### Relatives

Christian Kelly (father, estranged)Karley Kelly (half-sister, not estranged enough)Helen Kelly (paternal Grandmother)

## History

Kolby is the illegitimate son of Christian "Hot Shot" Kelly. He and his father are estranged while he and his sister Karly are somewhat antagonistic. She has tried to trend #Failblazer while he has retaliated with #Liarcracker, the rift is unlikely to de-escalate.

### Warmer in the Winter

Kolby appeared ruining Karly's Date with Nash by setting off smoke alarms, when he fled from the Unstable Elements he distracted the team long enough to escape the market and use his full speed to out run Kid Olympus. He resurfaced on the ski slopes, knocking Megaton over while she was skiing for apparently no reason. It wasn't until he used his heat aura to melt the snow of the avalanche that the group got his name: Trailblazer. He subsequently fled the scene when the media arrived, however in the ensuing paparazzi cluster Karly announced his identity in a confrontation with her father.

### The Last Piece

Trailblazer came to assist the group when Nash was being pursued for stealing the Scarab. His social media savvy allowed him to create a "flash mob" of sorts to block The Spartan from catching his target and he was later able to provide his speed as a support to get Roswell to a tech-point to hack the connections on the trains and keep tabs on the city's premiere hero in the underground.
