*"This is a message to all of the people of Neo Arcadia. My name is Axel Trevor, you don’t know who I am, but I know who you are. I know each and everyone of you. You can’t hide, you have nowhere to run, because I will find you all. I will send hundreds of people searching for you, to attack, to hurt, to kill you, and when the dust settles, there will be no more heroes to save you."*
—Axel Trevor
**Axel Trevor** is a man with a mysterious past who led a guild of assassins, known for training the Smog City vigilante Argonaut.

After several years of torture and training, Kaz fled his Organization. For years Axel had a great need to murder Kaz. Not too long later he met a man by the name of Dr. Barton who wanted to make him superhuman. After experimenting on him this gave Axel enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, and agility.

For the next few years Axel sent many people to search for Kaz, though they all failed to take him down. A few years later, Axel found out Kaz was on a team, the Arcadian Rebels. With that he began to plan an attack until Kaz quit the team so Axel decided to kill him. After a fight Kaz gained the high ground and took Axel to prison, though Axel escaped a few months later and this time had a plan.

## Biography

### Early Life

Axel Hugh Trevor born on June 15, 1971, in an island with his mother Selina and her close friend Ricardo. Alexander’s father, Connor Trevor disappeared a few days prior to his birth so he never knew him. Selina and Ricardo were taking a trip to Japan, though their plane crashed on a deserted island. They lived there for about 5 years living with barely any food. During those 5 years, Selina died of sickness and Ricardo had to take care of Axel for the next few years until a plane came to their area and found them and took them back home to Smog City.

Soon Ricardo adopted Axel when they came back home to Smog City.

#### Dark State and Training

At one point, Ricardo went into a depression and a dark state of his life and took the anger and depression out on Axel which brought his self-esteem down. During this time, Axel was bullied for not having real parents and being adopted which brought down his self-esteem even more.

For a period of time, Axel always wondered who his father was until in 1985, he found out that his father died in a car crash. This sent Axel in a dark state and he hated himself, though he hated the world even more and when he graduated high school he decided to train himself so that one day he can go hunt down and murder all of the people who brought pain to him. He met this man who was only referred to as “Killer” and would train with him for years in his Organization which was at the top of a very snowy mountain

This training was incredibly brutal and intense. Some days Axel would almost die after a training session with “Killer.” After nearly 10 years, Axel was fully trained and with that, he made a plan.

#### The List

Axel had a list for years about who he would kill and take down when his training was complete. The first person he set out to kill was Ricardo.

When he made it home he found Ricardo at a bar talking with friends. Immediately, Axel charged in by kicking the door straight open almost breaking the door off and began attacking everyone. He soon was able to take them down until Ricardo was the only one left standing. He then stabbed him through the head and left his lifeless body in the front of a road in the middle of the street.

Axel then searched for the people who bullied him in middle school and high school. He killed them as well. He slowly began hunting down each and every person who brought pain to him and killed them brutally.

### Head of the Organization

#### Killing a Killer

In the year 2000, Axel out of a fit of rage challenged “Killer” to a duel after arguing about the future of the Organization. He agreed and Axel emerged victoriously. Over the next few years, he began recruiting people all over the globe to join him.

#### Searching for Kaz Becker

In 2008, Axel found this old book about the many people who once were apart of the Organization. One man, in particular, caught his attention. His name was Richard Becker. He sought out to find anyone related to him. He soon found a man named Kaz Becker.

One day Axel attacked his mother's house believing Kaz lived there and killed his mother, Leslie West. Axel soon realized what he did and left leaving her corpse on the floor.

#### Training Kaz Becker

A day later Axel messaged Kaz to come to a certain location. He did so and took Kaz to the mountain where the Organization was. There they trained for 3 years until Kaz could defeat him. Axel saw something in Kaz that he never saw in any of his other “students”. Darkness, sadness, and pain just like him.

#### Betrayal

Behind his back, Kaz was planning to escape the Organization with his friend Eli Chase. Once Axel found out about this he immediately killed everyone Kaz gathered up including Eli until Kaz in a fit of rage attacked Axel so he could make his escape.

#### Serum

In the year 2012, Axel began gaining an extreme need to kill Kaz. He soon met with a man named Dr. Barton a scientist working on a serum that could make people “superhuman”. Dr. Barton contacted Axel to see if he wanted to be his first test subject. He agreed and went to Dr. Barton’s lab. There he tested the serum out on Axel by putting him in this odd unbreakable machinery. Once Axel stepped in he was injected with the serum which was extremely painful. When the experiment ended Axel stepped out being much stronger. Dr. Barton believed the experiment failed and told Axel to step back in the machine until Axel grabbed Dr. Barton by the head and threw him to the floor snapping his neck.

Axel began attacking and killing each and every one of the scientists and doctors inside Dr. Barton's lab brutally. The experiment enhanced Trevor’s strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, and agility making him much stronger than he was before.

#### The Teleporting Terrorist

Axel was present in Center City when the Particle Accelerator exploded which gave him the ability to teleport from one location to another, though he didn't realize this until a few weeks later.

