		<bio_text>The remarkable technology used by Darrin Steel is part of a rare and highly specialized machines.  These rare artifacts have three common attributes - they are crafted to resemble ancient weapons and armor, they utilize a type of technology so alien to our own that D.A.T.A. scientists can make nothing of them, and they all bear the letters DSSM etched in script somewhere on their surface.

If Darrin or the other holders of these awesome works of technology know the meaning behind the mysterious signature - or how these wondrous things work at all - they will not say.   Interestingly, all of the pieces are in the hands of serious, dedicated heroes and the few attempts to steal the artifacts have failed - the theives claimed the artifacts stopped working when separated from their proper masters.   

Whatever the origin of his amazing technology, Darrin Steel is a force to be reckoned with on the streets of Paragon City and has only one neverending mission - to assure peace &amp; security in the City of Heroes.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>B'zaal Drynn comes from the world of Neel, far away from our solar system. He is a member of an elite group of interstellar law enforcers known as the Empyreal Sentries or simply the Empyreals, and our world lies within his protectorate. In times past, the Empyreals were a rare sight on Earth and all but unknown to the powers that be, oftentimes dismissed as myth.

The Empyreal Council first&amp;nbsp;took&amp;nbsp;notice of Earth when&amp;nbsp;strange dimensional activity was detected on their early warning systems. Arriving after&amp;nbsp;the Rikti War, the Sentry&amp;nbsp;assembled a team of superpowered heroes both from Earth and from distant star systems visited in his travels. Together they have become known to the public as the Star Defenders, and under the direction of the Sentry they patrol Earth and nearby space.

As for the Sentry himself, he wears a sophisticated breathing device at all times to enable him to breathe our air. &amp;nbsp;Despite his alien origins, the Sentry has proven himself a brave and caring hero.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>Neither Kris nor his wife Kayla suspected what they were getting into when they stopped to help the old stranger on their way to their honeymoon. The old man had long, flowing hair down to his ankles and wore strange, handwoven clothing and though he struggled to catch his footing, his limbs were hard as rock. He clasped their hands together, whispering to them that their hearts were worthy and pure, and then dissolved into a pile of dust as though a thousand years overdue.

Later that night, both husband and wife felt the stirrings of the power in their blood, and with the dawning of the new day they set out to use the gift with which they'd been entrusted together, soon finding that their powers enhanced and complemented one another making the two of them more formiddable than either alone.

Kris Mason, once known as Uppercut, still retains his preternatural strength and augments it with his newfound power over the earth itself in the fight against evil alongside his beloved wife.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>A wizard considered by most to be nothing more than a legend, Lo Tae Shao grew to power more than four thousand years ago, near the close of the Age of Dreams, when magic still flourished on the face of the earth and was accepted as reality by all.  

Working with the foremost magicians of the era, Lo Tae Shao created the Land of Magic, a pocket dimension shrouded by enchanted mists and sealed off from the rest of the world, a last gambit to preserve magic in a world where it was fading with every passing year.  

The project was a success, though entry and egress from the Land of Magic proved very difficult and soon stopped altogether.  Immortal by virtue of his considerable magical power, Lo Tae Shao eventually became one with the element of Lightning after centuries of study and meditation, and now serves as the element's champion, worshipped as a deity by some.

At the behest of his old student, Lo Pan, Lo Tae Shao returned to our world to take up the good fight once more.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>You do not know how fortunate you are to live in a world with laughter, light and green as far as the eye can see.   My people have fought for generations to have such things, and they fight still.  I have come to this world alongside my lady Hadria to seek allies in our neverending battle against the darkness.

I believe that here, in this place, we have found the ally that will finally bring light and life back to our darkened world.   Together Hadria and I shall prove ourselves to your people, for even here you have agents of the darkness.   When we have done so, it is my hope that your brave champions shall return with us and free my people once and for all.   

Burn bright, friend, burn bright against the darkness.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>The unfortunately named Michael Michaels was once a hopeless social failure, his frail build and lack of self-assurance virtually assuring his status as an recluse despite his undeniable genius.  Holding several doctorates in specialized fields such as Robotics, Medicine and Biotechnology,  Michaels lived in a world of his conceptions and rarely put forth more effort in the mundane world than was required to pay his bills and be left in peace.

All of that changed on one cold December evening when Michaels made a remarkable breakthrough, a circuit which could mimic and amplify the natural processes of the human brain!  Using the last of his savings and every ounce of his expertise, Michaels created a suit based upon this discovery, allowing him to assert his will over his foes - firing pain receptors in their minds, altering their perceptions and emotions.

Ironically, the physical training demanded by the heavy suit has itself transformed Michaels - few would recognize him for the wiry pariah he once was.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>A relative newcomer to the ranks of Earth's Warshades, Onisius is unusual in his engaging manner and natural leadership skills. &amp;nbsp; Whatever dark past haunts him from his days as&amp;nbsp;a Nictus, he seems adept at placing&amp;nbsp;it aside to function in the here and now as an effective&amp;nbsp;coodinator and leader.
 
This very strength has led some to distrust Onisius, speculating that perhaps he deals so well with his dark past because he has not fully renounced it. Tellingly, however, he has won the grudging respect of not only other Warshades but the distrustful Peacebringer community as well.

Onisius is not forthcoming as to either his human or his Nictus past, having confided that information in only a trusted few other Kheldians. Regardless of who he once was, Onisius is and will likely to continue to be a key figure in the ongoing struggle of the Kheldians to find their way on our world.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>Enigmatic and distant, the solitary hero known as Shah Mat is the latest in a line of sorcerers stretching back centuries, each passing his knowledge and craft on to a single apprentice, a wildly chaotic and powerful style of magic known only as The Maelstrom.    Practitioners of this dangerous and unstable form of magic develop incredible near-psychic abilities required to maintain their sanity in the face of the powers they wield.   

Traditionally, sightings of these Tempest Wizards are very rare, but a few month ago Shah Mat appeared in Paragon City and registered himself as one of its heroes.   What his motives or purpose might be here remains a mystery, but it seems to be tied up with the Circle of Thorns....   some in the heroic community are skeptical of Shah Mat's recent association with the young supergroup known as C.H.E.S.S., but the legends often speak of the Tempest Wizards choosing the most unlikely of apprentices...   only time will tell.</bio_text>

		<bio_text>Proud, taciturn and uncompromisng, Shalestone is a formiddable tactician in addition to his considerable magical powers.

Discrete consultation of leading M.A.G.I. mystics suggests that Shalestone may be a member of a reclusive race known as the T'rra, inherently magical beings who draw strength and nourishment from the earth itself. As T'rra very rarely if ever leave their subterranean strongholds, this would suggest that Shalestone is an outcast of some kind.</bio_text>
