<!--I know we don't hear much about him other than he was the greatest Tinker in the world at the time (Legend theorized his powers had to do with wavelength manipulations). Other than that we hear he had a disintegration gun, sonics, and a jet-pack which just sounds like stuff Legend can do but better. | |||
Wildbow: | |||
Keep in mind that wavelengths are reference specifically by Scion in relation to Jack and Jack's secondary power. They're also mentioned frequently in the context of Scion - ripples and waves. Finally, it's also suggested that they didn't even really realize he had a focus at all - he was broad in what he could do. | |||
Do you see how these ideas connect? | |||
Eden was the scholar, Scion the soldier. They had the same tools, but empathized different ones. So picture Eden taking the primary tools that Scion had and giving them to a tinker so the human could use human ingenuity to explore those tools. Naturally it would be paced out by needing to design and tinker and find materials, using those materials in a sorta kludgy way (ie. have to carry the items, pull triggers, type stuff in), and would have some limitations she tacked on. Except she broke down before she could tailor the restriction part, leading to a vial giving some Scion Lite tools to an otherwise unrestricted tinker, who then joined/helped form an organization that gave him endless materials. That's Hero. | |||

History
Background
For much of his early life he was beset with innumerable health problems.<ref>Interlude 29</ref>
Career
Hero was introduced to Alexandria and said that he had heard of her before mentioning how her takedown of Strongarm and Mongler was impressive. He then listened as Doctor Mother told them about Alexandria's abilities before she asked them to consider two things. Alexandria explained her idea of forming a government-regulated superhero team and Hero asked her why she would want him or Legend to lead it instead of Eidolon.
Alexandria told him that Eidolon was too powerful and that he wouldn't be able to convey the impression they wanted. He then listened as Alexandria explained how her plan would survive contact with the government before saying that it seemed too manipulative. Alexandria offered him the information regarding the plan and asked him to consider it.
After Contessa had Doormaker open a portal, he approached it alongside Eidolon and looked out of it. Doctor Mother told him that was where she would base her operations in the future and confirmed that it was another Earth. Professor Manton handed out booklets detailing Alexandria's plan before he traveled through a portal to Chicago.
Hero was present when Behemoth emerged. After seeing what Behemoth could do, Legend told him to call for as much help as he could. He then cursed as he was informed that they were close to some major oil fields. Later, Hero was sworn in alongside Alexandria, Legend, and Eidolon as one of the founding members of the Protectorate.
Case 1
Hero and Alexandria were the last to arrive on the scene, entering through a window, before he asked if they had gotten Siberian cornered. He wondered about why the cape hadn't tried to leave before Legend told them that she had a hostage. He listened as Legend told them that they would be trying out a new experimental procedure before entering. After shrugging out of the crystals Eidolon attempted to confine her with, Siberian lunged towards Hero. She plunged her hand through his chest cavity and bisected him before Eidolon carried him outside. Eidolon attempted to heal him, but Hero ultimately died.<ref>15.z (Donation Interlude 3; Alexandria)</ref>
