Bio:
Hank was born in England, his father an archeology professor at Oxford, and his mother a Bantu refuge. His father met his mother while on research in South Africa, and helped her escape the Apartheid state instituted in 1948. They fell in love, and married.

Since an early age, he showed a lot of interest in his father's work and his extensive travels. The two would often discuss the history of mankind, and the next step of society. As he grew older, he also began to discuss the apartheid of his mother's home country with his father, and the human nature of oppressing those different from yourself. Sometime during his teenage years, he developed his powers. Not one to hide things from his parents, he revealed what he could do. His father theorized that perhaps it was a form of sixth sense, and urged him to practice, as the skill could be useful.

Sometime when he was 18, both his parents were killed while on an expedition. Left as the sole heir of his father's somewhat vast fortune, he enrolled himself in Oxford, and thanks in part to his father's contacts, was not given much grief over his ethnicity. During his time as an archeology student, he met Samuel, and the two became good friends. The two begin their vision of one day forming a team to help others like them.

When he was done with his studies, he moved to DC, and acquiring a job at the Smithsonian, thanks to Samuel's contacts within the institute. He spent the rest of the 70s traveling the world and acquired a great love for travel.

Some time later, he met Fawkes for the first time through Samuel. While he disagree largely with Fawkes more aggressive methods, he still became his close friend. The three formed the First Class.
Samuel then decided to turn on his friends after an event details of which are unknown. Fawkes and Hank lead the First Class in defeated Samuel, and then went on their seperate ways.

Eventually he retired to live in New York. Soon, Fawkes and Yamairo asked for his help, and the 3 reformed the group that Samuel had attempted to create in their youth. He helped Yamairo track down many people and the two came to share a close friendship, with Hank serving as Yamairo's mentor of sorts.

Eventually, he was tracked down by Zulan, a mutant with the power to steal abilities. He finally faced his death, without fear or regret. His death is something Yamairo has never forgive Zulan for.