#### Mind Controlling

Axel soon developed a serious brain malfunction which required a great deal of treatment. He spent a year of his life going through seemingly never-ending tests alongside extremely painful treatments, including spinal fluid extractions. Though he didn't notice it at first, after all this he had the ability to mind control others. He completely kept this hidden from everyone he knew and used this ability wisely knowing that the outcome would not be what he pleased.

#### Planning Once More

When he got back to the Organization, Axel began planning out his mission to kill Kaz. He recruited men like Han Lee, Jefferson Merlyn, Nathaniel Crane, Alexander Ramon, and a group called “The Tribe”. For years Axel sent them out to kill Kaz and they all failed.

Years later Axel found out Kaz was apart of a team in Neo Arcadia who called themselves the Arcadian Rebels. Axel spied and researched each and every one of them. Axel soon decided to devise a plan to attack the Rebels.

#### Fight With Kaz

One night in 2018, Axel found out Kaz quit the Rebels to live with his wife Jane Manning. Axel completely threw out the idea of taking down the Rebels and decided to kill Kaz. The fight took place in Kaz's old apartment, though Kaz emerged victoriously and took him to prison.

#### The Rise of Orcus

One night, Axel devised a plan to escape the prison alongside many other prisoners. After an incredibly brutal fight, Axel and the prisoners escaped the prison. Soon, Axel took up the codename Orcus.

### Attacking the Rebels

#### Bombing

In May of 2018, when the superhero Shadow Boy was announcing a message to Neo Arcadia, Axel was watching him along with a few members of the Rebels such as Jason Kade, Brian Henshaw, and Clark Flat, though they didn't notice him.

Once Shadow Boy finished and the cameras turned off Axel made his appearance. Jason instantly knew who Axel was once he announced his name. After a few minutes, Axel revealed he knew each and every one of them. Axel pulled out a remote and pressed a button blowing up three buildings then he disappeared. Shortly after this Axel figured the Rebels would want to find some of his men who bombed the three buildings so he readied a few of his men and didn't inform his other men who planted the bombs.

#### Shooting

The Rebels went in disguises to see if they could get any information on one of Axel's men at a bar just as how he planned. When the Rebels were talking to Ryan, one of Axel's men who planted the bomb, Axel shot him through the head before he could give any information on a rooftop. He then commanded his men to fire down as he dashed inside the bar knowing one of the Rebels would want to put the civilians inside to protect them. He was right and when Brian brought the civilians inside Axel instantly began to fire at them all killing them, once they were all dead, he made his escape.

#### Kidnapping Kaz

A few days later, Axel kidnapped Kaz and tortured him.

#### Killing a Gun Dealer

For the past few weeks, Axel had been working with a gun dealer whose name was never revealed to him. One day, the gun dealer was approached by the Rebels. He was asked multiple questions because of him having a history working with Axel. He was very vague and didn't give away much though he did give away how he looked, tall man, brown hair, short on the sides and long on the top. After a few more minutes the Rebels left, though they didn't know Axel was watching them.

Axel approached his gun dealer stating that he was proud he didn't give away much information though he couldn't let him live. Axel then quickly dashed to him and stabbed him through the stomach. With that, his men began walking in and taking all of his weapons. Before leaving, Axel poured a bottle of kerosene on his gun dealer as he lay on the floor and threw a lighter on him burning him to death.

#### Disguising as a Cop

*"Fools, I'm always five steps ahead of you. Maybe even ten."*
—Axel Trevor to the Arcadian Rebels
A day later, Axel was recruited by the Neo Arcadia Police Department, as Clint Johnson. No one had ever seen Axel's face nor do the Rebels have proof or evidence that "Clint" is the masked terrorist Orcus.

He approached Jason Kade while he had a few visitors at his cell because during this time he was still imprisoned. Brian Henshaw quickly realized that Axel was disguised as a cop. Along with Clark Flat, Brian began questioning Axel and why he was disguised as a cop. Axel first hacked into the cameras and then quickly teleported near Clark and stabbed him in the back, though before leaving he announced that he is always five steps ahead of them, and maybe even ten.

#### Fighting the Rebels

While the Rebels were interrogating one of Axel's men at the police station, Axel showed up, turned off the lights, and threw a smoke bomb, and began slicing at everyone with his sword.

He first stabbed Clark, then jumped down to Brian Henshaw and began rapidly teleporting around him until he was able to slice his hands off. Finally, he went up to Jason Kade who had escaped his cell and was disguised. They fought for a few minutes until Axel gained the upper hand and wrapped his arm around Jason's neck and hovered the sword over it as well. Jason then was able to knock Axel off. Shortly after this, he announced to them that he had Kaz by showing a picture of a saber-tooth tiger, which was Kaz's symbol. With that Axel quickly teleported away leaving the Rebels.

#### Mind Controlling Kaz

Shortly after this, Axel brought Kaz to the rooftop of an apartment building with one of his best men. The Rebels appeared to retrieve Kaz, though they were occupied by one of Axel's men. Axel then threw Kaz off until one of the Rebels' friends caught him and took him to the parlor.

