The Sovereign

The Sovereign is the leader of "The League Of Sin"

### Powers

The Sovereign has the ability to control causality within a short radius of himself. Allowing events to happen before the events that would cause them. For an "effect" to happen, The Sovereign must be close to the element he wishes to effect, and the "cause" must be achievable within a time frame estimated to be a month.

The Sovereign has committed feats such as:

* killing with a touch (effect), then shooting the body long after its death (Cause)
* destroying a building (effect), then exploding the site after it has been abandoned (Cause)
* Speeding up the creation of technology by simply creating the technology (effect), and then having it be built later on in time (cause)

The limits of the power are seemingly infinite, and yet the Sovereign remains a relatively tame threat, despite his power and status, he has no need for needless conflict (see personality) this makes him a relatively "safe" villain to have on the streets

### History

As he has "secret identity" and instead works full time as the head of the league, The Sovereign's origins are an open secret. He was born in England in the spring of 1985, and later emigrated to America during 1998, he had no criminal record prior to him gaining his abilities, but it is unknown if this was due to him not committing crimes, or not getting caught.

Once he did receive his powers in 2005, he was able to steal with almost no consequence, originally he worked as a bank robber, once that always left a calling card at the scene, but was never caught due to his powers. Eventually, The members of the November Team were able to apprehend him after one of their members, Calico, discovered that there was always an extra policeman arriving to the scene of the crime, going to the safe and leaving without investigating. After his final solo heist in 2006, November team attacked The Sovereign whilst he was disguised as a policeman, Star Sentinel being the one to capture him and send him to the Matryoshka Institution

The Sovereign was imprisoned in Matryoshka for 5 years, but was released for good behaviour.

Unknown to the guards at Matryoshka and the superhero community as a whole, The Sovereign used the time to better understand his abilities, to gain connections, and to become the man you likely know him as today

The day he left in October 2011, The Sovereign was immediately able to break from his parole, and used his connections formed inside prison to work for several powered mafia, not much is known of the Sovereign from this era, him mostly being used as a tool for more successful supervillains, but in 2013, he formed his own group, The League of Sin.

### Personality

were it not for the fact he was the head of the most powerful supervillain crime group in the world, most would describe the Sovereign as delightful, he is polite, thoughtful, listens to his underlings and has a presence most find endearing. Despite his evil acts in the past, The Sovereign has done nothing to make us believe this is an act. His personability has been the most important factor in the creation of his empire, allowing him to create allies wherever he goes, with Villains both well established and brand new.

He has a strong sense of honour that heroes and villains can use alike to manipulate him, he will not betray allies, he will attempt to save even the smallest members of his organization and he will always attempt to avoid civilian casualty. However, this honour only goes skin deep, as he will often align himself with those of more questionable moral fibre to increase his power, do not let this fool you, the man in dangerous, he has killed many good people, friends of mine, and will kill again, much like any devil, he keeps a kind face.
