}}'''Balk''' is a heroic member of the [[Wardens]], who serves under [[Stonewall]].

==Personality==
Balk has strong leadership qualities, and is war-hardened.<ref>Balk was one of the guys who’d been at the warfront.  His squad and his team were more about getting shit done than playing nice.  Which might have been what we needed right now, but it wasn’t my rhythm. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/09/dying-15-2/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.2]]</ref>

==Appearance==
He wears a red bodysuit, with heavy-ish silver armor.<ref>He wore the bodysuit with armor, a little heavier than I tended to appreciate, but the armor was stylized to use negative space well.  Circles and spike studs, red costume, silver armor.  Nice hair. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/09/dying-15-2/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.2]]</ref>

==Abilities and Powers==
Balk controls a metal ball, that he can move around at supersonic velocities.<ref>Balk held up his hand.  A sphere of metal returned to his hand with a violent impact, faster than the eye could see. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/09/dying-15-2/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.2]]</ref> He is also capable of flight, using it to dodge and recover during close quarters combat.<ref>He was a more methodical fighter than I was.  Each punch and kick was intended to count.  He didn’t utilize in-flight rotations to boost his power, instead dropping to the ground when he wanted to sling hits, but he did tumble and fall more often, using flight to rise to his feet.  The hits were punctuated by throws and the surprise returns of the metal ball. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/09/dying-15-2/ Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.2]]</ref>

==History==
===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
Balk and [[Stonewall]]'s team were found by [[Antares]], holding their position in [[Teacher]]'s Compound. Balk was in charge of the fliers.

Balk was beheaded by one of [[Saint]]'s mecha-angels.<ref>I could see Sarah flying at an angle as she fell.  Going to others who were unconscious or unable.  To Balk, then abandoning him a second later.  He continued to drop, and the rotation of his fall gave me a glimpse of what she’d just discovered for herself.  Head gone. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/20/dying-15-5/ Excerpt] from[[Dying 15.5]]</ref>
