Now he protects Las Vegas from rouge Specials. It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever heard, but only he heard it. In concert, she uses no band or microphones, and her talent does not function on a recording. Nobody remembers much about her songs except how beautiful they are. Also, the force that created the Specials resides in him, making him the most powerful of all the Specials.
Poet is our narrator, telling the story from long after it is over.
He is very reserved, even as a child he never smiled. He was the last of the Specials born, having been concieved moments before the famous flash in the sky. His real father is Mr. Fisk, Randy's father, whom his mother was having an affair with at the time. He has a special friendship with Dr. Welles, who taught him that as keeper of the power it is his responsibility to protect the world from the other Specials if any of them go out of control. He was killed during the battle to free Chicago from Critical Maas, but was resurrected by Cathy Jean.
