'''Alex Harper is SPARROWHAWK, one of the world's most deadly combatants as well as a master in a multitude of skill sets. She was born to Alan Harper, a high ranking official of UNTIL who also was secretly involved with a shadowy organization known as the Apotheosis Project. Its purpose was to design and create superior human stock as a result of genetic engineering in order to rid the world of super human influence. Gifted with exceptional physical abilities, a mind that could recall things flawlessly as well as a talent for learning things quickly and effortlessly, Alex spent her childhood training under foremost experts in various fields of study. By adulthood Alex was poised to take a role in UNTIL, her father grooming her to eventually join his subversive cause. Alan's abduction by ARGENT changed this path and caused Alex to assume the guise of a masked hero in order to rescue him from their clutches. Alex remained a costumed crime fighter and chose to work beside the very heroes she unknowingly was raised to eliminate. After learning of the true reasons behind her birth, Alex denounced her father and had a direct hand in crippling the Apotheosis Project. Traveling the globe both as a solo operative as well as the leader of the Protectors of the World, Sparrowhawk wages war on injustice with unwavering perseverence.'''

Alan Harper, one of UNTIL's most decorated and top field agents, led a double life. He was one of many who had a role in the '''Apotheosis Project''', a worldwide coalition designed to rid the world of super powered individuals and their influence over world affairs. To that end, Alan and nine other prominent families were selected in 1988 for a very special purpose within the organization. Each man's wife, unaware of both the affairs of the Apotheosis Project and each other, were falsely told they could not bear children without in vitro fertilization and complied. These ten embryos were taken and enhanced via positive genetic engineering then implanted all on the same day. Its purpose was to create offspring that were purely human in a technical sense while showcasing the actualized full potential that humanity was capable of.  Nine months later, all on January second, the women gave birth in various locales across the United States to healthy and 'perfect' children. Tragedy struck when Alan's wife Daphne suffered complications during the childbirth and died. Alan, nearly inconsolable, realized at least he still had his child and the promise of a new world before him. Naming his newborn '''Alexandra''', meaning 'Defender of Man', Alan joined with his nine colleagues in setting out to raise an exceptional child with even more than exceptional abilities.

While most young girls had dolls and stuffed animals, Alex's days were filled with gun ranges, martial arts lessons and forensics studies. While most would be broken physically and mentally by this, Alex strove to live up to her father's very strict and domineering expectations. Alex exceeded her father's wildest dreams as she readily soaked up everything she was presented with. Alan realized quickly that her talents surpassed that of the other children which were born into the Apotheosis Project. She displayed uncanny physical and mental abilities that were far beyond the norm. Ready to begin her second phase of training, Alan called several contacts by way of his years with UNTIL. He started calling in favors... it was time for her training to get serious.

Much of Alex's life growing up was spent primarily traveling about the world. Her father Alan would always refer to these typically two to three month periods spent in one location as 'vacations'. A 'vacation' in Thailand where she studied Silat Patani. Another 'vacation' in Guatemala learning about munitions and explosives. Yet another 'vacation' spent in Australia learning about various poisons and their effects on the human body. Three full years were spent at the ancient and mysterious Yengtao Temple, home of some of the worlds greatest martial artists where she mastered esoteric forms of combat. Alex was undaunted in her pursuit to be the best at whatever she put her mind to. Perhaps it was a desire to earn her father's love, or perhaps it was just her perfectionist attitude... either way, Alex learned a great deal about a great number of things.  

At the young age of nineteen and with college behind her, Alex secured a position within UNTIL as a junior agent and finally fulfilled her father's dream of having her follow in his footsteps. As in her youth, Alex displayed a strong need to prove her worth and excel in any task she was presented with. With relative ease due to this drive she assumed a place within UNTIL as a full agent. With the vast array of skills at her disposal due to her intensive training growing up, Alex found herself working as an operative for UNTIL often as a covert operations specialist. She found this quite fulfilling as she once again was being taken all across the world and facing off against all kinds of challenges. In her off time she found herself learning more skills to add to her considerable pool of expertise from whatever location she was stationed at.

Alex chose to approach her good friend and UNTIL contracted agent and inventor, Simon Reynolds, for help. Simon gathered for her a number of items that she would need to undertake a personal mission. These devices included a flight disk, a pair of prototype bio electrical battle batons, a force field projector and several other devices he had been working on. The only thing that Alex still required to pull this off successfully was anonymity. It was a necessary measure in order to create a disguise to hide her affiliation with UNTIL as one of its agents. Taking inspiration from the colorfully named heroes that she sometimes worked alongside who had affiliations with UNTIL, Alex decided upon the nom de guerre '''Sparrowhawk'''. Staging a rescue at what was believed by most an abandoned ARGENT facility, Sparrowhawk successfully saved her father and delivered a severe beating to the perpetrators. Returning to UNTIL she was troubled by the events of her father's kidnapping. Alex realized was able to accomplish much more being slightly outside the law than constrained by it. In addition, the rush of battle was exhilarating in a way that her UNTIL missions had never fully been to her. Realizing that much more good could come from her maintaining this new identity she decided to continue as Sparrowhawk.