Axel then began to fight Brian Henshaw who came charging at him in a fit of rage, though Axel being much more skilled in combat was able to take him down. Axel walked up to the building and snapped his fingers causing the building to blow up and he teleported away.

Axel then went to the pizza parlor and found the Rebels fighting Kaz. When they took him down, Axel pulled out his sword and began to fight the Rebels in a brutal fight until he was able to take them down. Once they were down, Axel grabbed Kaz and took him away.

#### The Fourth Bombing

Shortly after the Rebels left the parlor and began to figure out how to retrieve Kaz, Axel sent another message to the entirety of Neo Arcadia stating that they will all fall. After this message, Axel blew up the pizza parlor causing dozens of people to die.

#### Disfigured Appearance

Axel was packing his bags from his old Organization base to his new underwater base. He left Kaz in charge of his men. Axel quickly received a notification that the Arcadian Rebels were at the base. Axel quickly announced to them to leave the base and go to a certain location.

When Axel teleported back to his underwater base, the Rebels were there ready to take Kaz away who was unconscious at this time. He noticed that one of his men, Harrison was helping them. Feeling betrayed, Axel teleported to him and held a knife near his neck. Brian Henshaw quickly blasted Axel's hand away from Harrison to give him the chance to run. He did so though Axel pulled out a pistol and shot Harrison. Brian quickly took Harrison out of the base. In a fit of rage, Brian flew to Axel and threw him into a barrel filled with chemicals disfiguring his face. Axel began laughing psychotically until he disappeared leaving his base to explode. Though knowing that the Rebels most likely survived he began to plan his next move.

#### Attacking the Funeral

The next day, Axel ordered his men to shoot up Rory Becker's funeral. After a few minutes, he revealed himself and began fighting the Rebels. Soon enough more members of the Rebels appeared. He was fighting the likes of Jason Kade, Brian Henshaw, Clark Flat, Lance White, Cody Nakamura, and many more. Soon enough Axel gained the upper hand and was able to teleport away, though not before commanding his men to attack houses and apartments.

#### New Age

*"Some people call this a war. I prefer the term a new age."*
—Axel Trevor
The following day, Axel sent a video to the entirety of Neo Arcadia stating that his attacks are a "new age". In this live video, Axel had a man at gunpoint threatening the entire city that if nobody called in to save the man he would be shot. About five people called in shortly after and one of them was Jason Kade. Axel quickly shot the man and began to call the city worthless and that they shouldn't save an "animal" like the man. Shortly after Axel finished filming the video more people began to call in

#### Caleb Bots

Shortly after this, Axel kidnapped KJ and Jane, Kaz's wife. He tortured Jane for the week he had her and began controlling KJ to build him an army of cybernetic robots to attack the city.

#### Attack on Neo Arcadia

Not too long later, Axel sent a message to the entirety of Neo Arcadia stating that he has a nuclear bomb ready to be set on the city. If the bomb was to be detonated, the radiation would be able to destroy more than half of the city. The Rebels quickly began planning and found his new base on the top of a mountain. They quickly were able to disarm the bomb and at the same time rescue their fellow friend, Kaz Becker who was being held captive. During this time Axel was commanding his men to attack Neo Arcadia, which they did. When he returned to his base, as he predicted, the Rebels were there, and they all began attacking him.

Axel quickly made his escape, though before he left he hinted that he has Jane Manning, Kaz's wife captured.

## Personality

*"Some choose to let go of grudges; I'm not that type of person. I'm a man of my word."*
—Axel Trevor to Han Amari
Axel has a very dark past abeing tortured by "Killer", he's become a very traumatized person. Being born on a deserted island, witnessing his motnd her's death, nearly dying of hunger, learning about his father's fate, and nearly dying in the Organization extremely changed him.

Axel doesn't like to waste his time-fighting someone if it's for no reason at all, whenever he would train his men, it would never be randomly. Axel would usually challenge his men, no the other way around.

Axel does have a soft side, though the trauma he is filled with takes over all of that and makes it non-existent. Whenever he is fighting someone or people such as Kaz Becker or the Arcadian Rebels, he tries to carefully plan out strategies. Even though he is a villain, he tries not to be an "annoying" person. He carefully listens to people to see if he can find any information on anyone he is interested in. He does his fair amount of research such as researching each and everyone of the Rebels such as Jason Kade, Brian Henshaw, Clark Flat, Autumn Stone, and many more.

## Physical Appearance

Axel is a Caucasian man in his mid 40's with a very athletic build and with a height of 6'5". He has brown hair short on the sides and long on the top combed over to his right side, though a bit of gray can be seen. Like the other members of the Organization, he has a burned tattoo on his shoulder that has a gray skull and a gray x. In the middle of May 2018, Axel's face became disfigured by the hands of Brian Henshaw after being thrown into a barrel of chemicals.

His main outfits usually consist of dark clothing, though he mainly wears a black trench coat with black jeans. He also wears black boots. For his suit, he wears a dark gray mask covering his entire face except his eyes, along with a black helmet. He also wears a black bullet proof suit. He also has a bracer with three spikes coming out from the ends with a wrist computer in the front of his left bracer.
