INGAME DESCRIPTION

In a darkened, smoke filled room, three figures in shadow watch a monitor.

"Bonjour, I am Chevalier. Yes, I am better than you but it is not your fault that I am. I am better not just for my skill with a blade, my impeccable sense of style, my herculean physique or even the fact that I am French. I am better than you, because I am humble.

With a push of a button, the monitor goes dark.

A folder is opened and one of the figures reads from it's contents. "This is what we can verify: He says he was born in Orleans, France. He does not register on any scanning device, that we possess, as a meta-human of any kind. He has no cybernetics that can be detected. To all appearances, he is a normal unpowered human. He works at the East Briar Institute as a teacher and runs their dining facility. He teaches Home Economics and an 'advanced' fencing class, whatever that means. He likes to use swords, with a preference for the rapier. He has been seen using firearms, usually ones he's picked up from those he fights. As far as we can determine, his suits are actually custom body armor. They are made from a resistant fabric of some kind that seems to provide protection from kinetic and energy weaponry."

The figure pauses for a moment then continues. "Sir, he has been seen using some form of powered armour when he fights beings of a certain power level, Ripper is one such example. It does not appear to possess any weapons systems aside from reinforced swords with which he fights with. However, just because he has not shown any, does not mean they do not exist. He also makes use of drones. They are highly advanced systems that appear to be based on a Professor OZ prototype that he stopped working on when the Thunder Cat robot came online. Chevalier primarily uses them for reconnaissance, although they are usually armed with less than lethal ordnance. Generally paint balls but sometimes he fills them with a fast acting tranquilizer round."

The other figure then speaks, "Sir, our deep cover operative at East Briar has given us an interesting picture of the man as well. He appears fluent in not just French and English but German, Latin, Portugese, Russian, Mandarin and what was tentatively identified as Basque. He may know more. Chevalier, or "Chev" as his friends seem to call him, acts as moral support to the clones of Ripper that reside there. That may be an avenue to exploit. A word of caution, in that he is extremely protective of them. One of our operatives approached him in a bar and attempted to recruit him. She made veiled threats towards the clones and he calmly broke two bottles of alcohol over her head, then set her on fire.

"Our experts have studied Chevalier's fighting styles. For unarmed combat, he uses an amalgamation of Savate, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Kali and Hap Ki Do. It was described as 'Inelegant, but brutally efficient.' He uses French and Hungarian fencing styles primarily but has shown skill with Japanese and Chinese styles. He utilizes a combination of dual and single blade attacks when fighting. It is unclear where he received his training. His combat skills have no obvious weaknesses."

"The man himself however, does."

"Well, sir, he does seem to care for the students at the Institute and has taken the elf, Liira, as an apprentice. This may be an avenue to explore if we wish to attempt to obtain leverage over him. I must mention again, that Chevalier will most likely react violently to this. From what we have witnessed and what our agents who have survived contact with him have verified, he will react with deadly force without any obvious buildup. He will at times give a warning, but if it is not heeded, he doesn't hesitate to kill. He's very good at it."

The other agent then speaks. "The man is a contradiction. He will act the fool but is quite intelligent. He has at one time worked for several French Intelligence services, as well as UNTIL and has some contacts in PRIMUS. However, where he actually received his training is unknown. No one I have talked to knows. His physical capabilities are unusual as well. He matches or surpasses Olympic level athletes in weightlifting, running both long distance and sprints, jumping, swimming, gymnastics and obviously fencing. Which is impossible for any normal human. The human body can't be that good at that many different things at the same time. Yet he is. I'll have our operative attempt to acquire a DNA sample from Chevalier but the man has shown to be very careful about leaving such things behind. Where ever he learned his tradecraft, they taught him well."