Alex left UNTIL shortly after her decision to carry on as Sparrowhawk, much to her father's ire and displeasure. She felt that her second life as a costumed crime fighter interfered with her ability to devote herself fully to her job as an agent. Using money she had gained from her time with UNTIL and already having secured a lucrative amount of funds, Alex relocated to Millennium City to start a new phase in her life. Using her formidable intellect and intuition she had already invested in a number of companies since college and was able to live well within more than comfortable means. In just a short while with single minded dedication Alex was able to turn this around tenfold. It was not long before she went from merely 'comfortable' to 'extremely well off' financially, enabling her to then promote all of her energies into pursuing crime as a masked hero. This allowed her the time, money and focus to upgrade the items Simon Reynolds had given her as well as work on entirely new inventions to add to her arsenal.

[[File:Afterlaughspar2.jpg|490px|right| <font color=#00000>Sparrowhawk in 2013, watching Millennium City from above.</font>| thumbnail]]

During her early adventures Sparrowhawk crossed paths with a group known as the '''Silver Age Sentinels''', and it was through them she established a relationship with the agency known as '''GLOBE'''. Working with GLOBE allowed her to function much in the same capacity as she did with UNTIL, though it gave her the freedom of operating independently as well. It was during this time she crossed paths with and fought villains such as '''Valak the Undying''' and the technological genius and madman known as '''M.E.K.K.A.'''. Her other duties were more mundane, acting as a liaison between GLOBE and both the Sentinels and their more youthful counterparts the '''Young Sentinels'''. After a few months of working closely with them, Sparrowhawk wished for other venues to explore to broaden her abilities and do more for a greater cause. Sparrowhawk did not feel challenged in the role she was given and that her own skills were not being utilized to their fullest. After an incident involving the Sentinels, GLOBE and the unofficial gathering of heroes known as the '''Circle of Justice''', Alex struck out on her own, determined to make more of a difference.  

Sparrowhawk found herself quickly assuming a more proactive presence worldwide, taking missions both abroad as well as within her home of Millennium City. This placed her squarely within the super heroic community. Often this was a source of consternation and annoyance for her as she quickly realized how many heroes, though registered with PRIMUS, were without decent training or skills to aid them properly. Over time, however, she did meet others who she thought were capable in their crime fighting endeavors, at last making allies. Sparrowhawk grew close to Agent Nate Carter, United States agent known as '''All-Star''', as well as a smattering of other heroes, such as '''Dobergirl''', '''Doll''' and '''Zelara''', the Laser Knight. She later joined a group called '''Rising Force''' at the urging of All-Star, though its run was admittedly short and ended before it even really began. As it folded, Alex realized that there was still a need for such a team and her abilities gave her an edge in coordinating such an effort. Thus a large step towards her personal goals of effectively tackling crime globally came from her formation of the '''Protectors of the World'''. This was an UNTIL- affiliated organization of super heroes who joined together to battle numerous threats no one hero could face. In it she recruited what she felt were the 'best of the best' of those whose paths had crossed hers since her career began, and the team earned a solid status as peacekeepers and global heroes. During this time Sparrowhawk continued to venture around the world on her own, independently battling numerous threats with her abilities and continuing to build upon her reputation as an international premiere heroine.

When Alex Harper turned twenty five, the Apotheosis Project was at last ready for action. They felt it was time for their children, willing or not, to join them removing all super human presence upon Earth. The Project was prepared to wage an all out assault on those who maintained super powers and as such decided to finally call their gifted children home to assist them. The Apotheosis Project's first order of business was to jump start the latent DNA enhanced talents of their children above and beyond the already incredible traits they each displayed. Some of the children were aware for years of the organization's cause and readily agreed to partake. Others, like Sparrowhawk, were not... and thus force was used as well as a neural implant that controlled their actions. Abducted, brutalized and implanted with a mind not her own, Sparrowhawk spoke out against heroes with superhuman traits as a fledgeling heroine called '''Virago''' in public addresses. She was also forced to turn on her allies in the Protectors, wounding several of them gravely while kidnapping Dobergirl for testing of a 'gene bomb' designed to kill those with aberrant DNA which was not human. Though herself a prisoner to the Apotheosis Project, she was eventually able to shake free of their mental control. Freeing Dobergirl and other heroes brought to a facility in South America, Sparrowhawk also retrieved information pertaining to the groups overall plan. While escaping, Sparrowhawk was almost killed from both the neural device implanted in her trying to wrest control mentally as well as a severe beating from another child of the Apotheosis Project who called himself '''Cassowary'''. Sparrowhawk fortunately recovered after being rescued by the Protectors and was later saved by the hero known as '''Mad Dog''' when an assassin attempted to kill her while in the hospital. Sparrowhawk managed to rejoin her team just in time to lead a strike force to deactivate gene bombs which were planted underneath Millennium City. They were successful, as failure would have resulted in the bombs wiping out and killing most of the super heroes who were locked in a battle with the villain '''Leviathan'''. The events of this plot to discredit and kill meta humans as well as the ascension of the genetically enhanced children of the Apotheosis Project is widely known as '''The Eugenics War'''.

