Personality Traits: Mikkel is a calm and collected figure on the surface. He is the type of person who people immediately understand will listen to what they have to say and seriously consider it. He gives out an aura of a person who can be depended on at all costs. However beneath this, Mikkel has a more manipulative streak, and is constantly analysing those around him and thinking what buttons he could push to elicit a desired response. He sees people as puzzles which can be cracked.

Abilities: Emotional manipulation and persuasiveness. Emotional manipulation allows Mikkel to feel the emotions of those around him as the subjects feel them - after many years this very taxing ability has been brought under his control, and he feels emotions as his sixth sense. He is able to psychically change the emotions of his subjects, either altering their emotions individually or blanketing an area under an emotion e.g rage, love, lust.
Persuasiveness is a manifestation of his power of emotional manipulation: it allows for more specific control to be carried out. Through spoken words, Mikkel is able to easily persuade others to carry out his wishes. However this ability isn't as powerful, as it depends on his subjects being susceptible to what he has to say. For instance, a hardened military general is more difficult to persuade to hand over a password than his secretary who has suddenly found herself in love with Mikkel. Conversely, persuasiveness can be build up, and within an hour Mikkel can typically convince most people to do anything if given enough time to chat. 

Skills: Skilled with firearms, emotionally durable.  

Biography: Mikkel had an idyllic childhood, at least for a little while. His powers of empathy manifested as soon as he was born, and so he was bombarded with the emotions of others since he was a newborn. When he was home, Mikkel cried and screamed until his throat was raw and bloody - it was difficult for a child to be exposed to the emotions of his stressed, overworked father and his mother who would be beaten by him several times a month. By the time Mikkel was a toddler, the household had changed entirely: a blanket of calmness and childish happiness had covered his home, and his family had become the picture of happiness. Using his ability on his family for years did have drawbacks: his parents became strangely addicted to their son's presence, and ran home from work every day to be near him. When he reached elementary school, Mikkel's persuasiveness and emotional manipulation made him worshipped and adored by his classmates. Those he did not like, Mikkel simply persuaded the teacher to punish them. 

But somehow, someone noticed. It might have been one of the neighbours who found themselves affected by Mikkel's powers, it could have been a shop clerk, or one of his classmates parents. But one night Mikkel was stolen away in a black van and the house was torched. Neither parent survived. The year was 2006, and the war had only just begun. Mikkel was barely even a teenager, but it made no difference to his captors. For years he was locked away in a secret facility and his mouth was clamped shut so he couldn't persuade anyone to let him leave. He was forced to perform in twisted experiments and participate in life or death scenarios, but most of the time he was locked away, confined to his four walls and blank white room.

In 2011, Mikkel was set free by the mutant society. The facility he was imprisoned in was overwhelmed and he was taken to the Pit, where he spent the next year recovering physically and mentally. He was so grateful to his fellow mutants that he vowed never to use his abilities against them. For the years following, Mikkel became actively involved in furthering his education after his years locked away in the cell, learning from the emotional strength of his fellow mutants, and practising his combat in the simulation room until he was allowed to go on missions. After a few more years as an agent, and following a bloody beginning to the war, Mikkel was promoted to the Head of Recruitment and became responsible for all possible and new recruits amongst other responsibilities. Despite this, Mikkel refuses to stay in the Pit whilst his fellow mutants are fighting, and regularly embarks on missions wherever his talents are useful.
