Background: How a file from the Federal Bureau of Investigation made it to this collection is currently being investigated in Washington D.C. This report is on the mysterious assassin known only as Blade.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal ID#: 96835--UY64756--6787

Subject of Investigation: Blade

Reporting Officer: Special Agent Clyde Simmons

It is not known where Blade was originally born, but it has been speculated he is either German or Austrian. What is know about Blade mainly concerns his attitudes and targets. It is known Blade is an assassin, a man hired to kill others for monetary gain. Blade is credited with at least five kills, and an untold number of speculated targets. Blade hires himself out only to certain groups, and these contacts have given a rough profile of Blade's personality and background. What Blade is, is a racist.

Blade, most likely, came from a home which had its roots in the National Socialist German Workers Party, more commonly known as the Nazi Party of Germany. He probably grew up believing in the same hatred, the same bigotry pronounced by Adolph Hitler before and during World War II. What is known for fact is Blade's targets have all been either black or Jewish civil leaders. It is believed Blade is a member of a neo--Nazi cell somewhere in the United States who hires himself out for assassinations against the 'lessers' of society.

Blade's preferred method of killing is that of his namesake. Blade, somewhat mysteriously, appears in front of his chosen victim and throws two knives at the target. The first knife incapacitates, the second kills, the victim. After ten minutes, the thrown blades disintegrate into nothingness, so no fingerprints or evidence can be found at the scene by any arriving law enforcement officers. Autopsies performed on Blade's victims have found trace amounts of a deadly neurotoxin within the bloodstream, but why the toxin does not affect Blade is unknown.

Blade has been seen headed for Hudson City, but where he may end up is unknown, as is his chosen target or targets. Rest assured, however, they will fit his previous assassination patterns.

Personality: Assumptions are Blade is motivated more along the lines of racism than of that of money. It is possible his parents instilled this belief within him. It is known he hangs around different neo--Nazi organizations and other racial supremacists. Whether he was wronged by one of the 'inferior' races is unknown, but it is known he hates them deeply. He has not appeared enough times to garner any more information.

Quote: "Now, you shall die by the blade."

Powers/Tactics: Blade's standard tactic is to suddenly appear in front of his chosen target. After saying his quote mentioned above, Blade will let loose with two throwing knives. The first knife is used to incapacitate his opponent, while the second knife finishes the job. Blade then disappears in some manner. Within 15 minutes, his knives he used in the assassination will disintegrate into nothingness, leaving no fingerprints or other distinguishing characteristics. Tactics used against super powered opposition is unknown, however he has been known to ignore completely a submachine gun fired at a good distance from him.

Appearance: Blade is a rather short man, possibly 5'6" or so in height. He has a medium build, with blonde hair tied in a ponytail, and with blue eyes. He normally, however, is wearing specialized sunglasses, so his eyes cannot be seen. Blade wears a thick, leather jacket which has been specially reinforced with metal plating. His pants, also black leather, are reinforced in the same way. He carries no weapons normally, as he is able to create his poisoned knives out of thin air.

Master of Crime's Notes: Find more information on this man. He has killed at least six known minority civic leaders in cities I have operations within. His style is the same, but his targets have varied. His latest kill, from what I have garnered, was against a civil rights preacher in a black neighborhood. He appeared in front of him and killed him, ignoring a vigilante or two who appeared and attempted to stop him. He then disappeared from their sight. I find this quite interesting.

Campaign Functions: Blade is a mysterious assassin, who works best when faced against only one opponent. While the player is watching some sort of protest march or speech, Blade should appear and kill someone involved in the protest, then disappear before the player can really react. This should happen a couple of times, until the player is able to confront him one on one. Blade would make a great singleton enemy to a hero as well. Blade has shown himself not able to handle multiple opponents, preferring to flee than take on more than one person.

Champions Conversion: Blade can transfer almost directly into a regular Champions campaign. He only needs around 10 more points of PD and ED, along with a movement power. Teleportation is recommended, with a high multiple, so Blade can escape the scene while invisible, but not very effective in a combat situation.
