She is on a search for her sibblings, now that the world has been ruled by villians, she wants to bring them back to Canada and play 'happy family'.

Name: Wilhelm Haukelt

Nickname: Wraith

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Nationality: German

Appearance: White-skinned with a pale complexion. 5' 8", short black hair, bright green eyes, several scars on his left upper arm.

Costume: Black "special operations" suit, sans the nightvision goggles, the threads of the material appearing more clear-coloured than normal.

Non-/Super-human abilities: On-command invisibility. However, it's limitations involve that he cannot go invisible without adrenaline pumping through him, he can't hide blood dripping from his own wounds, and his invisibility is greatly reduced in daylight. He is STILL able to hide in the day, but he still shimmers if he's a few metres away.

Personality: Passionate and friendly, yet two-faced beneath the surface. Mildly sadistic, and just as much masochistic. He is generally lacking morals due to his origin.

Bio: Born and raised to the age of 16 in the city of Frankfurt in Germany. At a young age, he grew to be incredibly fascinated by the effects and intricacies of a knife, be it a steak knife or butter knife. He had started to wonder at the age of 6 if the meat cleaver has the same effect on a slab of meat as it did with his own arm. He slit his upper arm with the meat cleaver, watching the blood ooze out with naive curiosity. Over time, he kept 'testing' different knives he came across, slowly finding that he looked forward to it, testing them each on the same part of his arm up until the age of 17 when his family moved down to America.

His habit continued until the age of 18, when he was abducted by the same organization that Frost was sold to, the abductors posing as Asylum workers coming to take the masochistic child away. He was tested on to be another super soldier, nicknamed "Project: Wraith". He was intended to be a nigh unstoppable soldier in the dark of night, but escaped the facility the same day as the snow storm.

The doctors had been more conservative with his memories, only blanking them out up until the day he was taken from his family. In his confusion, he found himself wandering the streets of Gotham City, where he resides now.
