Zachary Feynman

== Description ==
Zachary Feynman is former black ops, recruited by ORPHEUS. He is 5'8" with short dark hair and a trim physique. He has telekinetic powers, and his blood contains some property toxic to extradimensional entities.
== Story ==
As a child, Zach attends a summer camp in central Indiana. All campers and counselors mysteriously disappear, except him and another boy, Gerry. Zach survives because he is spirited away by the Lady Clothed in Crows. 
As an adult, he is sent back to the location of the summer camp incident on an ORPHEUS mission. He reconnects with the Lady, and she explains that she sent for him because he must stop Gerald from bringing hostile entities into the world. She mentions that his blood "called to her," and gives him some cryptic clues as to her nature and agenda.
With Dr. Caitlyn Danvers and Koji Miyazaki, Zach infiltrates the Prophecy's Children cult. He becomes suspicious that the recently deceased owner of the house, Benjamin Weiss, is alive and in the home's basement. He discovers that a horrifying procedure has stretched and expanded Weiss's body so that he fills the home's walls and pipes. After trying to destroy Weiss, he turns his fury on Gerald, and interrupts his summoning/transformation. The monster that was Artemis bites off one of his fingers, dying in agony immediately after consuming the digit. He realized his blood will kill the creatures, and forces it down Gerald's throat; Gerald explodes. Zach escapes with Caitlyn and Koji, but a black poison seems to be creeping up his arm from the stump of his severed finger.
At some point between 1969 and 2016, Zach's infected arm is amputated. ORPHEUS keeps it in cold storage, perhaps to study it. 
Despite the amputation, Zach becomes something terrible, tainted by his contact with these entities. He leaves ORPHEUS, but seeks to recover his arm. The arm is moved around to keep it away from him.
In 2016, Trevor takes the amputated arm to the Congregation of the Gentle Hand. 
== Death ==
A month or two after the events of Naperville, Florida, Sol Invictus locates Zach in a water tower in Washington state. They send Walter Marchand and his team to confront and capture the creature Zach has become. Tiresias learns of this and sends Kiera, Mitch, Pierce, and Koji to monitor the operation. Zach emerges from the water tower and lays waste to the surrounding area. Mitch destroys the arm. Koji uses all his occult might and an empowerment from the Lady Clothed in Crows to pull his former friend out of this reality and take him ... elsewhere. Zachary Feynman is presumed dead from this endeavour.
Later, Sol Invictus treats and purifies water from the water tank where Zach had been hiding, attempting to filter out particles of Zach's body to create their own version of a nephilim.
