Nicholas was a police detective in Athens when he was shot multiple times by Greek anarchists during a raid. His GorWol trait saved him and after recovering in the hospital he discovered his powers. He kept them secret and retired under a disability pension. He then started moonlighting as a masked vigilante until Beacon found him. Nicholas decided to become an ISF reserve member so he could stay in his native Greece. Beacon fashioned his armor and power lance. Kataphraktos is a Biokinetic and Electrokinetic. He has increased strength in the 20 ton range, he can fly (200 mph), heals three times faster than normal humans and is resistant to many forms of damage (although not as resistant to negative energy damage and elemental damage). His Obdurium alloy armor increase his durability to attacks and he has an Obdurium alloy shield as well. Kataphraktos can discharge electric bolts from his hands although he needs a specialized conductor to make them powerful. His Power Lance is made of fused Obdurium metals and allows him to project his electric bolts at a distance. He is swifter and has faster reflexes than most Olympic athletes. Kataphraktos is a former police detective and has good investigative skills. He is also a student of modern Pankration. He speaks English, Greek and Turkish.

Mystik is the ISFs resident spellcaster and magical subject matter expert. He is from Wales and speaks Welsh in addition to Latin, Sumerian and the Fey tongue. His father was a Welsh bookeeper and his mother was a banished Fey sorceress from the Other Realm thus making Mystik half human. Mystik is also the only ISF member without a GorWol trait, all his abilities are magical in nature. He has mastered the four elemental forces (air, earth, fire, water) and is considered by the Fey to be an elemental mage. He uses elemental magic to capture targets, generate ice/air/earth/fire/water blasts, and create specific elemental shields. He can control and conjure eldritch energy to make shields, blasts, shape constructs, become invisible/intangible, fly and teleport. His staff is from the Other Realm and helps him channel his magical power. Rhidwen is skilled in thaumatology, arcanology, astronomy, and alchemy. He works as a book shopkeeper. He is skilled in fighting with the staff and has some unarmed combat skills. Given enough time and resources Mystik can create a spell capable of any power or feat. He is the closest thing Gilgamesh has to a friend since they can speak Sumerian when they are together.
Gilgamesh claims to be the famed hero from the Epic Poem, but that would be impossible as that would make him over 4,000 years old. His last known memory after waking up from his self imposed dormancy was attacking Constantinople as a Jannisary under the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II. While it was reported in history the Sultans cannon knocked holes in the walls of the city, in actuality it was Gilgamesh who toppled sections of the walls with his fists. During the sacking of the city Gilgamesh left disgusted and sealed himself up in a cave in the mountains of Anatolia until Archaeologists uncovered his resting place. In any case Gilgamesh is a powerful biokinetic. He has enhanced strength, durability, reflexes, speed and healing. He is the strongest person on the Earth and can lift 50 tons. He is a powerful Ergokinetic and can also project force beams from his hands and energy beams from his eyes. His Ergokinesis allows him flight up to 300 mph. His skin is durable and can withstand most physical attacks although he is susceptible to magic and mental attacks. He looks down upon ordinary humans and considers himself their champion mostly because they are too weak to defend themselves. He takes a personal interest in any metahuman who claims to be tougher or stronger than him.

Eduardo Luzon was a horrible Peruvian soldier just making ends met living paycheck to paycheck when his unit was sent to the jungle part of Peru to fight the resurgent Shining Path. During the dreary months that followed it was determined that the Shining Path were being supported and funded by Dr. Dimento and his Dark Cabal. During a particularly nasty firefight Eduardo fled from the battlefield and was cornered by some insurgents. As they shot at him, he put his hands up and his GorWol trait manifested. He created a gravitational forcefield around himself which stopped the bullets. He subdued his attackers, went back to the battlefield to save the remainder of his unit and saw ISF Team ALPHA fighting members of the Dark Cabal. Helping the ISF drive off the Dark Cabal, Eduardo went back to their headquarters to become a new member. After serving some time on the reserve team he joined the new ISF Team DELTA as their control specialist. Gravenger is a gravikinetic; he can control the gravitational forces around an object. He can surround any object or person including himself with gravitons and anti-gravitons thereby increasing or decreasing the Earth’s pull of gravity upon it.

She fought them off with the assistance of Power Stryke who was sent to recruit her. After the attack she joined the ISF under the name Astra Deva and is a member of ISF Team CHARLIE. Astra Deva is a biokinetic and neruokinetic. She can project an energy from her body that can weaken and even disintegrate inorganic materials or burn organic materials. She also uses her psionic powers to heal herself and others in a limited capacity. It is believed that her neurokinetic powers actually speed up the time around an object to allow for healing. If that is the case she may possess more chronokinetic powers in the future. She has psionic energy wings which provide her with flight at 200 mph.

His father was killed by a rival tribal family and when Desmond and his brother went to speak to the murderers they were attacked. Desmond and is brother were both shot and fled into the jungle. Being pursued and then cornered Desmond’s GorWol trait activated and he transformed into a powerful body with insect wings. Desmond fought and killed their attackers and then carried his brother home. His brother remarked that Desmond looked and fought like one of the vicious ants that plague the countryside. A few months after this incident Desmond was recruited by Power Stryke to join the ISF taking the name Army Ant. During his training phase Desmond accompanied Lord Psyker on his quest to investigate the rumors of Dr. Dimento’s return. Currently Desmond is a member of ISF Team CHARLIE and is good friends with Kharaman. Army Ant is a biokinetic and has super strength in the 25 ton range, has a hardened outer carapace which provides a limited degree of protection when transformed, can jump higher than a normal human, heals five times faster than a normal human and has powerful double insect wings that provide flight up to 200 mph.
Taras Taraschenko, nicknamed Klodi, was a natural biologist studying Northern European wildlife in the Ukraine when she came upon smugglers. She was chased and shot and she fell into Lake Synevir. Left for dead Klodi’s GorWol trait manifested and she was dragged by beavers from the bottom of the lake to a beaver damn to heal. When she finally awoke she found herself empathic to certain animals, understanding their needs and wants as well as understanding their emotions and even connecting with them. She also has morphogenetic powers, whereas she can mimic animal characteristics. She can mimic the natural traits and abilities of mammals and avians. She can fly like a bird but does not grow wings, she can swim like an otter but does not grow webbed feet. If she is in constant contact with an animals pelt then she can mimic their powers for a longer duration than if she just absorbs their traits. She wears items from a brown bear (for strength), a grey wolf (for endurance), a mountain hare (for speed), a flying squirrel (for dexterity), an owl (for flight) and a snow leopard (for senses). Lord Psyker helped her get revenge upon the smugglers and then recruited her onto his ISF team.
Kharaman woke up after an explosion in a remote part of eastern Afghanistan. He was the only survivor of an apparent ANA SF vs Taliban firefight in the mountains. He has no memory of what occurred but he was wearing an Afghan Special Forces uniform with the name Massoud on it. He stayed in the mountain area using his great strength to assist the lives of the simple farmers and herders. They gave him the name Kharaman (Champion). Lord Psyker heard about Kharaman and recruited him into the ISF as part of his new team after his return. Kharaman became the muscle of ISF Team CHARLIE. Kharaman is a Biokinetic and has super strength (in the 30 ton range), limited invulnerability. He is also a minor Ergokinetic but has so far only demonstrated projecting energy blasts from his hands and using the energy for flight. ISF scientists believe Kharaman is still developing his GorWol trait and will become stronger.
