Griptaut

Naven Ckone, whose alias is Griptaut, is a powerful superhuman and a member of Sera.  He is one of the members responsible for guarding entry into the main Sera facility.
==Superpower==
Griptaut has an astronomically immense grip strength.  He himself refers to it as 'infinity grip.'
If he manages to gain a hold on something, it is literally impossible to take it from him or break through his grip.  He can grind bones to dust with a single squeeze, deform zip-null in his hand, pinch holes through carbon steel and shatter skulls with a single flick.
==Control==
Despite his immense hand strength, he is capable of easily controlling his strength in order to do everyday tasks such as turning doorknobs and shaking people's hands.  However, before he was taken in by Sera, he had very little control of his powers and it caused many terrible problems.
==History==
Naven was born into the Ckone family, a family that specializes in indoor and outdoor plumbing.  From an early age, he watched and learned as his parents worked day and night, leaving little to no time to interact with him.
At the age of 12, he decided that he wanted to follow in his parent's footsteps and become a professional plumber.  His parents were overjoyed, and soon afterwards he began getting the attention he always craved from them.
: "This is a pipe wrench, son.  It's a neat little tool and it's a plumber's best friend.  You hold it like this..."
: "Wow, Navie!  You fixed that leak all by yourself!  I'm so proud of you!"
He discovered his power accidentally.  Object after object, doorknob after doorknob, his grip was breaking things around the house and in everyday situations.
And then it stopped.  He suddenly had control over it.
But this did not last long.  One day, while he and his father were tightening a boiler pipe, the pipe suddenly bent and a massive jet of boiling hot water sprayed his father in the face and hands.  His father became blind in one eye, needed surgery in the other, and had such severe burns on his hands that he would no longer be able to do any work as a plumber.  His career was over.
The worst part of it was the optimistic way his father took it.
: "It was time for me to retire anyway.  Now you can show us what you're made of and take my place as head of the family.  Your mother and I are so proud of you."
He could never tell them that he both forgot to turn off the water that day and caused the pipe to break.
Burdened with guilt, he ran away from his home and was determined to not return until he could control himself.  And that's where Sera came in.
==Appearance==
Naven is a big, burly man with chiseled features.
