Personality

Newter is roughly 16 years old. He tends to act his own age, even pursuing girls his own age at Faultline's club. He is generally pretty lighthearted, not appearing to be stricken by looking different from "normal" people, but has shown himself to become serious while conducting business.

He has no reservations about drugging people recreationally using his bodily fluids.

Appearance

He had orange skin, light blue eyes, dark red hair, and a five foot long prehensile tail<ref name="5.1"/>. During the course of the novel he dyed his hair blue<ref name="5.6">Hive 5.6</ref> later though he would dye it pink<ref name="30.6">Speck 30.6</ref>

Newter also has a tattoo that looks like: "the greek ‘Omega’ symbol, but upside down.  Maybe a stylized ‘u’" which is "just above his heart"<ref name="5.1">Hive 5.1</ref>.

Abilities and Powers

He is able to leap in excess of 15 feet exceedingly fast (it is said that it takes the same time for him to leap from one opponent to another as it takes Skitter to throw a punch).

He appears to moves in a half-run half-crawl manner which allows him to move faster than the average person (was easily able to keep up with Brutus when he was larger than a horse).

Additionally, any of his bodily fluids (including sweat) contained powerful hallucinogens which can "send someone off to la-la land" in "only a few seconds"<ref name="5.6"/>. When Newter brushed against some of Skitter's bugs they "dropped off the wall or out of the sky, falling to the ground, alive but stunned."<ref name="5.6"/> Skitter indicates in this same passage that several of the people that Newter were fighting were removed from the fight before he even touched them leading her to believe that he hit them with either "blood" or "spit"<ref name="5.6"/>. This deviant body chemistry extends to the point that he does not get infections from foreign microbes.

Additionally, his ability to move vertically appears to be exponentially better than the average person as at one point "he darted up the side of the building and slipped into an open window like a bolt of greased lightning"<ref name="5.6"/> presumably indicating that he has some form of enhanced ability to grip objects (wall-crawling).

History

Background

Waking completely empty of his past life Newter would wander the streets before he was recruited by Faultline.

Gang War

When the Azn Bad Boys went on a rampage Newter is seen for the first time at the villain meeting to decide the course of action the criminal elements of Brockton Bay would take.
