Background
Theo Alteridem and his wife, Keiko, turned up in Paragon City in 1984, fleeing what later became known as Praetorian Earth. The pair quickly established themselves as heroes, adopted an abandoned infant, and set about fighting villains, making enemies, and all the usual hero activities. They were presumably engaged in activities of another sort, as evidenced by their twin daughters, Megan and Cyril.
The pair started the Alteridem Foundation in 1999, with the stated goal of bringing promising young meta-humans into the heroic fold. During this time, Theo began investing heavily in the stock markets, eventually accumulating a large degree of personal wealth, much of which is poured into the Foundation.
Theo and Keiko tend to keep quiet about their past, and, being Praetorians, other sources are not readily available. They seem to have incurred the undying hatred of a villain called Rosa Kreuz at some point, however.
Current Status
Although he's more than 50 years old, Theo Alteridem looks and acts half his age, energetically seeking out villains to fight and managing the many eccentric personalities in the Alteridem Foundation. He has made connections with a number of people and groups within Paragon City, and leverages these to get recruits for the Foundation. Theo doesn't get to fight villains directly as much as he used to, due to the need to manage the Foundation, but he still finds time to brawl on occasion.
Personality
Theo hardly looks the part of the prestigious upper-class man or leader of a force of heroes. He lacks the class of most wealthy market tycoons, and the inspiring presence of those who lead heroes. Theo has mastered the fine art of leadership by example, and tends to encourage Foundation members to take extreme measures in fighting injustice, a tendancy which comes from spending much of his life in Praetoria. Theo is also a proponent of free thought, and argues vehemently against government regulation in almost every field which the government regulates, having grown up in essentially the worst-case scenario for mindless obedience and government control.
His habit of turning up at high-society cocktail parties with unkempt hair and three-day stubble makes Theo rather unpopular with the rest of Paragon's weathly upper class, which many suspect is actually intentional on Theo's part. Theo does have a fair bit of money stashed away, however, and is generous in donating it to what he considers good causes, so he keeps finding his way into such gatherings despite being generally considered an uncouth louse.
Despite his appearance, Theo Alteridem is actually extremely fastidious, placing a high value on personal hygiene. He also never drinks or smokes, both due to his religous beliefs and a genuine fear that doing so would negatively impact his physical health. Religion plays a significant role in Theo's lifestyle, a fact that some people will try (unsuccessfully) using to manipulate his actions.
Theo is very deeply in love with Keiko Alteridem. Which works out well, what with them being married. Everything about her seems to fascinate him, and he is constantly in awe of her magical abilities, which he says are far beyond his comprehension. On account of this, Theo tends to keep Keiko near him as much as possible, and the two are rarely seen apart. In addition, Theo is very proud of his three children, Beckett, Megan, and Cyril, and is very happy with their continued passion for heroism.
