Event Horizon

*My name is Event Horizon. It's a fancy word for Point of No Return. They call me that because there are nasty people in this world who don't give a rat's ass about anyone else and will screw everyone they meet over at a moment's notice, or even kill them. But, there is a line. A line that once you cross it you can never go back. Mercy won't be shown to those who cross that line. By the time nasty people meet me, chances are they've already crossed that line. Usually, I award people like that with a trip straight to hell. When I find that Pestilence, though, I'm gonna pin him down and make him suffer for what he did. He'll beg for mercy, of course; his kind always do. But I'm going to have to apologize to his sorry little sulfuric ass, because I haven't got any mercy left. Not for him.*

Raymond Crux, known more commonly as Event Horizon, is a male Esper and a major character in the action/comedy series Team Season With Superpsion. He is introduced in the novel Team Season: Revelation at Camp Recluse, and owing to his falsified rude and abrasive behavior, he serves as a minor antagonist for the first part of the novel. However, he later reveals his true colors and joins Team Season in the fight against evil, after which point he becomes the tritagonist of the series, a position previously held by Valentine Masterson.

Event Horizon appears in the series only once during the original webcomic before his official debut. When Peter Minella scans the evilization signal of a Meta-Villain named The Blinker in order to locate Lord Lochindorb's secret base, he experiences a vision of blurred memories, one of which involves an interaction between Event Horizon and Brother Pestilence, although Peter does not yet know who Event Horizon is. Later, after meeting Event Horizon, Peter says that he recognizes him as the strange boy from his vision.

Unlike Superpsion, who is kind, caring, helpful and considerate, Event Horizon is cold, blunt, insensitive, rude, and borderline sociopathic when he is first introduced. This causes most who meet him to immediately dislike him, including most of the Season Siblings. Equinox Season, however, is hopelessly smitten and immediately begins to lust after him. Unlike most boys Equinox shows interest in, however, Event Horizon sees her affections as an annoying obstacle rather than a stroke of good luck, and is repulsed by her track record. Knowing that Equinox only seeks to hook up with him so she can add his name to her list of ex-lovers, he ignores and evades her advances, even openly shunning her in public. As Equinox has masochistic tendencies, however, Event Horizon's rejections only make her desire him even more, so that when Event Horizon attempts to dissuade Equinox from pursuing him, he only serves to aggravate the problem.

Eventually, Raymond Crux is revealed to be more like Superpsion in terms of disposition. He reveals that he is from New York and that parents died six months previously in the Second Great Fire of New York. This fire, he explains, was a devastating blaze started by the demon Brother Pestilence that destroyed half the city and killed hundreds of people, his parents included. However, Crux is the only person who knows that the fire was intentional and no one else believed him, claiming that the fire was started by a gas explosion. Knowing no one besides himself would realize the fire was deliberate arson or bother to take action, Crux decided to take matters into his own hands, adopting the Event Horizon persona. He has been hunting and seeking vengeance against Pestilence ever since and his almost sociopathic previous personality was a ruse that he used to distance people from him so that he could protect them from getting mixed up in the whole affair. Crux then aids Team Season in converting the rowdy and unruly campers of Camp Recluse into an organized militia to fight against Brother Pestilence's Camp Crusher Crew and their Horde. He later fights alongside Team Season in the Battle of Kielder Forest.
