Biography
Alex Blyntze is a former cop who worked for the Paragon Police Department for many years. His successful career in law enforcement came to a seemingly abrupt halt when, during a high-profile drug raid, he was pushed from a warehouse roof and fell to the ground below. The accident didn't paralyze him as the medics suggested it would, but the trauma that he endured afterwards made him question his own abilities.
It was several months after his leaving that Alex began work on a powered suit with materials supplied by a connection of his who worked at a scrapyard. Using the powered suit, he became Arctracer and worked behind the scenes as an unregistered hero, usually foiling crimes before the PPD could even get to them. Eventually, he was spotted by his most trusted friend on the force, Lian. Though his former partner could not convince him to return to regular work, Alex's resolve to help others as a costumed hero grew stronger: as Arctracer the hero, he claimed, he could protect others where he could not defend himself. He still deals with bouts of depression from the fateful accident, but has retained the strong, leader-like qualities that served him well as a police officer.
Over time, the suit began to develop strange properties and somehow accelerated Alex's bio-electricity output such that he could emit it occaisionally. The excess discharge became so great that heavy modifications were made to the Arctracer suit to allow for a more controlled use. The origin of the materials used were discovered to be alien, but it remains to be seen where it actually came from. The composition of the metals was confirmed to trigger Alex's mutation and since then his powers have grown to include increased reaction time and powerful movement capabilities.
He would go on to be discovered by Ms. Liberty and, taking the opportunity to be formally registered as a hero in Paragon City, he reinvented his attitude toward life, finally banishing his emotional demons. He how aims to be an upstanding citizen with the aim of bettering the quality of life for all in the city, and finally created the Triumph Trisortion to search for others who shared in his vision.
Currently, the beginnings of a mystical bond with an unknown entity has begun to manifest in Arctracer. It is unknown whether this will yeild new powers of any kind.