By the time the war was over, Millennium City was in shambles, the Protectors were fragmented and Sparrowhawk was viewed by many in the super heroic community as a traitor for her perceived actions under mind control. To add insult to injury, her partner, All-Star, falsely believing Sparrowhawk was working against the Protectors, began an affair with the team's PR liaison, Ada Clover... all while Alex was under the thrall of the Apotheosis Project. Though Sparrowhawk had issues with their relationship, it was nevertheless a blow to her emotionally. She realized that not even the person closest to her understood who she really was, though some of the blame fell on Alex herself for maintaining a life full of secrets. Sparrowhawk took a short leave of absence from the team to concentrate on taking down the remnants of her father's organization and reassess her life. The next few months were dedicated solely to toppling the Apotheosis Project and gathering intel on them wherever she could.

It took that time away for Alex to realize she had turned away from the only family she had only really known, that of the Protectors, and she needed to confront her issues head on. Returning to Millennium City, Sparrowhawk upgraded her weapons, her costume and her gear for a new approach on crime. Her new arsenal was not the only thing Alex returned with, either. Though she suffered horrors from her time with the Apotheosis Project, one benefit was discovered. With the untapped potential of her latent DNA being unveiled, Sparrowhawk realized was now smarter, quicker and stronger than before... her prowess unmatched by human standards. She was more than happy to reap these benefits to the cause of justice. She returned to the Protectors taking her place again as leader, prepared to once more tackle the worst menaces this world has seen.

Alex Harper would be described by many as a strikingly attractive woman who appears to be in her early to mid twenties. Her build is noticeably toned from intensive exercise but not overly so. She stands 5'8" and weighs around 140 pounds. An air of confidence exudes in the way she walks, talks, carries and composes herself which can be at times intimidating to others. Her blonde hair is currently worn in a spiky pixie cut of sorts, framing her face. Alex speaks with a somewhat deep, smoky voice and sometimes pauses in her speech to reflect on what she is saying. The clothes she wears are generally in the latest trends, appearing to pay a good deal of attention to current fashion. Rarely is she seen in very casual wear and prefers wearing heels to sneakers or blouses and skirts to tee shirts and jeans.

As Sparrowhawk, Alex alternates between two uniforms. Currently she utilizes a primarily black, skin tight light body armored suit with large, stylized blue plating on the chest front. A black belt sits low upon her waist, mostly carrying numerous pouches that house gadgets and weaponry for which she uses to fight crime. Two padded shoulder protectors adorn her upper body to offer protection. Sparrowhawk wears two tight metallic black gauntlets that have a soft blue light illumination to them at certain points. A black half face mask protects her identity that has a blue eyepiece over it. White lenses on the mask obscure her actual eyes. Secured about her right leg a pouch is strapped about that contains even more crime fighting devices. When her gauntlets are activated, two intensely azure hued energy batons are formed in each of her hands that act like escrima sticks.

[[File:AlexHarperdressedtokill.jpg|420px|left|thumb|<font color=#00000>Alex Harper, Sparrowhawk, unmasked and dressed to kill.</font>]]

There are two very different sides to Alex Harper, Sparrowhawk.

Alex Harper comes across as a very insightful, well-spoken, perceptive and pleasant young woman to those who meet her. Often she can be found multi tasking and it is not uncommon for others to notice her learning a new language, exercising and dealing with her business ventures all at once. Some mistakenly believe that she is distracted when speaking to her due to the numerous things she handles at once. Alex comes across as proper and polite to a fault and carries herself as one would who might have attended a finishing school. When speaking to others she often pauses mid sentence as if to reflect on what she is going to saying. Alex enjoys joking with peers, engaging with a very sarcastic and cynical dry wit. Alex generally can more often than not come across as somewhat aloof and unapproachable which has garnered her a reputation of sorts as an 'ice queen'. A slight smile will from time to time escape her lips however that can put most people at ease almost immediately. Alex is very aware of her physical beauty and has no qualms about using this to her advantage in social situations. While not engaging in flirtations actively she has no shortage of male admirers.

When in action as Sparrowhawk, Alex's demeanor goes through a definite change. She becomes aggressive and authoritative, often taking charge in situations. Sparrowhawk is very goal oriented and has a no nonsense approach to overcoming obstacles and leading others. Her focus becomes almost obsessive and anything that disrupts it will be dealt with quickly and efficiently. Her early years in the super heroic community earned her some well deserved ire as she readily demeaned and belittled peers who were not up to her standards or way of thinking. Thankfully, this perception has lessened over time and Sparrowhawk has seen the value of others contributions, especially now that she leads her own team. This is not to say she has developed the patience of a saint, as eye rolling is still a frequent habit that she employs when dealing with things that bother her. Sparrowhawk is extremely confident in her abilities almost to the point of arrogance, especially in combat. While engaged in melee, Sparrowhawk takes satisfaction in mocking her opponents as they fight, partially because it rattles them but also because she finds it extremely amusing. Alex Harper respects the law, although she also realizes that sometimes certain rules must be bent or broken to achieve a victory. This ideology has put her at odds with others, including some team mates, from time to time. While she values the sanctity of human life, and feels heroes should not kill, Sparrowhawk herself also believes that sometimes the greater good means that a life must be taken when left with no other options. Sparrowhawk's greatest issue is dealing with is the concept of losing, which she takes always takes very personally.

