**Aiden Colt Masseau** (Mass-Saw) is the youngest remaining Masseau and the younger brother of Roland Masseau. He has come into the city of New York in search of his brother and to support the fight against the Kings, having left West Point to do so. In the end, Aiden hopes to have New York return to how it was before the Kings crisis.

Unlike Roland, Aiden's ability was gained from the effects of the Spellplague and is relatively new. As a result, Aiden has difficulty controlling it or even accessing it. Aiden has named his ability "**Muzzle Discipline**".

## Appearance

Like his brother, Aiden is tall, muscular, with well defined features. While not exactly the same build as his brother, a strong resemblance between the two can be seen. His hair is shaggy and dark brown. He has a vertical downwards scar on the left side of his neck that is rather noticeable. His eyes are a dark shade of blue.

He doesn't have many tattoos or scars to speak of save for the one on his neck and a tattoo of lady justice on his back in a similar manner to how Roland has Columbia tattooed on his back. He also has a tattoo across his left arm that reads "Et Non Fallum", which means "I won't miss" in English.

His attire usually consists of clothes he would usually wear when adventuring the forests and valleys that surrounds the Masseau estate. With that said, he can usually be found wearing a dark brown, furred leather bomber jacket, jeans, and boots. He generally keeps several satchels and bags on him as he travels.

## Personality

Like Roland, Aiden is almost obnoxiously stubborn and will fist fight someone if he thinks it'll lead to things going the way he believes is correct. This attribute has been with him since he was a child, and often landed him in trouble with school staff and then eventually the law. However, he will respect people's choices and opinions if he sees the logic behind it.

Aiden holds the belief that he **must** live up to his family's name, and that it is his duty as the youngest one in the family to do so. This belief has pressured Aiden since he was young enough to grasp the effect his family has had on American history since the Civil War. He also feels as if he is overshadowed by his siblings, and fully intends to somehow surpass them when he is able.

Aiden himself is a lighthearted young man with a good sense of humor, often tending to crack jokes when he can and oddly finding just about anything hilarious.

## Powers and Abilities

### Muzzle Discipline

##### The Three Aspects

A relatively new ability born from inactive S-Genes in Aiden's DNA that became active as a result of the Spellplague event, Muzzle Discipline allows Aiden to do three specific things (aspects, as Aiden calls them), but the most important one would be the first aspect, which allows Aiden to mark any one in his field of vision as a **High Value Target**. Those nearby said HVT will feel the extraordinarily powerful urge to commit to three objectives Aiden is allowed to give: Kill, Capture, or Flee. The severity of the reactions given by those around the HVT are determined by how in tune Aiden is to Muzzle Discipline and also his emotions regarding the target. The nature of this ability has earned Aiden a nickname from his brother: "The Coordinate". Aiden does not have complete control of this ability as of yet and is prone to accidentally marking individuals, but is skilled enough to undo it.

The second aspect of Muzzle Discipline is that it enhances Aiden's eyes by a substantial amount depending on a level system akin to Manifest Destiny, but rather than fifty states there are instead four "lenses". Each lens grants Aiden an ocular advantage, and as Aiden surpasses the second lens, physical advantages. Aiden can barely reach the first lens, currently, and each lens plays a part in the effectiveness of the first aspect.

1. **First Lens** - Aiden can now focus in and out of specific locations with his eyes similar to how one would use binoculars.
2. **Second Lens** - Aiden's vision can now detect whether or not a person is a Super, and help him determine other specifics about an individual.
3. **Third Lens** - Aiden can now switch between thermal and normal vision, and vitals are now automatically highlighted. His natural senses are boosted and he is insanely accurate.
4. **Fourth Lens** - Aiden can now determine bullet and projectile trajectories - his or his opponents - and use that to ricochet bullets off of surfaces in an accurate manner. His natural senses are boosted once more.

The third aspect is arguably the one Aiden has the most experience in due to it's simplicity and thus is so far the only one he will actually use. The third aspect allows Aiden to store directional force in a given object. The strength of the force added to the object is made evident by how many sigils appear in front of the object force is being applied to. Once Aiden allows the force to react to the object, said object will react accordingly to the force applied and fly in the direction in which Aiden specifies (he specifies it by tapping opposite of where he wants it to fly). This aspect allows Aiden to amplify the force of bullets and also allows him to launch things as projectiles when bullets are not available.
