I-trick
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Who once was is now lost, burned away in the annals of time? For what is time, to the incarnate spirits of wander lust?
Of now and present proverbs: I-trick
Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent.
William Shakespeare
Again my eye opens,
in mute witness of the dawn,
alive but for the whim of fate
like jetsam on the red sea of man.
Of now and present proverbs: I-trick
Praetorian File
February 23, 2011 - A missing person’s case was filed in Nova Praetoria. Matthew Davidson, college student, son and upstanding citizen of Praetoria disappeared a week prior to the filed report. Long-time-friend and college peer, Kevin Kirkwood, contacted the family who in turn contacted the PPD. Last known whereabouts his dorm room.
March 24th, 2011 - The case was shelved, with no leads, and other more urgent investigations attend to M. Davidson was labelled presumed dead, or possibly turned insurgent.
May 15th, 2011 - The case was reopened as M. Davidson was found wandering the streets, eyes ablaze nude, hairless and with a third eye. Although notified of the situation, his family has yet to see Matt, who was sequestered from the public. Case was transferred to the Praetorian Power Division for further investigation.
Follow up: Although DNA testing has proven that I-trick is indeed Matthew Davidson, his one time family has been unreceptive of their son and his new powers. For the record, Judy Davidson, went on file saying that this was not her son, and has been continues to demand another missing persons case. It is apparent that the young Mr. Davidson has untapped significant magical powers. Although distant, the new resource has been pliant with the wishes of the Praetorian Power Division and has quickly risen through the ranks of the PPD.
May 29th, 2011 – A message from Emperor Cole’s office has flagged Matthew Davidson’s file for monitoring as an agent sent afield to Primal Earth. Early reports from Primal informants indicate that Davidson may be suing the Primal’s for Peace.
Orders are to let this stand.
June 3rd, 2011 - Apparently a small anonymous tombstone was erected for Matthew Davidson on the fringe of the Praetorian Cemtery, paid for by an unknown source. The PPD believes this is the work of Judy Davidson, who has been seeking grass roots assistance in the search of her son. Both Judy and her husband Charles have been placed on possible terrorist watch lists for their continued counterproductive behaviour.
The inscription on the tombstone reads:
In memory of the countless lost.
Paragon File
Upon arrival from the altnerate Praetorian dimension, I-trick reportedly assisted S.A.M. agents in the resolution of several key doppelganger attacks (presumed Nemesis automatons), and notable threats to the city. Upon clearing his name, I-trick has now been registered as a hero under the Paragon Authority.
Officials, agents, and citizens alike (who have had the fortune of his brief interactions) have commented on his markedly sober and unemotional demeanour. Despite this however, several dozen high-profile-situations have been either diffused or resolved by the new hero.
A classified report was filed by I-trick about the war situation in Praetoria upon the day of his registration.
To date, I-trick has declined the city’s secret identity program, and refuses to give any other name than his heroic alias.