Sparrowhawk is the product of human genetic engineering to garner very specific traits alongside years of intense training. While she does not register as technically super powered, she is considered someone who would be considered the epitome of human physical and mental achievement. Her talents include:

* '''Genius Level IQ/ Advanced Learning Ability/ Polymath''': Sparrowhawk is gifted with a genius IQ that rivals some of the most intelligent humans on Earth. She is an expert in a plethora of skills that she has continued to expand upon since childhood. Her wide array of talents are the result of her ability to learn at an accelerated rate, mastering things in a fraction of the time others would normally be able to. What may take years of training or research for a normal person she can learn in a month or two, provided she has the time to solely dedicate herself to it. This has provided her with a well-rounded skill set few others can boast.

* '''Hyperthymestic Memory''': Sparrowhawk was born with hyperthymesia, a medical condition which allows an individual complete autobiographical memory. While those with eidetic or photographic memory often have to study something, use mnemonic tools, or even forget certain things as years go by, Alex has complete recall of her entire personal history. She can recite even the most trivial details from any part of her life, starting from shortly after her third birthday. This ability, compounded with her intelligence and quick learning, gives her the ability to take in, process and retain a great deal of information.  

[[File:SparrowvsNinjaRobot22.jpg|490px|right]]

* '''Physical Attributes''': Alex's strength and dexterity are at a level of functioning that exceeds even the most well trained regular human without actually being defined as superhuman. Her improved musculature allows her to bench press six times her weight, around eight hundred and fifty pounds, unaided. She possesses the ability to run close to forty miles a hour, clear a running jump of forty five feet and a high jump of around fifteen feet. In a non pure oxygen aided environment, Sparrowhawk can hold her breath for up to 20 minutes (and around 40 minutes with oxygen beforehand). With a body and mind which work in tandem, Sparrowhawk displays instantaneous reaction time. Her mental chronometry is greater than any normal human which grants her a form of low level super speed in her actions. Bullets can be dodged at point blank range or she can strike an opponent several times before their brains even can process a singular reaction. The incredible level of agility and durability she has combined with years of combat training allow her to withstand blows from much stronger opponents and continue to fight. Her heightened endurance allows her to fend off natural toxins that impair the body from fatigue and stress. Sparrowhawk's immune system is enhanced, allowing her to fend off most diseases, illnesses or things that impair the body such as drugs. While not as fancy or as powerful as true super human regeneration, wounds heal about three times as fast as a normal persons will; for example, a broken bone can heal in roughly two weeks instead of six. All of Alex's senses have been improved greatly. It has been stated that she will have a much longer life expectancy than an average woman provided she doesn't get herself killed before then.

* '''Combat Abilities''': Sparrowhawk's extensive knowledge in martial arts would most likely place her on a shortlist as one of the world's deadliest hand to hand combatants. Where a person can spend years mastering just one form of unarmed combat, Sparrowhawk's very unique talent at learning things quickly and flawlessly has enabled her to tackle many. Utilizing her batons, Sparrowhawk specializes in using Eskrima, Silambam, Bokator, Adi Murai, Kobudo and Kalaripayattu in combat. She has mastered and integrated numerous other forms into her fighting style as well, including Karate, Wing Chun, Krav Maga, Systema, Muay Thai, Jeet Kun Do, Jiu-Jitsu, Keysi, Shippalgi, Silat, Aikido and more. Sparrowhawk's abilities go even further, having knowledge of such esoteric techniques like Marma Adi/ Varma Kalai and Dim Mak. By understanding prana points and how to suppress and block the flow of chi in others, Sparrowhawk can incapacitate, disable or kill by simple touch. Such an ability is even effective against those who would be deemed 'invulnerable' by powers such as super dense skin, often allowing her the upper hand to defeat what would be considered much more powerful foes. With this intimate knowledge of a body's vital points she is also by the same means able to heal certain afflictions or wounds. Her years of training have enabled her to be proficient in a vast array of weaponry, both standard and esoteric. A former Soviet spetsnaz agent trained her in a dual wield style of gun combat which she often employs.

* '''Chi Abilities''': Sparrowhawk has learned to control and manipulate her body's chi, enabling her other abilities. By concentrating she is able to further enhance her dexterity, speed or physical strength in bursts to (low) superhuman levels. She can actually punch or kick through metal when in a focused state. Her running speed can reach up to 70 mph for a few seconds. Attacks can be dealt in rapid succession faster than the human eye can take in. Sparrowhawk's chi passively provides her with a functioning 'sixth sense'. This talent allows her to fight unaided in darkness, detect those who are invisible, or even sense incoming opponents using teleportation in her immediate proximity. Things from the spirit plane can at times be observed. By having control over her body, Sparrowhawk can maintain her body temperature in very hot or cold environments for extended lengths of time. Poisons in her system can be slowed in her bloodstream and she can survive without food or drink for extended periods of time if in meditation.

