Character Bio

MIT graduate by age 17, 2nd PhD by 21, Michael Givre pioneered revolutionary electronics and physics models in his first 2 years in the job market. Securing a position at Portal Corporation, he helped redesign portal devices to be more stable and efficient.

During the Rikti War, Michael was at a Portal facility when a Rikti attack caused an active portal system to explode. Michael was near the cooling system, and was both bathed in released energies from the collapsing portal and immersed in liquid nitrogen coolant. Instead of killing him, the event somehow imbued Michael with power over cold. He has since used that power and his skill at technical gadgetry to become a Hero.

Michael has also become a shrewd businessman, using his brilliance and Hero status to build a corporate giant, Frost Technologies, that specializes in hero gear.

WinterStrike is a well-known Paragon socialite, and is frequently in the tabloids. His outlook: those who work hardest should play hardest, too.
