### **Description**

Laertes Whatmore, known by his heroic alias "The Pusher," is a prominent pro hero based in the UK. He is the founder and leader of the hero agency called The Pushers, dedicated to advocating for freedom and uncovering crucial information to bring down the notorious organization known as BASE. With a strong resolve to combat injustice and protect society, Laertes has become a symbol of resistance against the oppressive forces that threaten the safety and well-being of individuals.

Laertes has a personal history intertwined with the dark workings of BASE. He witnessed firsthand the corrupt actions and manipulations of the organization, which led to his determination to drive BASE out of the UK. His heroic efforts and unwavering dedication played a vital role in exposing the true nature of BASE and raising awareness about their malevolent operations.

An important figure in Laertes' life is his mother, Katrina Whatmore, who possesses a powerful quirk and shares his disdain for BASE. Together, they have navigated the treacherous landscape of heroism, seeking justice and redemption. Laertes' deep-rooted mistrust of authority and organizations like BASE has shaped his unwavering commitment to dismantling them and protecting those affected by their schemes.

During his adolescence, Laertes had a significant encounter with the legendary hero All Might, along with his partner Andrew Lanes. They met All Might just as they were about to obtain their pro-hero licenses. All Might's encouragement and admiration for their aspirations further solidified their resolve to become heroes. In that moment, Laertes showcased his own energy-based quirk, demonstrating his potential as a formidable hero. Drew, on the other hand, displayed his unique weapon-based quirk.

However, Laertes' journey took a tragic turn when he discovered that both he and Drew possessed the Snap and Break quirks. Drew's immense power, coupled with his reality-warping abilities, became too overwhelming, and he had to be subdued for the safety of others. In their final interaction, unbeknownst to Laertes, Drew utilized his secret quirk, Respawn, which allowed him to return to life later.

Due to the devastating effects of Drew's quirk on his mental state, his current condition is kept confidential. However, despite the limitations he faces, Drew still contributes to the operations of The Pushers in his own unique way, offering his expertise and knowledge to the cause.
Laertes, once a carefree and opportunistic individual, underwent a significant transformation after a pivotal event involving his powers. This event marked a turning point in his life, leaving him emotionally distant and more focused on his mission to bring justice to BASE and protect those vulnerable to their influence.

Additionally, Laertes has taken on the responsibility of caring for Jariel Vance, an individual who was both a victim and an experiment of BASE. Jariel possesses extraordinary powers, making them a target for those who seek to exploit or control their abilities. As a mentor and guardian, Laertes guides Jariel through their journey, providing support and helping them navigate the challenges associated with their unique circumstances.

Laertes Whatmore, as The Pusher, stands as a beacon of hope, fighting against the injustices perpetrated by BASE and striving to create a world where individuals can live freely and without fear. His determination, coupled with his personal experiences and the support of his allies, fuels his relentless pursuit of truth, justice, and a brighter future for all.
