History:

Formerly in the Army - served a tour of duty but was discouraged against any career in the military as he wasn't really smart enough to succeed.  Or at least that was what he thought he was hearing them say... He managed to have a lively tour at European bases before leaving, learning a little German and French.

Back in the states he had a little bit of a problem getting a job as he really didn't get much in the way of non-military training.  The only thing that he did get from them was some pilot training, but mainly that
was for some small army planes. Until recently he works part time as a mechanic and also has done some work as a security guard.  Neither is really satisfying to him.

He started having dreams where he would leave his body.  He likened it to stories his grandfather had told.  Only he found out that they weren't dreams.  He could watch all over town but couldn't interact.  He was not seen.  He remembered going into places he'd never been, like strip clubs.  It wasn't until he saw an incident on isolated road where a woman was left in the ditch, injured and unseen that he confirmed his suspicions that these were real events.  He managed to drive to the spot and find the woman, and rushed her to the hospital.  He was proclaimed a hero by the paper, and liked the feeling, even though he was a bit embarrassed by it.

He helped as much as he could from time to time, usually observing and making anonymous calls reporting trouble or crime. 

In early December 2000, he was ambushed at a trouble site he had observed.  In his physical form he was defenseless and easily fell before them.  He awoke strapped down in a lab.  He remembered the needles, the
smell of alcohol, the bubbling and beeping of various equipment hooked up to him.  And then the headaches as the experiment began.  The never-ending pain.

Rescued by well-wishers from Crossover he stayed with them. Now out of the haze of drugs and the pain, the mutation has finally completed.  His mind is now probably one of the most intelligent on the planet, with few if any
peers.  His memory is uncanny with all his travels recalled in full detail, and his mind is very quick.  He is able to absorb vast quantities of information and process them very quickly.  He has learned several languages fluently by going back and listening to what was being spoken when he heard them in his memory.
