Black Harrier

CHILDHOOD

Born to a mixed-race couple, John Mokoena did not an easy life during the apartheid. He was a science professor at Cape Town University for many years, until his marriage to Rosalia, a young Namibian woman. This brought even more hatred and scorn from his colleagues. He soon resigned from the university.

A year later John was shot and killed at an anti-apartheid rally. His son, Josiah, was four years old. His daughter, Beth, was one.

Rosalia took comfort in her son's apparent genius. The discovery that Josiah was a child prodigy came at the right time. With two children and no job to speak of, Rosalia found that Josiah's aptitude for science and technology drew a lot of attention from many corporate financiers, including a quickly growing venture known as Advanced Research Group Enterprises. With their help, Rosalia found their troubles disappearing.

Josiah was soon enrolled in a private school in Johannesburg. It once was reserved only for the wealthy and white, but the ARGENT influence placed Josiah on an academic fast track. This created an atmosphere of hate and resentment with his fellow students; an experience his father similarly faced years earlier. Alone and secluded, Josiah found solace in his creations and imagination, and with his mother's love.

During a field trip for the school's brightest students, Josiah and his family fell victim to a rebel attack. His mother and sister were killed in the explosion. Josiah was one of three survivors. ARGENT responded and took care of Josiah.

The following years were full of intense study and research. His ARGENT benefactors watched as Josiah graduated from the University of Cape Town and then M.I.T. to become an expert in nanobiomechanics, genetic engineering virology, and nanolepton fields.

ARGENT was pleased.

INTEREST IN ALL THINGS SMALL

Josiah began his interest with all things small with ants. He marveled at how one small insect, in great quantities, could have such an impact on the environment.

When he discovered atoms and their use in nuclear weapons, he fascination grew. He consumed everything he could about the building blocks of all matter and their interaction with one another.

At the age of fourteen, Josiah made a breakthrough in bio-molecular science that stunned the scientific community. He designed a virus that could power pacemakers or artificial limbs.

Then with the help of his friend, Charles Roth, a microbiologist, he revolutionized medical science with the first nanobot designed to repair human flesh.

ARGENT

The super-science center of ARGENT were thrilled with Josiah's advances. They took his work and used it to their advantage. Josiah didn't mind. He saw it as repayment for all the good they did. Until another student, an expert hacker named Naledi Bello, revealed that ARGENT was not only responsible for his father's death, but for the deaths of his mother and sister. He was living a lie.

Josiah, along with a few other students, wiped their files, work, and identities from ARGENT systems and disappeared. Josiah found this very hard to do as his fame was to public.

In response, he took possession of his father's fortune and moved to the United States.

SOUTH AFRICA

ARGENT provided it's wards with training beyond their academic responsibilities. It provided martial arts and weapons training as well. In the guise of self defense and game hunting, of course.

Josiah love the exercise and enjoyed the time spent outside. It kept him in perspective and allowed him to remain at peace. However once his mother and sister were killed, he took to the training with a renewed fervor. But his motivations were not peaceful, nor defensive.

MILLENNIUM CITY

Once he move to the United States, Josiah sought out ARGENT labs. Millennium City hosted a huge ARGENT presence and he knew that he could do the most damage to them their.

With so many costumed villains and heroes around, Josiah felt his cause and his action would be easy to keep hidden. Josiah took the identity of a bird from his home. The black harrier was a common sight and it's plumage would be the perfect basis of his new identity. He used his knowledge and training to create the technology he'd use on his mission. But it wasn't until the intervention of another hero of the night, that solidified his current appearance.
