The Origin's

Originally a Viking raider felled in battle against the picts in scotland somewhere during the 7th century. Born to into a weel standing middle class familey that owned lands and had servants tending the crops and livestock, life was good, the family rich from trade and spoils of war, well respected as strict, hard but fair to those who earned it. While the details of his childhood are at best sketchy these are the moments he remembers still. The warmth of a mothers embrace he thought she could shield him from the cold and the bitterness of the world...He was wrong. The pride in a fathers eyes he though could lift him to heights even the gods could not imagine...He was wrong in a way, while not great he was strong, fierce, independant and skilled in the art of war already by the age of his 16th summer. The chill of the sea spray as it washes against his face, off they went..of to Britain. Virgin soil ripe for the plunder, the fat christians and their weak god would not stand in the way of the Fury of the north.

Their gold would be ours, their women would be ours, their men would fall at the clash of our steel and their children would weep alone on the soil bearing their parents blood...And when we are finally done...The battle of battles will come and Odin will judge us.

The day finally came 500 of us cornered with the sea at our backs, our long boats set aflame by the enemy, They drew their steel and breathed in the moist, cold air of the british winter morning. A horn blows, a Jarl barks an order, the unsheating of steel, the sound of your own heart pumping and then you hear it..the thundering of feet charging towards you. the very ground shaking the air whizzling with arrows, you look at your sides and see your shield brothers...and you know...this is it..They charged forwards, the clash of steel was all you could hear, the smell of blood and sweat all your nose would pick up and the feeling off?...off the blade through my ...chest?....As the world darkened the light of a tall, muscular, beautiful woman with Long blond hair and shining blue eyes bends down over me, picks me up as if i were nothing and then...nothing...everything fades, the pain the smells, the noise even the wind....The battle of battles was over for me.

The 100 Year War

The 100 year war was a joke plain and simple. While the british made a mockery of the french Kastor worked as a mercenary behind the scenes, often for both sides doing jobs like eliminating high ranking officials while a battle raged, sabotage on key enemy strongholds, or routing reinforcements before they arrive.

Discretion was however never an option, given his abnormal seize and his super human strength and toughness so everyone knew who he was and what he was doing yet no one seemed to be able to do anything about it at that time.

During the Time of Jean D'arc the Maid of Orlean Kastor became notorious for actions against the french, Rumors circulate of him Single handedly Butchering a Regiment of heavy knights with nothing but a Battleaxe and the Cloths on his back these rumors ofcourse were often very exaggerated. The Truth was that he did not do it single handedly but rather with the aid of the Burgundians and the British terrifying the french troops and earning him the nick name of Le Fantome De Normandie ( The Ghost of Normandy ).

Kastor however turned on the British at the Battle of Paris and left France following the British attempt to undercut and backstab him while he were negotiating the price of his services.

He disappeared after that and were first spotted again many years later.

World War 1

The World War 1 Era was chaotic for Kastor to say the least, the prosecution of meta humans were at an all time high back in Denmark at that time, so it forced kastor to seek refuge in neighboring countries, first among these were Germany who at that time were more open towards meta humans, but it was also due to the fact that it was teetering on the brink of war with France and Britain. And desperate to gain an edge, thus Kastor was recruited and rose to the rank of captain relativly quickly using his abilities and Ageless experience to lead his men to seemingly impossible victories against the french and british again and again, but his was but a few battles in a much much greater war and despite his efforts germany and austria lost the war in the end, After this he became more or less alcoholic, his defeat tearing at his mind for many years.

He became hateful towards the allied nations, using any and every oppertunity he could find to get back at them, he followed Hitlers rise to power and knew this was his chance, he immediatly showed his support to the new government, not because he was a Nazi but because it was his ticket for revenge.

World War 2

The years spent training with the Wehrmacht combined with his ageless experience made Kastor into one of the Third Reichs most dangerous people, He retained his rank of Hauptmann(Captain) and was given command of a specialized battalion dedicated to the capture, study and use of supernatural, arcane and meta assets wherever and whenever it was possible.

Nicknamed the Horrors by the allies for the amount of brutality and lack of mercy they showed in battle, and the name carried a fear with it the rest of the war, in some cases enemies would rather abandon their positions then face the Horrors in battle.

