Affiliations
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) - Narciso's former sponsor which directed him and his team to work upon a military contract which eventually led to the creation of Aegis Mk. I Exo Skeleton Combat Armor along with an EOD AI which used the same technology that would later be called "Trinity Titan". Though through a contact within the government funded facility, Narciso still finds that he's able to work on a few projects of theirs from time to time, his payment often negotiated upon completion.
Organizations and Businesses
The Giordano Family - Narciso currently finds himself underneath the employment of the Giordano Family, having no real allegiance, yet. He's currently running numbers for the family and keeping the Giordano finances in check, reporting any discrepencies that may arise to the Don.
Time Line
January 14 2002 - 0830 :A confirmed sighting of Narciso Macabuhay is logged with Sleeper Longbow Agents in St. Martial near the Golden Giza. 1319: He's seen speaking to those who're connected with the Giordano Family, conversation was unable to be recorded due to static interference.
Personality
His intelligence and obtuse humor often left Narciso to fend for himself, he's often been told by others that his amiable personality coupled with his generally free spirited attitude could win him many a friendship. Though in this he's freely admitted to the fact that he enjoys his alone time and wouldn't like to consider the implications his introverted moments could cause to another. Though to the few that have truly befriended him and have seen past the fact that he'd rather spend his time in his lab then in a social situation , he's done his best to always be there when they needed him. It is after all the least he can do to those who truly accept him for him.
In Game Biography
Narciso was gifted with a near preternatural intelligence, yet unfortunately being intelligent doesn't always mean you make the smartest of choices. Through it all he eventually recieved his degree in Engineering with a minor in Physics from Stanford University, in turn he decided to follow upon the steps of a "Rogue Scholar" and eventually found his way to Paragon, where he learned about Gravitational Manipulation through the teachings of one of the many professors at the university.
Amused with this and finding that his interest were piqued, he set about on the business of creating a pair of gauntlets that would manifest and control such through a series of sub atomic manipulations upon the desired area. Unable to find a suitable testing area within the States or the Islands, Narciso has come to the Rogue Isles to test out his inventions, where he'll eventually wind up nobody knows, not even him. Though he hopes for the adventure of a lifetime and to perhaps get his hands upon some Sky Raider technology.
Abilities
Flight - Reversed engineered from technology that Narciso took from scavenged Jump Bots and Sky Skiffs that the Sky Raiders used, he was able to manufacture a pair of anti gravity boots that provide a decent yet constant burst which maintain his flight path and are able to sustain an indefinite hover with up to six hundred pounds underload.
Teleportation - Reversed engineered from the evasive system incorporated within the weapons system carried by the Sky Raider "Porters", Narciso is able to manipulate an neutral energy matrix which allows him to instantly teleport to any location within the systems range.
Gravity and Kinetic Manipulation - Originally created underneath the scientific guise of furthering his own curiosity, Narciso has created a pair of gauntlets which are able to manipulate the inherit properties of Gravity along with particle kinetic manipulation. The field system itself is integrated with offensive and defensive capabilities, which he is always improving.
Equipment
Aegis Mk. III Combat Exo-Armor - This combat suit is first and foremost a modified Aegis suit, derived from his research and creation upon the sentient AI known as Trinity Titan. An Aegis exo armor was originally intended to compliment its user by safely protecting those who wore the armor from the high risk dangers that E.O.D ( Explosive Ordance Dispoal ) units would face in ordanance heavy war zones or recovering war torn countries.
The Aegis armor protects its wearer by multiple layers of Titanium nitride which act as a the primary barrier metal for the steel reinforcements and ceramic plate absorbers contained within. Along with the armored fiber bundles and servos that replicate the wearer's movements, a supportive function due to the general weight of the Aegis armor. Life support systems along with duplicate failsafe oxygen rebreathers are installed within the enviromentally sealed Aegis armor. The helm contains five modified visual settings that are able to coincide with the targeting matrix system.
Optic settings: Ultraviolet, Thermal Imaging, Low Light Amplification, Infrared and Air Density Pressure.
Current combat doctrine has forced Narciso to impliment experimental technology reversed engineered from Sky Raider and Arachnos technology. Mainly along the lines of energy augmentation used extensively for offensive abilities.
Hecatonchires Mk. II Underarmor - An elastic poly carbon based under armor which protects the wearer within the Aegis armor from low to subsonic impact trauma along with acidic and incendiary harm, an AI system is augmented within the armor that acts as a split second information processor as its reads feedback from the Aegis armor and the wearer with no additional strain placed upon the user. The main function for the Hecatonchires Underarmor is to auto engage the homing beacon or emergency teleporter in case the wearer is incapacitated.
Ares Mk. III Gravity Gauntlets - Narciso was able to access government research upon the Gravity Control Propulsion Initiative which was a study funded by the United States government that in turn would later ban the creation of all Anti Gravity devices from 1955 to 1973 by those within the country unless they recieved approval. Though by 1973 a wetwork agency of unknown origin would later prove that such claims of Anti Gravity creation were nothing but the pipe dreams of mad scientists and Science Fiction hopefuls. Using modern technology along with his understanding of Electrohydrodynamics, Narciso was able to adapt Gravitoelectric couplings into his gauntlets to control and guide particles that have the potential for an electric particle charge.
Artemis Mk. II Satelite - An experimental Satelite that Narciso fitted with a teleportation targeting matrix when it was initially created within the facility of LLNL, it's true potential has yet to be realized as Narciso is still working upon its user interface.
Citizens of the Isles and Paragon
Friends
Leda Trachis - A woman who oddly enough tolerates Narciso's dry and often sardonic sense of humor and oft eccentric behavior. Leda perpetuates a down to Earth sensibility with a compassionate level headed way of viewing life upon the Rogue Isles, though she has her streaks with it comes to teasing Narciso yet it could be pointed out he often has it coming. Their relationship has grown since that fateful night inwhich he downed an entire bottle of Stoli vodka and began to yell out quotes from Silence of the Lambs, most notible would be those said by Hannibal Lecter. Their relationship has since ended.
The Thorn Bandit - Soldier - An alright guy, though often tempts Narciso with alcohol just so he can see what he'd do.
Chill Yeti - Capo - Another guy whose tempted Narciso with alcohol. He's alright guy and Narciso doubts he's as bad as the others say he is.
Annoyances
Sky Raiders - Long before Narciso knew of the blood thirsty and calculating nature of the Sky Raiders, he had a romanticized view of them. Thinking of them as cavalier sky troopers that fought for the betterment of humanity. This in turn was mainly reinforced by the fact that a Sky Raider off shore station often sent troops to patrol the skies of Luzon and often had memoriable experiances as he chatted with them and was fascinated by their gear when he was younger. He doesn't like the fact that his current views have changed, but he's willing to believe that there are still some good people left in the Sky Raider Corps.
Enemies
Marcones - Thugs, nothing but barely organized animals led by a brutish and short sighted leader.

