Orothos

*"All my life my mother tried to do the good thing the right thing by the people she loved but she was overshadowed by people who cared about one thing only....money, when I knew I had the power within me to stop you I took my opportunity as you can see your greatest 'invention' turned against you."* - Orothos after defeating Jerrard Warren the former owner of Apollo

Norah Kent (later going by the name Orothos) was a human female that lived and worked with her mother in the company called Apollo as an executive's assistant directly under her mother and Jerrard Warren who Norah looked to as a mentor and father figure in her line of work, the company itself worked on mutating the power of the sun using solar panels and light to fuse it into new technology being light technology. Whilst Norah was not involved with the practical work with light technology she aspired to one day work on it like the many engineers who did however her mother had hoped that she would one day become an executive and lead a good life, despite her mother's intentions Norah would always go to Jerrard persisting that she work on the light technology and whilst Jerrard respected her mother's wishes he would allow Norah to help him work on the prototype light technology generator. At some point during their experimenting Norah would be caught by her mother and she proceeded to take her away from the generator however the two would be locked in the room by Jerrard who had planned on killing Norah's mother for reasons that were unknown to her at the time, the generator would activate with a powerful beam firing from it straight into Norah's mother's heart killing her and the blast knocking Norah out. Norah would eventually wake up inside Jerrard's office where he tried to explain why he did what he did but she refused to listen and out of pure anger after learning of her mother would blast a wave of light at Jerrard which left him concussed and Norah time to escape the building, after escaping she returned to her home where she discovered that her own DNA had fused with the light energy that emitted from the generator. Learning of her new powers she would dedicate her time to stopping Jerrard and Apollo from trying to create new weapons from light technology, eventually after enough time of her battling the company Norah would fight Jerrard who had managed to fuse his own DNA with light energy giving himself similar powers, the two fought and Norah would manage to defeat him but restrained from killing him and left him for the police with proof of the company making weapons unsanctioned. With Jerrard arrested Norah would go under a new name of Orothos and proceeded to take charge of Apollo becoming the new CEO working with the US government to provide a better energy source across the country, at some point in the future Orothos would be one of the first members of the Enigmas which became a group of individuals who dedicated themselves to protecting earth.

## Biography

### Early Life

Norah Kent was born in San Francisco to two young parents who both were still at university struggling to make ends meet and bringing Norah into their lives only made them argue more which led to Norah's 5th birthday her father would leave her and her mother never ever contacting them again, despite her father leaving her Norah would grow even closer to her mother because of this eventually going on to study engineering like she did. After 3 years of university Norah would leave and immediately started her first job being an executive assistant to her mother in the company of Apollo where she met the owner Jerrard Warren who gradually became Norah's father figure and mentor whilst she worked in the company, being an assistant within the company Norah's mother would keep her away from the prototypes and other projects that Jerrard was working on for reasons that were unknown to Norah at the time.

### Orothos

#### Gaining Power

Whilst she was kept away from the practical work within the company it was not possible to stop Norah from actually seeing the work being done and being enticed by herself to want to do more than admin work for her mother however she would respect her mother's wishes, despite respecting her mother's wishes Norah always had the ambition to help the company more than just sitting behind a desk so much so that she would eventually begin having regular chats with Jerrard about her desire to help on the new light energy generator being their biggest project. These chats began to cause a rift between Jerrard and Norah's mother as he would try to convince her to let Norah help more practically within the company, at some point Jerrard would offer Norah small sessions throughout the day to help him work on the light energy generator which was unknown to her mother. Whether it was her academic knowledge from university or her own intuition she was able to make modifications to the light energy generator that no other engineer was able to do making it more sustainable and efficient bringing the company one step closer to being able to provide the country with a better eco friendly self sustaining energy source, as she was making these improvements it wouldn't be long until Norah's mother would discover what she was doing and tried to stop her however as this was happening the room in which the two were in would be locked. Once they were locked in Jerrard would reveal himself to be the one that had locked them in where he began powering up the generator telling both of them the only way for the future of the company and the country was for Norah's mother to be terminated as she would stop their progress, confused by what he meant Norah would run to save her mother as Jerrard powered up the unstable generator which would force a beam of light to blast out which would kill Norah's mother and knock Norah out.