* '''Combat Assessment/ Reading Body Language''': Sparrowhawk has the ability to size up opponents, plan out the battle in completely in her head and execute a proper attack with frightening accuracy within seconds given that she has seen her opponent fight before. She also has the ability to 'read' subtle clues in a person's body in a fight, allowing her to both attack and defend against foes, even those possessing heightened reflexes. It is incredibly difficult for others to actually lay a hand on her. Sparrowhawk has mastered using her perceptive abilities to discover weak points in targets. This often 'levels the playing field' against combatants who severely outclass her, allowing her the chance to gain an upper hand. On more than one occasion she has been underestimated only to come out on top.

* '''Skill Sets''': Sparrowhawk has received training from individuals who are foremost experts, specialists and even super heroes in many fields of study who have been associated with UNTIL. Alex is an accomplished detective and spy. A few of her other talents include: survivalist, disguise artist, medic, escape artist, pilot, driver, historian, computer expert and is well versed in numerous fields of science. She is trained at both hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis and can actually implant post hypnotic suggestions in others' minds. Sparrowhawk continues to work at expanding her repertoire of skills in addition to her crime fighting pursuits.  

* '''Expert Tactician''': Sparrowhawk's incredibly sharp and focused mind as well as an unerring eye for detail lends itself to make her an amazing tactical leader. Aided by her keen perceptive abilities, she can process scenes quickly and coordinate multiple strategies in combat on the spot. It is in these times that Sparrowhawk keeps a cool, level head, aiding not only her but her team mates in getting through high stress situations.

* '''Telepathic Resistance''': Telepaths and those with psionic abilities will have a difficult challenge attempting to breach her mental defenses. She has spent time with experts in such subjects on how to best prevent and avoid mental attacks, not to mention she has an amazing amount of willpower.

* '''Poison Resistance''': Sparrowhawk is practiced at mithridatism. Over several years of limited exposure she has built up tolerance to some types of poison. Certain types of venomous animals and naturally found poisons either have only a limited effect or in fact no effect upon her body, as she has developed immunity to them.

* '''Hyperpolyglot''': Sparrowhawk displays an uncanny knack for speaking several languages. She is fluent in French, Italian, German, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Mandarin and Hindi as well as being proficient in American Sign Language. Sparrowhawk can also speak a few other languages conversationally.

Sparrowhawk carries a number of hi tech devices in her war on crime. Some were culled from UNTIL's science division, a few were invented by her friend Simon Reynolds and some were even created by Alex herself. Alex has taken it upon herself however to learn how to create and repair these devices on her own should something happen to them. Much of Alex's own personal financial resources go into maintaining these items to assist in fighting crime. Her arsenal includes (but is not limited to):

* '''Combat Suit'''. Sparrowhawk's light armored uniformed was originally designed by Simon Reynolds and has been subsequently upgraded over time by Alex Harper herself. Her most recent costume is a skin tight bodysuit composed of a base material she created dubbed 'Spidersilk'. This semi-stretchy, artificially created polymer thread essentially replicates real spider's silk tensility and properties and is five times as durable as Kevlar armor. The suit's sleekness and innate light weight allows her maximized mobility on the field and in combat. The suit is further fortified by a coating known as Trilovex, a liquid armor also devised by her. Unlike standard Kevlar armor, the Trilovex liquid armor coating provides significant protection against slashing weapons such as swords and knives. Trilovex also assists in the dispersal of force from impact, so it does a far better job preventing bruising, internal organs being hurt or bones breaking during attacks than standard Kevlar armor. It is fire resistant and provides some protection against electricity and electrical energy. It can slightly adjust to account for warmer or colder temperatures, though not in extremes. The last protective measure on the outfit is thin Kendrium Carbide plating across several areas of the bodysuit (such as the knees, shins, upper chest and shoulders) for added defense. The combat uniform can withstand a grenade at close contact or even standard armor piercing bullets. There is a slick coating on most of the uniform that makes being held or grappled in close quarters combat difficult. A system of nanotech has been installed that aids in repair of the uniform should it become damaged. The mask piece is outfitted with goggles that can filter light in a flashbang attack as well as provide the ability to view things telescopically, at night or in different spectrums. The goggles also connect to the Mother AI system (see '''Mother, Mark 2''', below) and can regulate others body systems and heartbeat, in essence functioning as a medical scanner or even lie detector when interrogating others. The uniform houses an electrical charge as well which can be deployed through voice activation that covers a ten foot area.