The sheer amount of enemy and collatteral damage whenever the Horrors were involved were utterly astounding and even German high command eventually became hesitant to field the Horror battalion despite their effectivnesss, instead they were relocated to eastern front where the untold atrocities commited against the Russian people was carried out by the hands of the Horrors. Scattered Survivors woudl tell of death appearing from nowhere to systematiclly begin to butcher people left and right and drag some off to await some aweful fate...and they were not that far off. The mission objectives were to capture people with suspected Meta human qualities for experimentation.

As the War dragged on the Horrors were pulled back to regular frontline duty and ordered to hold a small town near Kursk at all costs. and just as command had predicted the Russians launched an all out assault all across the front, soon the town became one big entrechment, gunfire zizzling everywhere men falling left and right. It was on that day that the Horrors made their last stand, makeing the Soviets pay dearly for every inch they gained into the town, fighting the russian advance to a standstill in the center of town perfectly dividing it by 200 yards of No mans land. The final outcome of that battle ended in the horrors defeat but it was at the hands of the Angels summoned by a russian mage whos name have long since been forgotten. The Angels swept down from the sky killing scores of horrors before they knew what was happening half of the Horrors were dead and the other half in quick retreat.

It all culminated on a broken Plaza that day, Kastor had singled out the Angels leader and challenged her to Single Combat, admidst the Chaos and gunfire the two towering warriors clashed, Sword against sword, and for what seemed like hours the duel continued, as the final cut was given Kastor stood victorious over the broken form of the Angel.the fight had ended but the russians would rather see the town in ruins then let the Horrors escape, An artillerty barrage the likes of which most of the troops had never seen shattered the town and killing everything in it...The Great war Ended with Germany's Surrender a year later, but the comeplete Details of what happened that day remains a mystery to everyone but those who were there.

Modern Times

By the Beginning of the 21st century Kastor had been everything from Hero to Villain and everywhere inbetween, he's used to the Wealth he stole from Hitler to fund and build his Corporate Empire, it also marks the new era for him, having lived as long as he and having seen and participated in many of the most grusome things Humanity is capapble off, Sometimes enjoying it other times hating it but ultimatly learned to to live with it. He now enjoys an existence of Luxury reaping the benefits of his hard labour to bring his Corporate empire to where it is today.

In his Spare time he's founded the URBANWEAR fashion brand thats quickly risen to a prominent status in Millenium City which have recived the new fashion company with open arms, the magazine covers sport regular models aswell as Super Models and upcoming is also Villain models and much much more. URBANWEAR however is just a pet project for Kastor given that he devotes most of his time to TGE and personally oversees many of its bigger projects. All of this however would not be possible without the assistance of the Cognitive Adaptive Biosynthetic Artificial Lifeform (C.A.B.A.L), the Quantum AI which kastor personally spent millions of Euro's on and Decades of construction and fine tuning resulting in a Self aware machine can run a worldwide company, Provide Combat support for all the security forces and much much more at the same time, which is why Mechanon also is so interested in assimilating CABAL.

In recent times Kastor adopted the alias of Ironbreaker which marks his reentry into the heroic community. With his ANVIL suit, advanced technology, fighting prowess, and Super strength he brings the fight to the bad guys.

Retirement

Having been away from The United States for awhile Kastor had time to reflect on his past actions and concluded that his time as an Active Hero was at an End. Likewise was his Direct management of TGE from which he retired as CEO. he still owns the Company but have left the Mantle of Chairman Executive Officer to a new generation.

He now Focuses on URBANWEAR and his models, In his sparetime he still Builds and Develops Marvels of Engineering ranging from Deadly weapons to Vehicles to Cyberntics and Powerplants.

Trans Global Enterprises

Originally a small company called Dynacore who made its livig by doing Research and Development of Weapons and Armor for NATO during the Cold war, Kastor founded the company and funded it by using the wealth he stole from Hitler's bunkers during the Second world war. Dynacore's radical changes to weapons theory coupled with lost research data from the Third Reich gave the company an advantage over its competitors and was usually fingered out for the biggest contracts. By the End of the Cold war Dynacore was represented in all NATO countries and almost 25% of all NATO equipment supplied to soldiers worldwide came from Dynacore.

However shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall the company was put in the searchlight of the tabloid newspapers around the world suspecting Dynacore of illegal research and framed for supplying both the West and the east during the cold war, this was however not proven but the scandals completely ruined Dynacores reputation as an Arms supplier.

In an attempt to save his Company Kastor formally asked the board of directors to resign from their positions and the company's name was changed to Trans-Global Enterprises to signify the change of course that the Company would be taking. These changes seem to have the wanted effect and TGE once more began getting appointed Military Contracts.

