Reeve Blue is a laid back man who tends to take most things with stride, even things that may seem fantastic to most, seem mundane or ordinary to him. To sum him up best, he's jaded, relaxed and low key. He doesn't flaunt his standing or position unless put in the situation to do so. He's a short skinny man who often wears a smile on his face even when things grow tough, he's a natural at leading others although he has his moments of humanity sprinkle in every now and then. He loves his team and would give himself in a moment, he believes it is his job as their leader to do right by them, and when he is betrayed by someone close to him, it strikes him worse than anything else, he can handle any other pain well except for the pain brought after betrayal, it is one of several things that will make this calm and lithe Jazz musician bare the full wrath of the underworld through his Mutant power of controlling and freezing wind.
Dark Zephir's powers are of a limited set, he is a mutant with the ability to control wind and to freeze it. He is also a talented archer which he used to study before he gained his mutant abilities at the age of 14,
Born to George and Alice Blue on October 15th,1986. He lived his childhood in the suburbs of Paragon living comfortably with his Father, an acclaimed Jazz musician who helped build a strong Jazz community in Paragon, but helped bring a love, appreciation, and awareness to what many consider the music of America. Things were good for Reeve until when he was 14, he attended a performance his father was doing at a fundraiser for sickly children who were diagnosed with HIV. when during the middle of his set, he was assassinated. it was one gunshot from the balcony, no one had seen it coming. All because the owner of the hospital wasn't paying his kickback money to the local drug cartel for their 'medical' drugs. it was during this time which Reeve, while mourning, awakened his latent mutant powers. He took the next year going to school, taking his archery club very seriously, and on weekends would often train and try to control his powers and in a few months, they were at his command.
A year later he was approached by a man who promised him revenge. And for years Reeve worked as an assassin/mercenary himself to find and put down his fathers killer only to find that his fathers killer, was working for the very same people he now was. After disposing of his fathers killer he slew everyone he could at the organization he was currently employed at. People who he trusted, thought of as friends,family, all of that was a lie, and he put it to rest, then left on the first train back to Paragon.
Still remorseful about those he had killed he went back to his mothers home at age 19. where he learned that months earlier she was diagnosed with a slow malignant cancer. So he took the time to reconnect with her and his lost fathers ideals for a better world, things Reeve had ignored, and even become the opposite of what his father preached through his music and charity. Reeve swore to take a new path now, having been taught as a child how to play, he quickly fell back into music. Months later when his mother died, Reeve met with a few of his fathers ex band members and decided to put out his fathers last unreleased album. After that Reeve has made his own mark in the music industry with the 'Reeve Blue Band' and him and a few close friends from high school band he reconnected with, make a decent living playing the nightlife and jazz clubs and all sorts of gigs that Paragon has to offer.
in Recent times he had met up with Spectrette who had scouted Reeve for a position on the team 'The Jadewire' while on this team he rose through the ranks quickly earning the trust and affection of the Jades as a leader and someone who cares for them. Currently Reeve sits at the top of the Jadewire leadership along with Hellion Hiryu, two men who at first glance seem to share nothing in common, but their differences only help each other preserve solid leadership to the wire.
Shadow Zephyr:
Reeve after a time in the wire took a two week Hiatus in which he went to a village in Africa that lost many of it's people due to a shootout between him and a Russian sniper years ago when he was an assassin. After helping them the best he could, took some time and did some soul searching putting away his bow, cutting his ties to his days as an assassin. Since then he's been going by the name Shadow Zephyr, As someone who came up from the shadows not for forgiveness, but because he simply wished a better life for himself and to someday make amends with all the lives he has taken. He does not forget the blood on his hands, but rather puts them to good use.
Longbow:
the longbow has always had problems with the Jadewire, they share a lot of jurisdiction and can easily be out matched by the wire's heavy hitters. This professional rivalry started long ago but ended in circumstances of being asked to hand over a friend, during the investigation Reeve was kidnapped and held by longbow in a secret facility in Warburg for two weeks until the Wire, (Assault lead by Hellion Hiryu) entered the base and quickly extracted him, though there was a heavy body count for Longbow, which lead to a World Tribunal for this and other sortie's the Wire has had with the Longbow. Cleared of charges against them, Reeve was thrust back into the goings on after little time healing. though the person behind this is another story in itself.
The Jadewire: Reeve's only super group affiliation since he has come back to Paragon, and he hasn't left. the wire is his home, his family, and his source of strength in life.
