Biography
Origin
Sean Cassidy
Around 20 years ago, he was on the trial of a notorious and mysterious serial killer that had been killing innocent people. He was joined on the case with a French Inspector named Magrite Devereaux with the two pursing the target as Cassidy went rogue in order to bring the culprit to justice. He discovered the killer to be an escaped Russian man by the name of Arkady whose government had kept his existence a secret as they intended to shape him into being a Mutant assassin. Arkady had forced an encounter with Agent Cassidy in the hope of being killed but Sean refused to be his executioner. This led to the Russian using his Death Spore virus to killer Inspector Devereaux with Cassidy failing to save her. He then proceeded with arresting Arkady with the intention that the villain be sent to jail but unknown to him the man was taken in by a special interests group that sought to change him into a living weapon for the Soviets during the Cold War.