However this was not all, TGE branched out and began spending tens of millions worth in Cybernetics research and manufacture aiming to dominate the market of high grade cybernetics, and so far they have. What TGE makes is the best money can buy in bulk but its also the most expensive.

Today TGE is a well know company worldwide that delivers ultra high performance products to Civilian and military contractors alike. UNTIL and PRIMUS have in the more recent years signed Munitions, R&D and Supply on demand Contracts with TGE, effectivly making TGE one of the major arms companies that PRIMUS and UNTIL employs.

Project Magister

Project Magister is TGE's official name for a 12 year long research program that focuses on the effective nullification of magic and magical energies in a portable form, another long term goal is to make UNTIL and PRIMUS less dependant on META human assistance when dealing with threats of Magical nature.

While the Project is still in its infant stages it have recieved Billion Dollar investments from UNTIL and PRIMUS making sure that the budget is no limitation to the workings in this field, if it proves to be a success it could dramatically shift the base of power in the world and bring the world of science a much needed trumph card over the world of Magic.

Only Time will tell if this project will see its full potential unfolded, for there are without a doubt forces in teh world that will do everything in their power to see it fail.

EPSILON TECHNOLOGY

Epsilon technology is the Founding Principles of all of Kastors equipment and the products that his company TGE produces their Merchandise from. While Not On Par with VIPERS Omicron Technology it is still one of the closest Competitors to it.

EPSILON Technology is seen as the beginninng of a New Era of Scientific Progress founded on the principles stating if Magic can so can Technology. and so far Its lived up to its claim. Power plants with incorporated Epsilon Technology Provides fifteen times more power per Cubic foot of Fuel it is fed then its closest Competitor. Weapons utilizing Epsilon Technology are Lighter, Stronger, More Accurate and Packs more Firepower then anything else to date. The Fields of Which Epsilon Technology is getting introduced into is almost innummerable, and perhaps Epsilon Technology is the seeds of the next Golden age for Mankind.

Kastor for one is going to Fight for that cause.

The Einherjar and the Prophecy

The Einherjar are a collection of mortals from all races Human or otherwise, who have been uplifted by Odin for falling bravly in combat against a superior opponent, they are brought back to life by the Valkyries whom carry them from the field of battle to Valhalla where they fight and feast in preparation for Ragnarok. The end of the world where Valhalla will be destroyed and the World Tree consumed in the fires of war, and from the ashes of the old world a new shall be born.

However what the Legends do not tell is that the Einherjar(Lone Fighters) have a much more complicated purpose, once every century their bodies and minds change compelling them to join either the side of good or evil, the purpose of these acts are only known to a selec few mortals, the Einherjar themselves and Odin. at the turn of each century Odin consults the well of Mimir and glimpses into the future, in an effort to determine how close Ragnarok is, and then changes the Nature of his Einherjar accordingly in order to delay the coming of Ragnarok.

Ragnarok you see is said to come of days when the balance of good and evil are to wide apart, if there is too much good and the forces of evil are defeated the gates of evil will open spilling forth the end times where giants, titans and whatever other terrible beings of legend will walk the mortal realms.

It is the Einherjar's purpose to shift the balances of good and evil so that Ragnarok does not spark prematurly, to this end they are gifted with powers for them to take on things as powerful as the mythical frost giants single handedly.

Powers

Super Strength

Kastor posses Aesir strength which make him able to life 350 ton's above his head, his punches have been measured to hit at between 3-10 tons of pressure, and he can comfortably lift 40 Tons for an indefinite amount of time.

Invulnerability

Kastors bones are infused with Neutronium making them nigh impossible to break, Cut or Bend, and his enhanced muscle tissue makes Hitting him with Blunt Force useless, His skin cannot shrug off bullets or sword cuts and such but shooting him in the head is pointless basicly. the downside to this is that he also weighs alot more then what his body should given its seize.

Ageless Mastery

Given Kastors Longevity he has had all the time in the world to hone his fighting skills aswell as his technical skills and much much more. In short Time is never a problem for Kastor.

Super Speed

While he may not be able to fly kastor is capable for running faster then a speeding bullet in a straight line, which is completely opposite of what his seize and shape might give hints to. The speed is due to an ingenious device called a REFLEX Engine which lowers the mass of the object its attached into miniscule amounts within a Phase bubble, While in the world outside the Bubble the object still have same amount of mass and density within the bubble the objects mass is Significantly Reduced thus granting incredible speed possibilities to the user. The Device is programmed to respond to the way the users body works so the bubble dissolves when the user is not supposed to sprint.