* '''Gauntlets'''. Sparrowhawk's uniform has two gauntlets which aid her in a number of ways. The gauntlets themselves are partially composed of a Questionite alloy that Sparrowhawk has managed to procure, even with the limited resources available to most. In addition to being utilized potentially in a defensive manner, the gauntlets release photonic particles that create her energy batons (see Photonic Blue Energy Batons, below). The right gauntlet contains a near thread thin Kendrium cable line of 100 feet/ 7 stories that can be deployed as a grappling hook or wire. The left gauntlet houses a holographic scanner and relay (see Visual Holographic Camouflage, below). The Questionite alloy is also embedded into the knuckles of her gauntlets to allow for greater impact in attacks.  

[[File:Sparrowbackflip.jpg |500px|right]]

* '''Mother, Mark 2''', a computer unit which links to Sparrowhawk's costume (housed in a compartment on her upper left arm). Designed by Alex herself and set up by her friend Simon Reynolds, Mother is an Artificial Intelligence that serves as an ally of sorts. It assists her in hacking into mainframes, controlling items such as her tracking systems and gives her access to a GPS system. Sparrowhawk can remotely utilize and run the Barlowe Building through her uniform should the need present itself. Her lenses are also hooked up with Mother, giving her access to UNTIL and PRIMUS databases as well as recording data and the ability to run on the spot analyses. It can connect to numerous orbiting satellites and controls her Red Kestrel grav bike remotely.

* '''Psionic Scrambler'''. This tiny, microchip sized device is embedded in the helmet section of Sparrowhawk's combat uniform. A modified version of UNTIL's Advanced U-CFA Brainscrambler Psionic Disruption Pistol, Sparrowhawk has redesigned and incorporated it into her uniform. It is used offensively, activated via a small control by her temple. When set off, it releases a short blast of psionic feedback in a twenty foot radius, and while effective against most it is extremely potent against those with mental super powers. It effectively disrupts the neural pathways of the assailant, resulting in intense pain, loss of consciousness and even temporary memory loss; either way, an agonizing and splitting headache.

* '''Force Field Generator'''. Actually a modified and miniaturized Gadroon force field generator, it is controlled by the Mother unit on her left gauntlet via verbal command. This can create a sphere of solid force around Sparrowhawk for approximately 15 seconds before its energy is depleted. It then enters a recharge period of several minutes before it can be reactivated. While only good in short bursts, it is nonetheless invaluable in certain situations.

* '''Visual Holographic Camouflage'''. This device, worn on Sparrowhawk's left gauntlet, can take imagery of others and imprint an exact duplicate holographic overlay on top of Sparrowhawk. Sparrowhawk is then able to essentially appear as another person visually (even over things such as security cameras), though it cannot replicate voices. Quick movements will often create a subtle blur like effect over the hologram which allows others to realize it is fake, so it is not suitable in combat.

* '''Black Valkyrie Dual Pistols'''. These are a pair of specially designed compact semi automatic guns often housed in quick release pouches on her belt. They are outfitted with a laser sight grip and silencer. The pistols use a variety of ammunition depending on the situation. Though quite small (only the size of a Boberg XR9-S Semi Automatic Pistol, with a 3.35" barrel) they pack quite the punch. They utilize 9x19mm ammunition that can pierce through body armor. She also keeps on her explosive rounds, silver bullets, and even some 'Exorcist' (warded) ammunition supplied by UNTIL agent [[Skarius Snowtalon|<span style="color:#7171A9">Skarius Snowtalon</span>]] that are proven effective against spirits and ghosts ... just because you never know when you'll need it.

* '''Analysis Kit'''. Contains everything a detective on the go requires. Blood sampling and DNA collection, fingerprint analysis, etc.  

* '''Miniature rebreather'''. A small, palm sized rebreather that enables her to act in areas affected by gas attacks or in water for a limited time.  

* '''Electronic Lock pick'''. The size of a mere USB memory stick.

* '''Medical kit'''. A very combat ready, yet compact, field kit for emergencies.

* '''Razor Disc'''. Razor sharp (hence their name) shuriken like discs that can be thrown at targets. They come in several varieties (see below) that must be clicked and released to activate as well as a regular style that has no added properties. They are rather compact (only about 3" in diameter) and carried in a specially designed pouch that keeps them from being involuntarily activated.  

* '''Flashbang Razor Disc'''. Shuriken like devices that release a 180 decibel sonic blast and well as a flash that causes temporary blindness.

* '''EMP Razor Disc'''. Shuriken like device that, when making contact, explodes and releases an electromagnetic pulse that temporarily disrupts or completely destroys electronic devices.

* '''Cryo Grenade'''. This small, 2.5" sphere can be thrown, and when it makes contact essentially freezes whatever it strikes with a specialized cryogenic solution.  

* '''Homing Devices'''. These homing devices, no larger than a dime, that can be planted and traced via the 'Mother' computer unit.

