Jump to: navigation, search

Connor Shel is the son of hellspawn Arcel Shel, and samurai warrior maiden Nessa Akatsume, making him a halfbreed. He is known by his current moniker Sentry and serves as the soul link creature to Samuel Mason. Sentry was initially soul bound to John Crypt and a familiar to Decen, the Paladin of War.

After slaughtering his clan, Sentry embarked on a crusade to garner as much enemies as possible to die by the sword. During his crusade, members of Millennium City named him The Dark Masamune, due to his samurai plating, superior, fluid, technique, and his ruthlessness in battle.


Background

Connor was a Champion in Millennium City and a member of a Super Group Clan alongside his father and mother. Trained by his father to study his power, and trained by his mother in the ways of the Doma Clan, Connor became a very powerful warrior. As Connor continued his training, his powers, due to his hybrid genetics, increased at an exponential rate, which was seen as a threat by his father. Arcel would banish Connor from his clan, convincing the other members that Connor conspired to take over and destroy the clan. Connor was devastated by his banishment and his betrayal at the hands of his own parents. Emotional trauma manifested a significant boost in hellspawn magic, which transformed Connor into a monster, giving into his feral nature. A transformed Connor proceeded to slaughter everyone in the clan, ironically fulfilling the allegation Arcel put on his son.

Connor regained his control after witnessing the horror of his actions. Completely giving up on his life, Connor decided to turn to villainy, slaughtering and killing heroes. Connor's one desire was to garner enough hatred by the heroes of Millennium City that eventually, one powerful enough would end his life.

After Connor had defeated the entire Champions Team, Defender contracted Decen of Acadia to eliminate Connor, who was now known as "The Dark Masamune", after the fluidity of his fighting technique, but the ruthlessness of his attacks.

Decen and Masamune fought in a brutal battle, with Masamune consistently slashing and cutting Decen with his twin katanas, but Decen's superior regeneration eventually wore the halfbreed down. Merrow, initially outclassed in strength and technique, managed to impale a depleted Masamune with her spear, and defeat the dark samurai.

Masamune begs Decen for death, referring to himself as a Kaiju (Monster) for his actions, but Decen tells the warrior to keep living, and gives him a chance at redemption. Decen renames Masamune as "Sentry", and tells him he will serve as his bodyguard. To use his powers to protect, rather than destroy mindlessly. Sentry becomes Decen's familiar, and joins him in his battles.

Following Decen's death at the hands of Mogul, Sentry's face becomes disfigured and the familiar dissipates and enters Decen's amulet. Since then, Sentry wore a mask to cover his face. Sentry would then bind with Decen's last remnant and aid the boy in becoming stronger, in hopes of one day returning to Merrow and defeating Mogul, avenging Decen's death.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Hellspawn: Connor's father is Arcel Shel, who was a hellspawn. The hellspawn are creatures that reside from the underworld, and are known to be the most powerful beings in existence due to their demonic powers. They are the contrast of the Celestials. Connor inherits Arcel's self regeneration, and dark powers, giving him a tremendous boost in strength, speed, and durability. Due to being a hybrid, Connor's hellspawn powers are abnormally powerful, and surpasses the average hellspawn. When Connor transformed into a monster, the power of the underworld transformed him into a devil, giving him an even more powerful boost in power, at the cost of the manifestation of demonic features, a dark aura, and a feral nature. When Connor is defeated by Decen and reverted back to his old self, Connor's demonic features stayed.

Abilities

Way of the Warrior: Connor received training from his mother, Nessa Akatsume. Nessa taught Connor the Doma samurai way, and Connor learned to wield the katana as well as empty handed combat. Connor's technique is described to be like his mother's, beautiful and fluid, yet very deadly and efficient. Connor's technique complements his hellspawn powers, making him one of the most powerful samurai in existence. Connor donned the traditional samurai plating to honour his mother's teachings. After his betrayal, he stripped a portion of the armour off as an act of disrespect to his clan, symbolizing that he himself is strong enough to destroy his foes, not needing to rely on the clan.
