Personality
He is respectful, honest, and kind to just about everyone barring Cauldron, the Slaughterhouse 9, and the rest of the "true" villains.
While his size and strength lend many to view him as a simple front line combatant he has a keen intelligence with analytical and tactical insight.[citation needed] However he struggles with the changes his body has gone through having lost much of his ability to taste, feel pressure, and smell. It is unknown to the full extent that his senses have been affected<ref name="outside source">What constitutes a "Sense"</ref>. He is highly reliant on music as a coping mechanism as a result.<ref name="9.1">Sentinel 9.1</ref>
He does not strictly need to eat and functions on less sleep then normal for humans. His emotional range is also affected. He states that he does not have adrenaline or really feel fear because his body does not produce the chemicals for it. [citation needed]
Relationships
Taylor Hebert
Weld was genial to Skitter at their first meeting though neither of them had been introduced at the time and were about to face an Endbringer under the Truce. While professional in his obligation to place her in custody as a PRT sponsored hero, Weld was willing to listen to Taylor when the situation called for it.
Weld is described by Taylor as being "one of the only decent ones out there..."
PRT
Weld was promoted to head of the Brockton Bay to be the ‘face’ for the more "deviant" members of the Protectorate. Hopefully with his success leading the Brockton By Wards team he will eventually go on to lead a city’s Protectorate team. <ref name="9.1">Sentinel 9.1</ref>
Irregulars
Wards
Appearance
Weld's body is made entirely of metals. He is described as being mostly a dusky dark grey though weather this is his natural or "default" coloring or because he absorbed a large amount of such metal is unknown, but with silver tracing his musculature and silver eyes. After creating the Irregulars he is described as having reformatted his overall appearance, forming scales and small horns throughout his body.
Abilities and Powers
Weld, as a Case 53, possesses a completely metallic physiology. Due to his unique physiology, he is stronger and more durable than others - in his words, 'practically untouchable in a fight'. It also gives him another advantage as it falls into a middle ground between organic and inorganic which renders him immune to select powers.
Weld can rearrange the metals that form his body, separate them into their composite elements, and push the impurities out of his skin - allowing him to handle things metallic objects with his hands and teeth if he needs to. He can also force parts of himself to melt and drop off, leaving a part of himself behind which makes him distinctly uncomfortable until he replaces the tissue he's lost. This assimilation effect is largely how he repairs damage to his body.
His entire body is metallic down to his inner organs. In addition to having silver eyes his equivalent of inner organs are made of gold and silver.[citation needed] His malleable physiology allows him to survive what would be grievous if not fatal injuries to a baseline Human being.
History
Background
He woke up amnesic in a scrapyard where he spent an inordinate amount of time separating himself from the metal that had been fused to his body. It is unknown if this was in Boston but he would eventually be recruited to the Boston Wards team by Director Armstrong, who would became something of a father figure to Weld.
Coming to Brockton Bay
Weld was deployed to Brockton Bay as part of the response to the Endbringer incursion. With the aftermath of the attack he would be transferred to the city as the new team leader.
