History

Background

Received his powers from Cauldron.<ref name="I24">Interlude 24</ref>

Post-Echidna

As with many Cauldron-made capes Pretender's loyalties got under suspicion after Echidna crisis. Except his fortune dived even lower after he killed a government thinker (likely, to cover his tracks or as favor to Cauldron) and got arrested.

He hired Bambina, August Prince, and Starlet to free him as he was moved by the Protectorate to a more secure location. While they provided distraction, he was retrieved by Contessa.<ref name="23.2"/>

During the fight with Behemoth in New Delhi, he took control over Alexandria's braindead body to fight the Endbringer.<ref name="I24"/>

Golden Morning

During mayhem in Cauldron Compound Pretender was using Alexandria to bodyguard Doctor Mother,<ref>Venom 29.7</ref> and later helped Taylor's team to annoy Scion<ref>Venom 29.8</ref> and evacuate.<ref>Venom 29.9</ref>

Alexandria's body was eventually destroyed in a fight with Scion, presumably killing Pretender.<ref name="30.5">Speck 30.5</ref>