Epsilon Technology

The pinnacle of Weapons and Armor engineering and science that TGE can deliver. Suits of Armor impervious to all small arms fire, Weapons capable of untold precision and firepower, Equipment capable of Incredible things, among these is the REFLEX engine and Zero Point Modulator, Tunguska-5 Fusion power and much much more.

Epsilon Technology is in short Equipment in the same quality as Dr.Doom and Ironman Combined if you want a Comic reference.

Tech Savant

Kastor is a natural talent when it comes to technology often being able to analyze and operate complex machinery with little to no prior knowledge of its workings.

Cold Resistance

Being an einherjar Kastor is naturally resistant to even the most frigid of enviroments.

Regeneration

Kastor's Einherjar Nature means that his body will given enough time heal all wounds that are not fatal, it also means that he quickly recovers from illness and intoxication.

Equipment

REFLEX Engine

The REFLEX engine is pinnacle of Personal movment technology, bending the laws of physics in unimaginable ways to accelerate the user to incredible speeds by using body movement.

ANVIL Armor

The ANVIL armor is a elegantly designed suit of armor that was made specifically for meta humans with super strength. It weighs 800kg's on its own, Powered by 6 Hydrogen fuel cells, and comes with an impressive assortment of equipment aswell as being plated in an experimental light and super strong synthetic material called weaved Neo-Vellix, this plates of Neo-Vellix comprise the bulk of the physical defenses on the Suit, attached to an anatomically fitted frame of a Chrome-Manganese-Vanadium-Neutronium Alloy. Also incorporated into the suit is a Highspeed Defelction Barrier designed to deflect objects incoming at highspeed like an arrow or a Bullet while letting things like a Punch pass through easily, the slower attacks getting stopped by the Neo-Vellix Plating.

The suit is also Outfitted with a nanite self repair gel layer, that automatically patches up armor plate damage, but anything beyond armor repair is beyond their ability.

Mark 1 ANVIL Armor

Mark 2 ANVIL Armor

LEVIATHAN Armor

The LEVIATHAN armor is all that the ANVIL armor was and more, its got more then 5 times the protection that the ANVIL does, however this added protection comes at added fuel consumption and decreased maneuverability, the suit is meant for head on assaults against superior opponents not for your day to day Heroics. The suit sports a staggering 2,5 ton weight on its own with an extremly durable Iron-Chrome-Corundum-Titanium-Neutronium Alloy Skeleton frame, and 6 inch thick Neo-Vellix plating, aswell as expanded Highspeed Defelction Barriers, and additional Magic dampners, the suits immense power consumption means that it needs a total of 26 Hydrogen fuel cells to run at peak capacity for the standard 10 hour duration.

Its High Power Impact Gauntlets features a Mass Increase/Decrease Generator which basicly means that a Split second before the gauntlet hits the target the mass of the Gauntlet increases exponentially turning the 250kg Gauntlet into a 25ton Gauntlet and splitseconds after impact it returns to normal again.

Mark 1 LEVIATHAN Armor

Magic Dampners

Due to his weakness against magical energies, Kastor developed a type of device that weakens the effects of magic in order to protect himself from it, while it protects him completely from aura magics, directed magic will still overwhelm the devices capabilities.

Digital Microforge

The Digital Microforge is a marvel of nano construction, the complex apparatus is capable of constructing anything and everything that have downloadable schematics, Even living beings can be synthized by using this extraordinary device. The Raw materials required for construction is stored in Automated Depots around the globe and the amounts needed is teleported directly too the Microforge as construction goes on.

Depending on what manner of item or creature needs to be constructed the construction time ccan varry from a few seconds to weeks. The plans for this Device exists only in two copies, one encrypted paper copy and one electronic copy within a blackbox in Kastor's brain.

Highspeed Deflection Barrier

The HDB is a TGE defense system specifically aimed at protecting the wearer from high speed objects like bullets and arrows, it utilizes directed Impulse blasts to violently kast the projectiles aside as they enter the HDB's range. The computer running the HDB is able to perform calculations and commands at 800.000 times the speed of a humans response tim, meaning that only an insane amount of bullets at the same time would overload the HDB. The only way to break through it is with melee attacks or Extreme Firepower.

