RUMOUR
Name: Conor Hughes
Occupation: Parliamentary researcher/Agent
Height: 5'10
Weight: 180lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Brown
BACKGROUND:
Conor Hughes grew up in Belfast and like all children his age he was subjected to constant reminders of the troubles as he grew up. A member of a devout Catholic family, his parents trusted that the members of all factions would eventually show the wisdom to solve the province's problems before a meltdown occured. As a child these ideals were ingrained into Conor and his 8 siblings, but adolescence brought hatred and anger into his life after his best friend was savagely beaten into a coma by rival youths.
Conor was easily recruited into the youth wing of a paramilitary group, and as he grew into a man his smooth tongue, boyish blonde good looks and quiet passion made him a recruiter for the organisation. Although trained to do so Conor was never the man to plant the bomb, and although linked to terrorists he could never be convicted of any crime.
This state of affairs continued til Conor- in his early twenties- met Sinead Raymond, a friend of his parish priest. Romance blossomed and he was soon in love with the fiery girl, a love that turned to confusion when he discovered that Sinead was a protestant and that both her brothers were members of the British Armed Forces. After soul searching, Conor decided that his hatred of protestants was not the equal of his love for this woman and- after taking confession with the priest- he tried to withdraw his ties with the Republican paramilitaries.
The reaction of his one time friends was to abduct both Conor and Sinead and attempt to kill them both by tying them in a bomb rigged van which exploded in a built up area, at this moment Conor's latant mutant powers kicked in and he disappeared from his lover even as she died. His molecules somehow gained the ability to move out of shift with reality, and to reconstitute his body even after the most grievious of damage.
He travelled to the mainland and threw himself and his information on the mercy of MI5, who quickly established the myriad uses he presented and turned him over to the mysterious Ministry of Paranormals within the UK government. He has since been given a new identity, a job which keeps him close to the ear of the Minister, and a new role as a superhuman spy and hero for the UK government. His hatred of the group he once belonged to is eating away at him though, and one day he will destroy them even if he has to stoop lower than he ever has before.
