Story: Abandoned after birth by unknown parents, he was adopted by a couple that adopted meta-freakish kids, and has been a life-long resident of Crescent City They instilled strong morals and a sense of responsibility Crime touched his life in several ways, instilling in him an interest in law enforcement. However he discovered too much corruption in the Police Department and to some extent the court system. He operates as a private investigator. He excels at intimidating and embarrassing those criminals he catches, and uses his Radio Transmit ability to transmit Video evidence to a VCR that monitors an empty UHF channel. His tactic is known, and neighborhood watch groups and local TV stations monitor the frequencies for his occasional broadcast.

His given name is Jeffry VanSimons.

Redeye is a mutation; he has no real stomach or digestive track. His circulatory system is more electricity than anything else. His skin is photo-voltaic, absorbing light and other background energy. Because of this, he frequently goes with his arms bare, wearing sleeveless T-shirts or tank tops when possible, and prefers the light clothing. His armor is an expression of this, and causes his skin to develop a noticeable gloss when in effect.

Having turned in bad cops, he is treated by the police as a pariah similar to how they would treat an Internal Affairs officer. He in turn tends not to trust them as a group either. When possible he avoids them completely. Usually he will just radio them for a pick up at location, and be gone by the time they arrive.

He has two siblings, a younger brother (Michael) and sister (Pamela), both of which are mutated, but with far lesser powers and attributes. His foster parents , Jill and Martin VanSimons, are still living. He has become something of an advocate whenever a mutated individual is hassled, refused service, or otherwise limited strictly because of the nature of his or her mutation. He works with both sides on the issue, and tries to get them both to understand each other. Both sides usually see him as someone they can trust.

He will not kill the criminals he pursues, but nothing stops him from humiliating them. He frequently makes sure that whether they be mob bigwigs or just the neighborhood drug dealer, that they are well known and very humiliated when they are caught. Some of his videos of crooks in precarious and humiliating positions are much sought after by Crescent City residents, much to the embarrassment of the local underworld.

He lives out of his modest office, not needing a bed or food. His only real recreation is books, which he has in abundance, and is probably one of his bigger expenses. He is an avid visitor of the public library, where he gets most of his reading material. Non fiction or not, he reads a lot of material. He does keep a couple antenna-equipped VCRs ready to record blank UHF stations in his office, with a reserve power supply.

He has made several friends in the Chinatown area, and has in the last year learned to speak Mandarin, which has given him more friends down there, and also assisted on surveillance in the area.

A personal goal of his is to find his birth parents. However abandoned as he was, left on the doorstep of a local church during evening services, there is little to go on, and the trail is 20 years old. He however has not given up the search, and hopes that one or both of his parents are still around.