Waking up Norah found herself tied to a chair awake inside Jerrard's office who waited for her to wake so that he could explain why he did what he did which was kill Norah's mother as she had threatened to expose the light technology projects that he was using to make into new weapons which he would sell to the US government and provide advanced security to the country, whether it was out of anger of her mother's death or simply feeling betrayed by what Jerrard was really up to Norah would accidentally activate her newfound power of a light aura breaking her binds. As she broke out she would be restrained by Jerrard's guards which Norah would emit a light blast similar to the generator that had killed her mother, she would proceed to escape the office and the building where she went into hiding in the city of San Francisco having met up with some of her old university friends. With her friends all studying technology in university like Norah did they would run tests on her trying to understand her new power and how she got it where they would theorise that the majority of the blast that killed Norah's mother would act as a shield however the remaining light particles fused with Norah's DNA and that it was pure luck that the right amount had entered her body and didn't kill her, exploring her power Norah was able to find out that she could conjure her power to create things of pure light including firing light blasts towards things.

#### Becoming Orothos

With the help of her friends and her own practice with her powers Norah would begin to understand the power she possesses and how her aura is now fused with the light technology that Apollo had produced Norah would turn her attention to the company and Jerrard to stop him from releasing any of his weapons, over the few months that Norah had practised her powers and understood its origin Jerrard had finally upgraded his light projects making them the most valuable thing in the world. Knowing that he had planned to turn them into weapons Norah would return to San Francisco with the help of her friends to sneak into Jerrard's office and steal the virtual contracts he had with the government to use as proof to shut down his projects, after she had stolen the contracts she would contact Jerrard threatening him just like her mother had done but Jerrard would reveal that he hadn't killed her mother because of her threatening to expose the deal between him and the government but rather he needed more time to perfect his own weapon so that he may sell them to the highest bidder such as terrorist organisations or other groups only so he could kill them and become a saviour and hero to the world increasing the demand for his protection and that the deal legally allowed him to make weapons, realising that he was planning on using the weapons on foreign soil to start a war that he would profit from. Norah would make her way the next day to the Apollo weapons demonstration that was being held with thousands of people in attendance to witness the new generation of weapons, Norah would make use of her powers quietly to sneak into the press conference and weapons demonstration where she would bare witness to Jerrard and robot suits powered by light energy who began holding the people in attendance hostage.

Norah would make her way to the centre of the room where she revealed herself trying to stall Jerrard whilst also trying to understand his true intentions to which he revealed that since his own upgrade now having his own version of Norah's power making his entire body glow of light he wanted to achieve world peace by force starting with America, as she stalled him Norah noticed that she could do a spin light beam attack taking out all of the robots within a short time allowing it to be just her and Jerrard. She would proceed to commit to her attack allowing for the hostages to leave the room leaving it completely empty except for her and him where she began her own attack on Jerrard partly to stop him and partly out of revenge for her mother's death, in what would be a lengthy fight the two would completely destroy the HQ of Apollo and Norah would be able to entrap Jerrard inside her own light dome. Once he was trapped their fight would be interrupted by the military who would manage to capture Jerrard whilst Norah escaped covering her face so that she could not be identified and would once again lay low for a couple of days, Norah would once again surface returning to the rubble of the old Apollo building where she would address the press about the future of the company and that thanks to her mother's will and previous position within the company she would be able to assume her mother's position being a member of the board of directors whilst a new chairman and CEO was being decided. Whilst waiting for this decision to come Norah would dedicate her spare time to tracking down some of the unrecovered or not destroyed weapons that Jerrard had secretly sold hoping to stop them from being used, it would be during this time that Norah gave herself the identity of Orothos 'the light of Apollo'. Eventually the decision for the new CEO and chairman of the company would come with Norah promising to continue with the company's original objective of helping to build self sustaining light generators that would be better for the planet, not long after her promotion she would be met in her office by Milton Nichols who represented the US government to discuss the undisclosed contract they had with Jerrard where Norah would threaten him by willing to reveal the contract to the public which could potentially be enough for the entire US to begin rioting against the government. Milton would reveal that Jerrard had broken their contract and decided to use the weapons for himself which is why the military had turned up to confiscate the weapons that Norah had now destroyed and Milton would further reveal that he knew of Norah's power and identity of Orothos, Milton would go on to speak to Norah about using her powers for more than just protecting people from Apollo's weapons in a specialised branch within the US government that had the combined resources of the CIA, FBI and the US army. He would state that the weapons were going to be used for this branch that would protect the country and eventually the world with his plan to present it to the UN, Norah would initially decline Milton's offer to join this team but offered her expertise by being on call should he ever need her help with anything.

