Appearance: [img=http://i51.tinypic.com/8vz314.jpg]
Side: Hero, but isn't overly choosy about his methods
Personality:He is a strategic mind, a cool thinker, and has a firm belief in justice. He believes that crime deserves to be punished and the weak protected, but he doesn't always agree that their is a certain way to go about it. He knows that some times the morally right way, isn't the smart way. While he never takes this ideal to far, he is willing to sacrifice his own beliefs and conscious if it means the salvation of the whole.
Biography: He one of the first, if not the first, conduits to get locked up by the DUP, caught while trying to break up a gang war that was involving innocent civilians, then was blamed for the whole ordeal. He stayed in Curdan Cay, a model prisoner for the most part, always bidding his time for his escape. He also began forming a group among the conduits, under the nose of the guards, other like minded individuals who wanted to break out, but also wanted to do something more fufilling than petty crime and mindless slaughter. When they were freed, they immediately set their plan into motion, and within months and with the help of the internet, they set up a wide net of interlocked conduit gangs that sought to keep their own in line. The main group, located in New York, is under his control and has relatively few members, but they are all specifically trained and among the best they have to offer. Each different faction bears a difference in their name, they all keep one part the same, The Dragon. The New Yorks Branch goes by the monkier, "The Dragons of the Vanguard", though most just refer to them as the "Vanguard". 
Power: Ash/Smoke, and a bit of fire
abilities:

Ash Constructs: He condense the ash into sturdy, but mainly inanimate objects, such as chains, blades, and other such items.
Teleportation/Dematerialization: He can dematerialize himself into ashes and 'transport' to another location. While like this, he is unable to be damaged by normal means.

Ash armor: He hardens ash around him, creating a tough, but relatively manuverable set of armor around him. He can sprout blades and such from this armor, but it weakens the intergrity of the sections it sprouts from.

Ash bomb: A grenade that disorients and blinds those within it's radius, but doesn't cause much damage. If he feels the need, however, he can ignite the ash particles, turning the area into and intense inferno.

Fire ball: A simple pyrokinetic move, allows him to fire of a ball of fire, with several variants. A quick low damage stream, like a flame thrower, a slower but more powerful stream, powerful bolt action style firing, or a mixture of ash and fire that creates a sort of napalm effect on anything it hits.

Fallen Angel: He can form to ash wings to fly around as his form of transportation, able to do so indefintely due to being able to create his own hot air to glide on and keep him a float.

Other: He carries around a staff that he can infuse with his power to give it a blade at the top. Can also be set alight to give him a small, continuous recharge.
