[color=turquoise][sub]As they say in the military, these are 'the brass' of HERO.

Never enough bureaucrats, after all.[/sub][/color][hr]

A French immigrant, Director Alexandra Steel was born Alexis Montagne, a wealthy girl from an upper-class family, one that studied at the Sorbonne before arriving in America. She worked for the FBI for a number of years before deciding to use her powers, which had long kept a secret, as a member of HERO. Known as "the Black Crow," Alexis Montagne officially shed her old identity as a "posh girl" and became Alexandra Steel. She worked for a number of years keeping the streets safe before taking a position in HERO's administrative cabinet. After the unfortunate passing of Director Jamie Stewart, Steel was promoted to the position of Director, which she has held for the last few years.

Steel is tough as nails, serious, and direct, well-known for not holding back when she is displeased. She is a very considerate individual, though, and is always focused on trying to improve Castleburg and keep her staff safe instead of just blindly sending heroes out.

Assistant Director Blum's rise to HERO's top ranks is one of intrigue, as he actually started his career on the other side of the law. The man known as Raymond Blum Jr. actually originally worked for a major gang in Brookside that trafficked illegal arms throughout the area. Well-known as a fearless and capable hitman, Ray Blum would eventually come to be defeated by former HERO director Hugo Powers in a rare public outing of the hero. From there, Raymond dedicated himself to reform, having been inspired by the hero that usurped him, and when paroled became the Man-Titan, a hulking hero that single-handedly dismantled the entire gang of his former allies. 

He was nominated by newly-minted Director Steel to serve as the Assistant Director, bypassing a number of bureaucrats for the position, and while he has not quite gotten the hang of his paperwork responsibilities yet, he is well-respected as both a tough but empathetic figure in the HERO community.

[color=MediumPurple][INDENT]"A bit of an enigma. Obviously, Assistant Director Blum and I have much more knowledge about him than the public do, but with him, I always feel as though we're missing something about him. He certainly has a history with HERO, as well as a history against us. Definitely worth keeping a very close eye on, but at the same time, his work is always exceptional. You don't get people that are so clean and effective in crimefighting that often."[/INDENT][/color]
[B][  A.L.I.S.A. COMMENTS  ][/B]
[color=Turquoise][INDENT]Blur Rabbit is the fastest HERO we currently have in the database. His maximum speed puts even solely speed-enhanced heroes in the dust. When it comes to finishing early, there are no other heroes that can even come close.[/INDENT][/color]
[B][  CONTIGENCY PLAN  ][/B]
[color=MediumPurple][INDENT]"R&D has provided us with a special lubricant that reduces surface friction to almost zero.

[color=MediumPurple][INDENT]"The living embodiment of the word 'experienced.' Pandora brings a blank check to the table when it comes to her capabilities, and she balances that with a cool head. I've been told that the former HERO directors got on with her quite well, but myself? I can't stay at ease around somebody with that much raw power. It's scary."[/INDENT][/color]
[B][  A.L.I.S.A. COMMENTS  ][/B]
[color=Turquoise][INDENT]Pandora's first interaction with America was actually in 1812, when she was part of the British fleet that burned down the White House. Despite being a member of HERO for over 30 years now, she still has a permanent ban from Washington, DC. After all, you can't trust somebody that calls soccer 'football.' [/INDENT][/color]

[color=MediumPurple][INDENT]"We always have a need for raw strength in our ranks, and Blitz certainly brings raw strength to the table. Unfortunately, he also brings copious amounts of baggage to the table. He is, simply put, a nightmare for HERO's PR department, but when it comes to fighting crime, well, his results speak for themselves."[/INDENT][/color]
[B][  A.L.I.S.A. COMMENTS  ][/B]
[color=Turquoise][INDENT]Outside of holding multiple records for strength, Blitz also places on HERO's leaderboard for "most amount of drugs in the body during a villain fight." The amount of cocaine in his system was enough to kill an elephant. Worryingly, Blitz was outplaced by 7 other heroes.[/INDENT][/color]
[B][  CONTIGENCY PLAN  ][/B]

Her parents are former HERO operatives, and though I was still in France at the time they were hitting their stride, I've heard stories about them.

[color=Turquoise][INDENT]In the process of my routine background checks on new HERO applicants, I came across her fanfictions.
