Marco Cain
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Physical Description and Personality
Strong and athletic, Marco has the build one would expect from an active military officer. Carrying himself with trained precision Marco would seem as at home in the middle of a warzone as he would standing in front of you. A neatly trimmed Goatee accentuates what is typically a goofy grin under melancholic eyes. When in combat he can be found wearing an assortment of combat fatigues, typically with desert or urban camo patterns. When out of combat he can usually be found wearing anything from a solid white suit to motorcycle leathers and chains.
Background
Most kids dream of fighting aliens, evildoers, criminals, and monsters; and this one was no different. Time in the sun, math homework, cowboys and indians, a typical childhood marred by a singular event. The first Rikti war. They say DC was hit particularly hard as the interdimensional aliens tried to wipe every vestige of governance from our world.
The survivors of the DC attack would tell you that they survived by the valiant efforts of the Heros that protected them and died protecting them, but the boy saw something different in the portal scarred skies over what was once his quiet subarban home. In the burning skies he saw the single largest human military air action in history, as hundreds of United States Air Force fighters fought off the rikti air invasion and took back the choked skies over the capitol.
As the boy stared eyes transfixed towards the cracked heavens the meteoric fall of human and alien craft began to take its toll. Along side the titannic impacts of dead metal shattering the air around him the alien dropships had begun to digorge their cargo.

Abilities
Given his extensive military training Marco has considerable skills in most forms of modern combat. Of particular note is his skill in bringing down super powered foes using an array of traditional and prototype devices and some good old fashioned bullets. By utilising his skills in stealth infiltration and the careful employment of high explosives and armor piercing rounds he has even proven capable of bringing down foes of considerable power. In addition to his extensive experience and training Marco has the semi latent ability to interperet the function of machines and electronics at a glance, allowing him to effectively utilise most weapons and devices even untrained.
