Personality
Serious with a focus on security and peaceful living would best describe Devin. He is extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable when dealing with issues involving himself and those around him. Devin exercises a well-developed power of concentration and he is often interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hardworking, he has been known to constantly be working steadily towards an identified goal. 

History/Backstory
Born as the younger of two Devin had a somewhat normal upbringing. His mother was loving and his father a little childish, but in the good way. He bickered and fought with his older sister, but through all that there was a strong amount of love between the two siblings. His schools were public; however, they were also known to be the best in the school districts. The reason one would not label his upbringing as completely normal is because of his dad.

Leon Sean Royals was an unknown genius inventor for a massive pharmaceutical company. It was a company owned by a company under another company that was likely owned by an even larger company. Either way he was sort of a big fish in a little pond. His childish nature was cultivated and nurtured at work that tasked him with assorted designs and given instructions to advance or alter the technology. 

As the years went by Sean became aware that there had been a steady shift in his work towards things beyond the normal scope. He was starting to be tasked with looking into equipment belonging to some famous crime fighters. At first he enjoyed the idea that he was working for a company that helped supply the many great heroes with their tools of the trade. It wasn’t until he started to make his own tools that he quickly realized he wasn’t helping the good guys. Instead he was arming the bad guys.

Sean knew that going to the police would put his family in danger so he tried to find a way to contact the heroes of the Justice League. His warnings and messages were all black balled and fell on silent ears. Finally as a last resort the man dawned his own secret identity called Da Vinci, in an attempt to possibly favor the direct attention of the league. Instead he was met with his own inventions by several villains. He was wounded and only survived by reaching his home where Devin found his dad nearly dead in the garage. 

A hospital stay and some rehab allowed Sean to tell his son what he had learned. Together the two were able to devise their own plan and when all was said and done the two had succeeded in taking down Sean’s employers. After that day the two continued to work together to take down crime groups in their community. Mostly sticking to organized crime with a few villains and anti-hero groups learning their names the two had a nearly yearlong run before disaster struck. On a nightly patrol Sean and Devin caught a diamond exchange robbery in progress over the police radio. 

They came ready to help only to be caught in an ambush set up by the Triads. Armed with highly advanced weapons Sean had to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his son. Devin was able to escape, but had to leave his father behind. After that night Devin hunted the weapons down and nearly purged the entire city of their suppliers. When everyone involved was in jail he sealed his father’s secret room under the family garage and has never taken up his alternate identity again. The death of Sean rocked the entire Royal family. Devin told everyone that he didn’t know that his dad was the hero called Da Vinci.

While the press believed Devin could be Da Vinci sidekick he led a life that quickly became boring making the press and everyone else lose interest in the hunt for Da Vinci’s sidekick. Over time many new secret heroes became the headline grabbers and Devin and his families tragedy faded from public memory. For the family itself the wound is still healing.
