Gaston Mercier

About

Gaston Mercier's shield glows with the last light of a dying star as he deflects a barrage of energy blasts. He's not just protecting the city; he's fighting to outrun the echoes of his own failures.

Backstory

The surgical scalpel trembled in Gaston's hand as he realized the experimental nanobots he'd designed to heal genetic disorders could also be weaponized for perfect human manipulation. As a brilliant biomedical engineer with a hidden past of corporate espionage, he understood the devastating potential of his creation—technology that could rewrite human potential or destroy entire genetic lineages. When his research partner discovered his true intentions and threatened to expose him, Gaston activated a prototype nanobot sequence that transformed his own body into a living, adaptive superhuman defense system. Now haunted by the ethical line he'd crossed and hunted by both government agencies and former colleagues, he uses his augmented abilities to prevent similar technological abuses, carrying the weight of his dangerous knowledge like an invisible armor.
