His father was an honest, god-fearing family man. Working at a blacksmith, producing blades for small swords usually worn by aristocrats. Karl's father managed to carve a comfortable living for him, his wife, Karl and his two older brothers. Much to Karl's parents dismay, instead of studying or working, he joined a gang which operated in Birmingham. Initially he just helped the gang with their criminal activities like bookmaking and extortion however with both his talent in the use of a dagger and his new-found power, soon turn Karl into the gang's go-to guy for muscle. Eventually every crook and hooligan in the streets of Birmingham spoke of The Red Eyed Bastard from the Lads of Birmingham. One day, upon reaching home he found his parents killed. Their throat slit cleanly with almost surgical precision. For the first time he wept. Yes, he had stabbed people and beaten them black and blue but the calm, but macabre scene of his parent's corpse shook his 23-year-old being. He couldn't really recall much of the next few days. All he knew was that at one point he was discovered and jailed, his brothers missing but presumed dead. With his reputation and their cause of death he was immediately given a death sentence The day before his execution, a well-dressed man entered his cell with an offer, an offer he can’t refuse. [b]Ability:[/b] [list] [*] [b]Dagger User:[/b] Karl is extremely proficient in the use of a Randel dagger. Originally his skill with a knife consisted of pure talent and instinct, using a kitchen knives and rudimental switch blades but eventually he self-taught himself the dagger system taught in an old German manual called the “Gründtliche Beschreibung der Kunst des Fechtens” also known as “A Foundational Description of the Art of Fencing: A Thorough Description of the Free, Knightly and Noble Art of Fencing, Showing Various Customary Defenses, Affected and Put Forth with Many Handsome and Useful Drawings” written by the famous german fencer, [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Meyer]Joachim Meyer[/url] His own personal style merely incorporate both the John Meyer’s system and the tricks he learned in the streets [*] [b](Power) Overexertion Immunity:[/b] This is his actual ability. For a period of time ( one hour at a time ), he is immune to the effects of physical, mental and spiritual overexertion, whether it be body strain, stress, pain or simply getting tired. This allows Karl to push his body, overcome his limits and go further with his abilities without the consequences of doing so, pushing himself physically and mentally further in ways he is not supposed to without getting hurt or tired. If he is affected by overexertion when he activates his power, their effects vanish but they return once the power ended. So, for example if he is tired and fatigued, once he activate his power he will no longer feel tired and fatigued but once his power ended, he becomes as tired and fatigued as before he activated his power [/list] [b]Other resource[/b] [center][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondel_dagger][b]A Rondel Dagger[/b][/url][/center] [center][img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31gvael9BCL._SX425_.jpg[/img][/center] [b] Department: [/b] Operations [/hider]
