the Bank|bank robbery]].<ref name="3.3 e1"/>