Weaknesses

Magic Incompatibility

Due to a curse that was placed on him more then a Millenium ago his body and soul is incompatible with any and all types of magic except Aesir magic. Magic healing for instance will at best not work or at worst cause rapid cell necrosis in his body.

Harmful Magic works as it always have. a Fireball is a fireball and will burn him etc.

Racism

While i he prides himself on being open minded and free thinking there are a select few race that Kastor believes is beneath him and that they arnt worthy of being shown Pity or Mercy at all.

Angels

Angels are perhaps the single most hated race according to Kastor and he will show them no Mercy or Pity at all they are less then insects in his eyes, not worthy of living. At best he will simply be disgusted by their presence at worst he will try to rip their wings from their bodies and shove them into a meatgrinder. This hatred comes from World War 2 where Angels were responsible for the massacre of his comrades in arms.

Demons

To Kastor demons are inheirently decietful lying creatures both of which are qualities he do posses but finds bitterly distasteful, He usually keeps his interactions with Demons and their like to a minimum.

Vampires

It is not secret that Kastor holds a particular distaste for vampires. While he will do buisness with them he is not their friend and will make no effort to mask this feeling towards them, he will behave professionally neutral towards them but that is as far as he takes it.

Friends and Accociates

Thundrax

Although they do not speak as often as Kastor might like he highly respects Craig, but the occasional sparring match at Carl's Gym usually brings along a good banter about odd's and ends and assorted small talk. Kastor generally believe Craig is a person he can rely on fully should the shit hit the fan as they say.

Shanna

Shanna is an old love interest of Kastors, the two having had shared alot in the past but nowadays they are just good friends and Kastor mostly likes to pull jokes on her..which usually ends up in him getting jolted by one of Shanna's lightning bolts. but all in all its always good fun and good times.

Divael

Natasha Roy is an old Friend of Kastors and while they at times get heated debates about the philosophical aspects of technology versus magic and their differences of opinion on how to deal with certain problems they generally get along well.

Fer'De'Lance

Ferik Resnikov, formerly known as Fer-De-Lance, is a former child soldier and assassain formerly in the employ of Trans-Global Enterprises Security Division. Silent, ruthless and currently undergoing treatment for a number of psychological disorders, Ferik is none the less highly effecient at completing the specialized tasks he's assigned.

Misa

Misa is a bit of an odd relationship. Sometimes a friend sometimes a foe, Sometimes just annoying for Kastor but all in all she's considered a friend.

Melissa(Missy)

Missy is Kastors former lover and fianceé, She packs an attitude at most times and a sharp wit coupled with a wicked tongue at times, a former Olympean Avatar of some kind which Kastor still isnt quite sure about. People are warned that if she doesnt kill you...You can bet your ass Kastor will for trying something that might endanger her ( more then usual).

Sovereign Steel

The man is quite the mystery, hidden behind his armor and dellusions of grandeur, he is a brilliant scientest and engineer. Kastor recently enlisted his help with Project MAGISTER.

Quotes from People

"Met the guy in Carl's and it led up to him letting me become one of his models. Helped loads at the time financially. We've had a few times where we butted heads but hey, CC's a nice guy, even if he fails at keeping up with the times.' {The last sentence was said with a teasing tone and snerk.}" - Veronica Vivi Brimstone

"I've known CC a long time. We started off on odd terms, practically disliked each other but he came around. Now he's one of the best things I appreciate in this world. I knew he couldn't resist my charm and I tease him everyday about it just as much as I tell him I love him." - Melissa (Missy)

She takes a long pause, blinking several times over. "How to descibe a man that has seen the world evolve around him, and much more?" Shakes her head. "I don't think I can. But CC here is a friend of mine, and to be quite frank, to hear him take the name Ironbreaker and hop into the heroic business dumbfounded me. I mean, after all he's lived through over his long, long time on Earth, I thought he really, really done with all that stuff. Apparently not, and it's good to have somebody of his calliber alongside us. But, aside the heroic thing. I often wonder how I'm suppose to approach him at times. It's not a secret that we more than once debated about science versus magic... I still believe their equal in their own way, by the way. But that's beyond the point. He's a good and loyal friend, but even if I've known him for a long time, I still find him intimidating, because of his age and all the experience he's gained because of it." -Natasha Roy (Divael)

"If this man can persuade me to pose shirtless for his magazine, he can't be too bad a guy. The man has a file thick enough to beat goats to death with, and he's an infamous ex-villain, but you get the idea. I get the feeling he might skin me and fashion me into a pair of boots, though..." - Snowtalon
