Deathrow

A virtual unknown before the fall of the Russian Mafia, Deathrow makes a point to say little about himself or make his presence known. Believed to be at the very least a former assassin for the Russian government, he is a violent vigilante known for executing criminals. He is wanted for no less than 86 murders in the United States alone.

His powers defy normal classification, as Dr. Quaid has never had a chance to properly observe him in depth. According expert eximitaxonomists, he has some strange amalgam of powers that include photokinesis, minor quantumkinesis, or possibly some form exotic matter control.

Many attribute the near eradication of white slavery to him, though no evidence for this exists, so it is likely an urban legend. His first major public crime fighting activity occured in Amber City, where OASA had recently formed and quelled the riots from the blackout and Heat was welcoming any willing super humans to help bring order to the reestablished city.

After a few uneventful patrols, Heat and Deathrow encountered a hostage situation with a man claiming to be a powerful vigorkinetic. Deathrow imediately openned fire with a semi-automatic rifle, killing the assailant and two of the hostages due to spray and ricochet. Heat immediately attempted to subdue Deathrow, but he escaped into the shadows. He since fled to Riley, where many of his confirmed kills seemed to be tied with conflicts involving local super heroes, most notably Fluke.

The Amber City Squad found Deathrow stripped down and trapped by the KGB in the Lubyanka building in Moscow. The shadow crystal, apparently the source of his powers, was separated from him. He has since joined the Amber City Squad.