* '''Red Kestrel''' (gravity bike): After Sparrowhawk's original Night Bird was destroyed while fighting the demon known as Belphegor, she decided to create a better, stronger, more functional vehicle. The chassis and body are Kendrium plated for better durability than the Night Bird. Still utilizing a plasma accelerator as a weapon, it is also outfitted with other offensive capabilities. A gravity pulse which both immobilizes and incapacitates targets, a heavy plasma cannon, plasma bombs and laser turrets are now also on her gravity bike. It contains modified Gadroon force shields in addition to stealth capability that renders the vehicle and its rider unseen to both the naked eye and radar. An on board computer system and uplink to the Mother AI unit is on the vehicle as well as a bio electric defensive charge to those who are not given a command code. This vehicle, like the Night Bird, is also powered by photovoltaics, self sustaining solar energy. The Red Kestrel can also be remote controlled verbally by Sparrowhawk through the Mother AI unit in her costume. The Red Kestrel can reach a top speed of 750 miles per hour, right under the sound barrier, while a thin ionized plasma shield about the vehicle offers protection to the rider from wind and other forms of damage.

Sparrowhawk, like most heroes, has her own weaknesses.

* '''Social Skills'''. While Alex has many allies, she has far fewer friends. Very dedicated to her work and duties, Alex maintains a business first attitude. While she can come across as extremely charming, friendly and kind during social engagements, much of this is trained behavior. In reality she has a difficult time relaying her own feelings and as such tends to keep others at arms length. Her issues with others extend to her work ethics fighting crime as well. Sparrowhawk has a reputation throughout the super heroic community for being rude and demanding. It is something that she has been working on changing, though all things take time. It requires some effort for her to feel comfortable with most heroes and she has more than once underestimated someones value in a team setting. Sparrowhawk also has extreme trust issues that take shape in her maintaining secrets even from her closest allies and friends that hampers her.

* '''Overconfidence'''. Sparrowhawk does have a tendency to think she is able to do most anything by herself and her level of confidence goes nearly into arrogance territory. Her skills, while quite exceptional, sometimes lead her to being overconfident in her crime fighting efforts. She has gotten herself way over her head regarding trouble on more than one occasion believing that something would be far easier than what it actually was.

[[All-Star|<span style="color:#7171A9">All-Star</span>]]: Sparrowhawk was simultaneously in awe and annoyed by the quick shooting hero All-Star at their initial encounter. While unparalleled in his gun toting talents, his flippant personality on the field often was a source of eye rolling for her. Even though he encouraged a flirty relationship with her from their introduction, she resisted his charms. As time progressed however, she realized two things: they made an incredibly effective fighting duo, and more importantly, All-Star had a lot to offer as a person than just sheer combat skill. He had charm, wit, and a penchant for living life to the fullest, not to mention a huge heart. She joined Rising Force due to him and invited him when she began the Protectors. While at one time involved in a romantic relationship, they have parted on amicable terms, still acknowledging each other as friends and partners.

[[File:PotWGGW.jpg|550px|right|<font color=#00000>Sparrowhawk alongside Protectors African Violet, Zelara, Razira and Voreen.</font>| thumbnail]]

[[Dobergirl|<span style="color:#7171A9">Dobergirl</span>]]: A former member of the Young Sentinels, Sparrowhawk met Dobergirl while working as a liaison for the GLOBE peace keeping agency. She was quickly impressed by Dobergirl's tenacity and dedication to whatever fight is brought her way. Sparrowhawk admires the her boundless energy, optimism and especially her kindness to others. Their relationship has evolved into an actual friendship with Sparrowhawk playing a mentor role of sorts to Dobergirl. She is one of the few in the actual super heroic community Sparrowhawk is fiercely protective of and views her like a sister. Sparrowhawk invited the heroine into the Protectors because she saw the potential the canine heroine was capable of. Dobergirl has proven time after time that she is definitely an A-Lister.

[[Kara McIlroy|<span style="color:#7171A9">Kara McIlroy|Keioisis</span>]]: Sparrowhawk is not terribly close to Kara McKilroy, aka Keiosis, but has a working history of her dating back to her time in the Young Sentinels. She also knew her father, Keioseth, and realized the teen had a lot of potential to offer a team. Taking Kara under the wing of the Protectors she hopes to bring Kara's full potential as a global guardian to the forefront. Having a father like Keioseth with his own connections with the Freelancers does not hurt, either. Sparrowhawk values Kara's ability and positive can-do attitude that pairs exceptionally well with fellow Protector and friend, Dobergirl.  

[[Katsuo|<span style="color:#7171A9">Katsuo</span>]]: Katsuo and Sparrowhawk's relationship is strictly professional, especially with the Japanese hero being so single-minded in his pursuit of combat. Sparrowhawk acknowledges that he has more than earned the right on the team, seeing him persevere against formidable odds when fighting. He listens to direction and follows orders like a dutiful soldier. It is her hope however that Katsuo begins to show another side to his personality in order to better connect with and mesh well with his team mates and experience some personal growth. She also thinks getting further experience in hand to hand combat training would bring him to the next level, something Katsuo often dismisses due to his already exemplary powers.

'''Simon Reynolds (NPC)''': Former hero '''Technonaut''', Simon currently works as a contractor for non-violent weapons design for both PRIMUS and UNTIL. Alex met Simon early into her job as an agent and the two hit it off. While never more than platonic friends, they do share a love for technobabble and are at the ready to assist the other should it arise. Simon has helped Alex on many occasions, often designing or repairing devices for her... and sometimes just to lend a friendly ear. Incredibly shy and soft spoken, Simon plays an important role behind the scenes for Sparrowhawk.

