Mason Eckhart

Mason Eckhart is one of the major characters from the Mutant X series.
== Charactah Account ==
Mason is the head of the GSA, the agency responsible for capturing and experimenting on New Mutants. Mason is a scheming person. He plans a lot of schemes which are successes and failures. He also has accomplices with him to help him carry out his schemes.
While Mason does not have any actual New Mutant powers, he is a Machiavellian schemer. Most of his schemes are unsuccessful and only one of his schemes was successful. His only successful scheme was when GSA Nick Renfield froze Barry and he had Barry podded. Most of his schemes are unsuccessful because his agents, informant, accountant and trainees failed to carry out his schemes and they end up in a stasis pod.

== Trivia ==
* Early casting breakdowns show that the character of Mason Eckhart was originally to be named Albion Magnus. However, once Magnus was considered too similar to the name of X-Men's villain, Magneto, the name was changed, first to Marcus Eckhart (briefly), then again to Mason Eckhart before the show was aired. Hints of that original name "Marcus" tend to pop up from time to time in old articles and websites, and even once in the series itself. If you listen carefully to the episode "Russian Roulette," you'll notice that Sonya mistakenly calls herself "an associate of Marcus Eckhart." And in Mason's biography on the faux website Genomex.net, it is stated that Mason once had a twin brother, Marcus, who drowned in an accident when the two were boys. There are certain fans who subscribe to the theory that the crazy-haired stammering man Brennan killed in the season three episode "Into the Moonless Night" was not really Mason, but in fact his twin Marcus Eckhart.
* Mason speaks french. His favorite composer is Henry Purcell. He strongly discourages smoking in his office at Genomex. He has a fear of infection.
* Mason resembles American artist Andy Warhol. During his period in cryo-stasis, he lost his Andy Warhol-hairstyle. He had a new look in Season 2 of the show. What happened to his new look after the explosion is uncertain. How he got his Andy Warhol hairstyle in Season 3 of the show is uncertain.
* Mason's eerie resemblance to the American artist Andy Warhol is probably unintentional. According to one interview with Tom McCamus, Mason's white wig was chosen for its creepy appearance.