### The Enigmas

#### SHRIEK Crisis

After a few years of running Apollo being the new CEO for the company taking over from Jerrard she would go on to expand the company into other projects rather than just weapons which was their original plan and followed what her mother always wanted it to be, during this time Norah took note of a new company and potential rival Josef Gruber who was secretly known as Electrode in the organisation called Sparrow which due to their funding and his ideology to evolve the human race through technology. Seeing the spike in technological advancements that Gruber was making alongside the large growth his company was making Norah would do some illegal investigation into Gruber Electronics to find out who was funding him and how he got his hands on some of the best technology fearing that he could become the next Jerrard Warren with the rapid growth in technology and such, during her investigation Norah would find out that there were several major organisations that were listed as investors into the company however there was one that was secretly hidden in the shown investors list that being Sparrow. As she knew that this group were a private security company this would only enforce Norah's theory that Gruber was most likely going to be making them upgraded weapons and technology for a discounted price, returning to her office she was greeted by Milton Nichols in what would be their second meeting where Milton spoke once again about having Norah join his team he dubbed the name of the Enigmas but Norah was still not convinced to join until Milton brought up the name of Sparrow with them being more than just some small security firm. This would peak her interest as she had been looking into them and she would reveal to him what she had discovered of them being an investor in Gruber Electronics who had recently began creating energetic weapons that if improved upon could change warfare once and for all, after conversing a little more Norah would decide to join Milton in being a part of the Enigmas on a condition that she had her own station where she could work from.

The two would head to an undisclosed location functioning as Milton's headquarters now being provided to him by the United Nations where Norah would meet both Blitzfire and The Sentinel who were already the first two members of the Enigmas, Norah would immediately notice and joke that the two looked like the generic government agents that she used to run away from and so began a friendly rivalry between the two and herself before then turning their attention back to Milton. Milton would bring the three together in a meeting where all three of them did not know why they were brought together with both Holly and Jade being very confused as to why he brought along Norah on what they thought was another mission, having finally gotten them all together he would bring in Warren Russo now going under the pseudonym The Warden who was a former operative and assassin within the organisation Sparrow. Blitzfire immediately noticed Warren on one of her previous missions a few years back which Warren revealed that he was on a mission to recover an AI chip to install into a robot named Shriek which was currently being powered and made by Josef Gruber who was also a member of Sparrow, Holly was still very suspicious of Warren but was more concerned about what he was talking about which annoyed both her and Jade who questioned Milton about Sparrow which he revealed that he was investigating them after uncovering some encrypted files from the former president of Switzerland after he was captured and imprisoned for conspiracy. Jade would then proceed to stand against Milton after finding this out now knowing that he was hiding things from them which clearly proved that both her and Holly could not be trusted and proceeded to head to her quarters for the time being, at this time also Holly would proceed to leave after feeling betrayed to go and visit her retired father leaving Warren and Norah to be the only people left in the room with Milton. Despite the large fragmentation within this new group Milton would ask Norah to go and speak to Jade whilst he went to go and speak to Holly however Warren would stop him stating that he would go and speak to her, Norah would speak to Jade in which she revealed to her that her company had originally planned to sell weapons to the US government which would advance their military power for years before she assumed control of the organisation and whilst this was kept from her she would stake her own life on truly believing that Milton was a good person who just hid one too many secrets.

Having convinced Jade both her and Norah would return to Milton but Holly and Warren would not yet be back which forced Milton to act with the forces he had at present and so he would proceed to brief both Norah and Jade on the robot named Shriek alongside Josef Gruber, due to Warren's own research into Sparrow he figured that he was able to deduce Gruber's laboratory location to two places with one place being near the city of Cairo in Egypt and the other being in Rome in Italy but since he only had Jade and Norah he would send them to Cairo assuming that would be the location. Both The Sentinel and Orothos would make their way to Egypt where they were hoping to find Gruber's laboratory however they would find it being protected by some Sparrow forces and the Iron Fighter which Jade would note that he looks as if he has had an upgrade on his gear and outfit in response to Norah's question of "Whose the jumped up ninja?", the two would immediately launch a surprise attack on the forces easily wiping out the Sparrow soldiers before facing the Iron Fighter who Jade questioned on him now being a hired gun for Sparrow. He would simply laugh at Jade's question telling her that he never worked for the president of Switzerland but instead was always working for Sparrow and only gave the former president up to save the rest of his organisation and employers, after this conversation Jade would engage in a one on one fight with the Iron Fighter who since their last fight had learned much about her fighting techniques and was able to fend a lot of it off but eventually she was able to get a swift hit from her huge arm however this would not affect him as it had done before realising that his outfit was upgraded to be more durable allowing him to resist harder punches and hits. As the two fighters continued their confrontation Norah took the opportunity to access Gruber's laboratory to see what she could gage from his experiments and any other data about Sparrow or Shriek, upon snooping she would come across the experimental drug that was injected partially to the Iron Fighter which explained his new strength and size but would also uncover the plan to multiply Shriek on a large scale having an army of them to enforce Sparrow's plans of world domination which became their backup plan should taking control of the UN fail. Having deleted all of his files Norah would leave to help Jade using her light powers to help best the Iron Fighter who had not seen this power yet and was caught off guard allowing Norah to blow the lab up and leave him behind, upon their return both Jade and Norah would see Milton speaking to Warren and Holly who had just returned from the second location in Rome. Warren went on to explain that they were ambushed by one of Sparrow's other assassins named Caliber of whom he knew and had trained with, they had recovered the AI chip that housed the AI Shriek however they would to come to find out from Caliber before he escaped that the chip was useless now as the data had been copied a thousand times over which matched up with Norah's discovery of creating an army of the deadly robot. Norah proceeded to interject after the group could not come up with any answers as to when and where the AI was going to launch its army from stating that she had recovered all of the encrypted files from Gruber's lab and that might have the location on when and where, after numerous hours of searching and cracking files Norah would uncover that the target was Chicago on the following day being the same day that the US president was in the city making a speech.