Stories
"It does whats its told!" A.K.A How I met a woman who puts up with my crap - An empty bottle of Stoli, a beautiful woman, Pocket D and a snowballs chance in hell. Apparently Narciso's luck changed that night after the guys and gals of the Giordano family had a night out on the town at the expense of Arachnos Loyalists in Grandville. Leda Trachis, tall, beautiful and clearly a woman who can hold her own found some amusement with Narciso while he spat out quotes from Silence of the Lambs, threw empty bottles at nearby heroes and threatened to beat up the bartender who was dancing horribly. Those that knew Narciso clearly knew that he's a light weight when it came to the consumption of alcohol and found some amusement in the fact he was making an ass out of himself, he doesn't remember the rest of that night but he remarkably left a favorable impression upon her. To this day he still doesn't know what she sees in him.
"One day, it'll be the end"
Random Facts
Narciso's theme songs would have to be:
Lamb - B. Line (Andy Votel Mix)
Vater Unser - E Nomine
AC/DC - Highway to Hell

30 Seconds to Mars - Echelon
Zeromancer - Hollywood
Prodigy - Rize Up

- One of Narciso's passions would be Karaoke, he's yet to find a decent Karaoke bar in the Isles so he's been unable to practice what he considers an "art form". He often resorts to singing in his flat along with the Karaoke machine he bought on his last trip to Las Vegas.
- One of Narciso's newer passions and an odd turn about would be his obession with motorcycles. Considering his passive and safety oriented nature, its peculiar that he'd be drawn to a vehicle that demands an aggressive nature to control coupled with a devil may care attitude. His current motorcycle would be a Ducati Monster 750 Dark I.E with Nemesis ECU, dual Carbon Fiber Termignoni hi-mounts, Rizoma Clip ons, CRG LS mirrors, Werkes Competition Fender Elimination and Dark Cowl.
