Description

Equipment

The Broker carries a solid wooden cane with a polished steel globe handle with him wherever he goes, though he never uses it to support his step, it seems more to complete his look than to assist him.

Ability: The Broker has the ability to create physical extensions of his own consciousness, ranging in complexity of form from something as simple as a fly to as complex as a full grown man. He is capable of splitting his attention among many of these extensions, the simpler it is the more he can manage. He experiences everything these forms do; sights, smells, sounds, and even pain. The pain, however, is strictly superficial, inflicting no real injury upon his body, but the pain can be enough to distract and even break some of his extensions.

History

The Broker was born to a poor family in North Carolina, his medical conditions severe from birth. His paralysis left him requiring constant care and attention. By the age of five his family had spiraled into an ever mounting debt with no hope of escape. It was then that a representative of Law corp, using a false identity, showed up like an angel sent from god, with promises of a place where their child would be taken care of, that their debts would be taken care of. His parents accepted the offer with very little thought, seeing it as their only choice. This was the beginning of his life.

His fragile body led the scientists to take more care with his tests, finding any way to unlock his abilities without destroying him completely. His abilities began to manifest within the year, creating small creatures such as flies, beetles and rats. Over the years his powers improved, becoming capable of more and more complex and numerous extensions of his mind. His powers were seen to have only one use, espionage, and that's what he was trained for.

At the age of 20 he gained his freedom thanks to the Organization, but refused their offer. He disappeared, and a month later, The Broker had appeared, dressed in his suit and tie. He gathered information, and used it as he saw fit, anything from blackmail to industrial espionage, he was soon a whisper on the lips of every man and woman that had something to hide, or something to find.

Gathering untold amounts of money and influence in the last year, at the age of 21, he is now behind a revamping of the Basin. New buildings going up, dilapidated buildings being renovated, the scene in the Basin has begun to change. The homeless and the destitute finding themselves employed and well payed to do these projects. Slowly the Broker seemed to be giving power to the powerless, or building a power base beyond just information.
