Personality
Calculated, polite, and zealously dedicated to promoting and enforcing absolute order, King is the product of thorough brainwashing and the glorification of both the state and the Emperor. His exterior is a careful mask that generally displays little emotion save distaste or judgment; it is his belief that to allow himself to be ruled by emotion would be to allow himself to yield to the entropy that the empire must vigilantly combat. Despite the self-control he exercises, an unattractive combination of arrogance and self-righteousness lurk just beneath the surface.
Powers
Although he started as an athletic human King is steadily growing empowered as he taps into more and more of the biological imprint of Marcus Cole. He has the potential for vast superhuman strength that will enables him to dead lift up to 100 tons of mass and enhanced endurance; enabling him to fully exert himself for extended periods of time before feeling the effects of fatigue. His bones and muscle tissue are so dense he has become highly resistant to most forms of damage ranging from high impact forces to a variety of elemental subtypes, though his psyche is still extremely vulnerable to attack. His speed and ability to heal are also heightened to superhuman levels, allowing him to outrun speeding cars and recover from wounds significantly faster than the average person. Like Emperor Cole, Marcus will find he has the capability of willing himself through the air with speed and maneuverability comparable to high performance jet aircraft.
Costumes
As he is currently still quite vulnerable to attack he relies heavily upon a suit of modified Praetorian Police Strike Armor for protection.
Character History
King's fate was manipulated and sealed before he was even conceived and he is entirely pleased with the outcome. His parents, both loyalists and members of the Praetorian Police Force, dedicated the entirety of their being to the noble hero that safeguarded the realm and brought an unparalleled era of peace and prosperity to the world. When Anti-Matter began the search for potential candidates to include in the upcoming Project: Sacratus, the couple were reviewed and enrolled into the program; ordered to provide an embryo to the state for potential research into an upcoming super soldier program. There was never any concern for safety or a single second thought; so thorough was their faith and trust in the Emperor and his Praetors that selection brought only honor to the family name.
Of the numerous embryos chosen for the procedure, the introduction of the Emperor's genetic material to induce the potential for overwhelming power, King would be the only one that didn't reject the genetic graft and would be the only subject to survive birth. Dr. Raymond Keyes had succeeded in planting the potential within the child, but the significant investment of time and money along with the unsuccessful attempts to graft the material into the other candidates forced him to ultimately consider the Project a failure. The infant was released into his parents custody and immediately began indoctrination into both Praetorian society and a future in the Praetorian Police Department. The Praetor kept and continues to keep tabs on King's status to track and compile information for both posterity and security.
King acquired high marks in school as a child, absorbing the philosophical lessons and harsh physical training Sam and Maggie provided as well as impressing his tutors and advisors with his progress: both academically and professionally. While King continued to rise beyond the ranks of his peers, however, Sam began to raise suspicion among his own. Their were rumblings that Officer Lombardi had grown sympathetic to the growing resistance; rumblings that were later confirmed by Maggie. King graduated The Police Academy with honors; his dubious reward came in the form of Maggie and his instructors assigning him his first mission: to investigate his father's ties and bring him in for questioning.
What King found troubled him. His superiors were correct and his father, who learned of his son's mission, confronted King about the topic. In tears, Sam told King that Marcus was far more sinister than he appeared and asked King to join the resistance with him. His father's lies were disdainful and, when Sam was forced to confront Dominic physically, Cole himself came to his rescue. The potential Anti-Matter had planted 18 years ago finally manifested. The will of the Emperor allowed King to overwhelm his father and, eventually, tear the man's head off with his bare hands. He delivered the head and the files he obtained to the PPD and was further honored with a Medal for Meritorious Service. His record was flawless. His Horizon limitless.
In the next three years King worked harder, forsaking the Emperor's gift as long as he could to further develop his own skills, becoming a practiced inquisitor and warrior in the process until he finally received orders to Powers Division. When he reported for duty he found he had already been registered under the codename 'Sacratus' by an anonymous member of the Science Academies.
Trivia
-His black hair and Blue eyes are a result of Emperor Cole's genetic influence.