The group now knowing where and when this was happening would suit up and set off to Chicago with Milton taking control over the security force that protected the president during his speech whilst Norah and the others searched for large spikes in electricity readings throughout the city, during the president's speech all four members of the Enigmas would begin their search for Gruber who Norah deduced that despite replicating the data to make thousands of Shriek he would still need to be close by using a central computer for them to function. Due to the city being so big it would not be so easy and very time consuming trying to track down the scientist which only gave him more time to program the robots which he would indeed do, during the speech mass amounts of Shriek robots would begin emerging around the city causing chaos and destruction which prompted the Enigmas to go and stop them. The Sentinel would begin organising them by having Blitzfire focus on air reconnaissance to comb over the city and help the police and national guard help the civilians get to safety whilst she and The Warden focused on destroying as many robots as they could giving Norah the job of tracking down Gruber using her own ingenuity, with the plan set in motion the Battle of Chicago would commence and for the first time the first four would unite together each having a vital role in winning the battle. Norah would utilise Blitzfire's suit to do an air recon over the entire city to find any large sources of electrical currents which may indicate where the central computer controlling the robots would be, this plan would work and Norah would be able to locate the building that Gruber was using as the hub for the robots from and began to head there to stop him. Norah with the help of Blitzfire would be airlifted to the building where she would then come face to face with Electrode now with his portable pack on his back and electricity coursing through his suit he was able to go toe to toe with her, in the conflict Gruber would successfully charge at Norah taking both her and him out of the building back onto the street level where Jade would quickly come to her aid utilising her large retractable arms to combat with Gruber large stature and electrical suit. The two would throw large slug sized punches at each other meanwhile Norah was figuring out how to get back up to the building which she would begin using her inner power to start creating small climbable platforms made of pure light for the first time ever, whilst scaling her platforms Norah would be continuously attacked by numerous robots until she was nearly knocked off her top platform until The Warden would flip over Norah using his sword to slice it in half. Norah would proceed to make it back to the central computer and began working on the shutdown order whilst Jade continued to distract Gruber, after a small amount of time trying to crack the central computer and trying to shut it down Norah was not able to do this and so instead had no choice but to overload the computer which would still lead to the robots being destroyed. Whilst overloading the computer with data it would rapidly begin exploding which Norah did not predict and lead her to jump from the building as the explosion occurred but she would be saved by Blitzfire who swiftly flew in and dropped her to a safe distance, the fight between Jade and Gruber lead to Jade getting the upper hand after Warren was able to cut the power to Gruber's suit off and left him incapacitated. Having saved the president the Enigmas would now become a globally known group of heroes that had saved America and the world from the group known as Sparrow which was now being branded as a terrorist organisation destroying their legitimate claims to be a certified PMC and security service, after the congratulations and medals that were bestowed upon the group they each went their own way promising to return when needed with Norah going back to her company but now working closely with the US government on the helping of rebuilding of Chicago city.

## Power and Abilities

### Powers

* **Light Technology**: After Jerrard triggered the prototype self sustaining light battery to kill Norah's mother with Norah in the room she would by a sheer miracle survive this attack and in the process gain glowing light powers resembling that of the sun, these powers would first only allow Norah to fire out small light blasts towards her targets but whilst she remained out of San Francisco with her friends she would hone her power and was able to conjure more than just blasts such as barriers and later beams of light. Having used new tech long sleeve gloves Norah is now able to channel her power through her gloves giving her more control and accuracy when using her power.

### Abilities

* **Tech Genius**: During her time before joining Apollo Norah went to university to study engineering much to her mother's disapproval and this would only add to her amazing knowledge of technology and inventive creativity on making new things from nothing, since becoming the CEO of the company she has gone on to make self sustaining large batteries of light technology allowing for more eco-friendly power to fuel the United States. Alongside making improvements to help the planet Norah has used her wealth and ingenuity to construct long sleeve gloves which act as conductors for her own powers giving herself the ability to have more control over it.
