Known Background Mateo Reyes was born on an agrarian world to parents and a single sibling. Even as a child he has shown great endurance and strength, growing at enough of a clip that New Garden, the corporation that owned the settlement he lived on, took an interest. They eventually recruited him into private security and from there he saw tours of corporate duty on various worlds. Eventually Mateo was selected as a candidate to receive cutting edge at the time prosthetics and to be one of the first of New Garden's power armored forces. He volunteered in the name of corporate security and in return they gave him arms that could lift nearly anything without effort, legs that would be able to march through the thickest environments, a reinforced spinal cord that could support his arms, eyes that wouldn't be fazed by flash bang grenades, and a heart that could withstand EMP attacks and still continue to pump. All of this combined with a neck jack that allows him to interface with any power armor or power lifter to increase his strength five times over. After recovering from surgery Mateo found that New Garden didn't exactly make power armored soldiers to protect the settlements, but by then he was already making enough money to send back to his family and augmented far past the point of normalcy. In the years since he has left the security division and settled into mercenaryindustrial work. Mateo took on more combat oriented jobs with mercenary companies until his late thirties where he found that his cybernetics were starting to grow older and needed more careful maintenance. Mateo needed regular medical attention that wasn't available on a battlefield. He found work with crews that needed augmented people that could do heavy lifting and transported medical personnel or had a physician on the ship. He eventually found his way to the St. Anne where he hauls cargo all day and smokes away the pain of his aging cybernetics. Unknown Background Of course New Garden wouldn't have turned him from a man into a titan without installing some sort of failsafe. Mateo has a killswitch, a phrase when uttered will stop his heart from beating. The company that supposedly only funded colony worlds were using them to test their experimental cybernetics on. Under the threat of the killswitch Mateo was forced to round up colonists on various worlds and have them unwillingly operated on. The only person who still knows the killswitch is the current Chief Security Officer of New Garden. For years Mateo has been planning a raid on the CSO's office on some backwater planet, but as he ages he finds that he may need some assistance in doing so. If he ever finds that his cybernetics or heart starts to fail, the raid may become a suicide mission.
