Aric (True Heroes)

"Centuries ago, me and my people were enslaved by a corrupt empire. I fought alongside my legendary uncle, Alaric, in a never-ending battle against the cruel oppressors. I did not know, however, that I'd become... immortal. And to this day, I will NEVER stop fighting for freedom! Even if I'm supposed to protect the world that I loathed, with YOU threatening its very existence!"

Living over a thousand year, the man known as "Aric" would see the world forcibly change as time passes. Discovering the still-unidentified alien armor the same day he was about to be executed, Aric decided to lead his people into a brighter future with his armor, but time is merciless, and Aric continued on his own, nevertheless. Allegedly a relative to Alaric I, Aric has been known as one of the first enhanced individuals to emerge in the 21st century. Several witnesses however, claimed to have seen Aric before the dawn of this century. His activities are considered to be "rogue", and several nations classify him as an anarchist and an enemy to them. Most notably Russia, which condemns his attempts of re-establishing his hereditary kingdom. We have considerations of having him as our enhanced field agent, but his longing nature of insubordination makes us difficult to convince him. However, out of all the "heroes" that emerged in this century, he seems to be the sanest of them.
