Thomas Calvert was a supervillian and the head of Fortress Construction.
Background:
Calvert was PRT special forces. He and Emily Piggot are the only two survivors of Nilbog.
Personality:
[Coming Soon]
Appearance:
Thomas is described as an unnaturally thin man. As Coil, he wears a skintight black bodysuit with a white snake curling around it, its head on his forehead and its tail at one ankle.
Abilities and Powers:
Calvert's power appears to him as the ability to split the world into two timelines and then collapse whichever one he likes less afterwards. This power allows him to attempt different courses of action regarding a situation and then pick the timeline he wants to keep while retaining the knowledge of the other timeline.
(Per the author, his power is in fact precognition. His shard simulates both timelines until one of the Calvert simulations dies or chooses to end the timeline; it then plays the recording of the path not chosen back to him in real time.)<ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/2e3jdx/coil_and_the_coins_wildbows_mistake_spoilers_608/</ref>
He is arguably one of the most powerful villains in Brockton Bay not only because of his power, but because of how powerful his employees are. He funded the Undersiders, Travelers, Circus, Chariot, Trainwreck, Uber and Leet, and had the money to hire Faultline’s Crew as needed. He also had a large mercenary force outfitted with top-of-the-line gear.
Calvert's power was purchased from Cauldron.
History:
[Coming Soon]
