## Physical and Personality Description

He has blonde hair and blue eyes. Once the embodiment of handsome charm, his appearance has been marred. The searing burns left by a malfunctioning Vector Suit have transformed his visage, lending a rugged and weathered quality to his once-pristine features. These scars are not just physical; they are a constant reminder of the trials he has endured, an external manifestation of his inner battles. Despite these scars, Ethan carries himself with an air of self-assured confidence, a testament to his unwavering belief in his own abilities. His eyes, reflect his keen intellect and a hint of smoldering determination. His physicality, though altered, remains an emblem of his resilience and his relentless pursuit of his ambitions.

Vanity courses through Ethan's veins like a compelling undercurrent, a trait that once made him the object of admiration before his fateful transformation. Before his disfigurement, he was the very embodiment of charisma, basking in the spotlight that his handsome features naturally commanded. His vanity, however, is not merely skin-deep; it is a reflection of his deeply rooted desire for recognition and power. The scars left behind by his past motivate him to seize control over his destiny, no matter the cost. This thirst for control has shaped Ethan into an impeccable planner and a patient plotter. He doesn't merely rush into action; he meticulously orchestrates each step, considering every conceivable outcome. His decisions are driven by a calculated analysis of risks and rewards, an attribute that has made him a formidable strategist. With a mind that thrives on complexity, Ethan is often several steps ahead of his adversaries, manipulating the very chessboard of fate to his advantage. Yet, beneath the veneer of cunning, Ethan harbors a genuine brilliance. As the CEO of Vicform, he is not merely an astute businessman; he is also a visionary inventor. His innovative thinking has led to the creation of groundbreaking technologies that have reshaped industries and elevated his company to new heights. Yet his inventions have always some fault, as seen in his Vector suit.

## History

His beginnings were far from privileged. Fearing the potential exploitation of his son, the Penguin cast Ethan into the unforgiving streets of Gotham, a trial by fire that forced him to forge his own destiny.

Endowed with a natural tenacity and the instinctual cunning of a survivor, Ethan embarked on a relentless ascent through Gotham's stratified social strata. The very same criminal ruthlessness that had propelled him to endure the streets now propelled him toward the upper echelons of Gotham's elite. Unbeknownst to him, the machinations of the Court of Owls lurked in the shadows, weaving their intricate web around Ethan's life. Their enigmatic designs guided him, as they sought to recruit him into their clandestine ranks, viewing him as a pawn in their grand scheme.

### Year 1

Rigorous physical training in the year following his debut enables him to stand toe-to-toe with even the formidable Hawkgirl. Yet, the very technology that grants him his prowess exacts a toll on his physical form. A catastrophic malfunction of his Vector Suit leaves his face marred by searing electrical burns, and metal pieces melted in his skin.

### Year 2

Despite his costumed exploits, Ethan seeks to sever his ties with his shadowed past, retreating from the limelight to resurface as the enigmatic Calculator. He still is very much the CEO of Vicform and one of his employees, Daffney Dane, becomes his biggest nemesis in the form of Doll Girl. As the Calculator, he operates in the shadows, wielding information as his most potent weapon.

He clashes with the Birds of Prey to get a hold of Doll Girl and extract the serum that runs through her veins.
