History

Kieron Masterson was a down-on-his-luck blind veteran who lost his arm in the Vietnam War, and took to begging in Seattle for lack of any better means of employment. He was imbued with special powers when his metagene was activated by an alien Parasite known as Lissik attempting to feed on his spinal fluids.

Years later, he was killed by Prometheus while attempting to stop a bank robbery.