[[Thundrax|<span style="color:#7171A9">Thundrax</span>]]: Thundrax and Sparrowhawk have maintained a solid professional relationship for several years. Knowing each other initially through the Sentinels, Thundrax accepted her offer to join the Protectors of the World. While Sparrowhawk does not look at him with the revere most do, she respects and acknowledges his values, honesty and commitment to fighting the good fight. Thundrax is representative to what most heroes should strive to be in her mind. His very presence allows many a citizen in Millennium the ability to sleep well at night. Thundrax left the Protectors due to finding himself at an impasse with how certain members conducted themselves on the field versus his own personal code of conduct, though Sparrowhawk still considers him a friend and ally.

[[Voreen|<span style="color:#7171A9">Voreen</span>]]: Sparrowhawk chose Voreen as one of the newest recruits into the Protectors of the World given the alien heroine's impressive power set. Voreen has become a necessary part of the team rather quickly, not being embraced by the rest of the team but by Sparrowhawk herself. Sparrowhawk enjoys Voreen's interesting views on Earth culture and her rather subtle naivete that is off set by her knowledge of off planet lore. That, and she find's the alien's humor rather charming.

[[Zelara|<span style="color:#7171A9">Zelara</span>]]: Zelara, the Laser Knight and Sparrowhawk met while working briefly for the team '''Rising Force''', and Sparrowhawk was so taken by the alien heroine's abilities she was one of her first candidates to join the Protectors. While at first there was some apprehension on Zelara's end due to a crush she had on All-Star, whom Sparrowhawk was with at the time, it was quickly resolved. Sparrowhawk appreciates the Laser Knight's ability to work well under pressure, a no nonsense work ethic and practical demeanor.

* '''Cassowary''' aka Jason Mansfield. Jason Mansfield's father, Jefferson, was a member of the Apotheosis Project just as Sparrowhawk's father, Alan Harper, was. While Alex was raised without the knowledge of her father's involvement in such affairs, Jason was given full disclosure at a young age. His father, with assistance from the contacts provided by Alan Harper via UNTIL, sent Jason abroad and spent much of his life going about the world training in various skills. By the end of his teenage years Jason was a master combatant and an expert in dozens of skills. Jason was also a polymath like Alex, his training over numerous fields of study from history to assassination to herbalism. At the age of 21 he was brought before the heads of the Apotheosis Project. They deemed Jason their first choice to eventually ascend to the head of the organization once their fathers had relinquished their roles and passed on. In the meanwhile, his abilities were further enhanced through continued positive genetic engineering... making him even stronger, quicker and tougher, driving his abilities to the fullest that a human could aspire to. Cassowary's role during the so-called 'Eugenics War' ensured he acted as the group's primarily field leader and assassin. With the fall of the Apotheosis Project by way of Sparrowhawk and the members of the Protectors of the World, Cassowary has taken what little of the members remain to refocus and regroup. He also has a score he wishes to settle with his 'sister', Alex Harper, for her inability to follow the family legacy. While Sparrowhawk's overall combat training is superior, Cassowary's physical abilities surpass hers. It is one day that he hopes to see who would survive a final encounter.

[[File:Screenshot 2012-11-11-11-37-29.jpg|130px|left|]]

* '''M.E.K.K.A.''' aka Erik Morrison. Erik Morrison was a weapons designer and inventor for VIPER who had his sights set on far more lucrative goals than carving out a non identity as a mere cog in the machine that was the Venomous Imperial Party of the Eternal Reptile. Designing a sophisticated suit for himself, dubbed the M.E.K.K.A. (Mechanical Energized Kendrium Killing Armor) armor, Erik set out to establish himself. He wished to be active as both a villain for hire as well as continuing to create and supply his inventions to the highest bidder. During this time M.E.K.K.A. established a base of operations on the mysterious and ominous 'Monster Island'. He began to surround himself with robots and underlings of his own creation, gradually replacing the need for any human assistance in his forces. When an artifact of great but mysterious power came to Millennium City, Sparrowhawk was requested by GLOBE to guard it. This brought her into her first confrontation with M.E.K.K.A., and it began an ongoing war between the two. She seemed to thwart him at every avenue, which only further increased his resolve to kill her. Threatening Millennium City with a 'death ray', it was Sparrowhawk who finally took him down and delivered him to justice. M.E.K.K.A. currently plots from within Stronghold penitentiary, his drones and robots still active throughout various parts of Millennium City and still assuring his small empire is kept active, waiting his return.

* '''Venus In Furs''' aka Astrid Prock. Head of one of the largest human trafficking operations in eastern Europe, Venus In Furs also elects to kidnap and extort from many prominent families as a means of income. Astrid was born with mutant abilities that she learned to control and use to her own interests at a young age. These powers are the ability to enthrall others to her will by means of mass mental suggestion and pheromone control as well as minor illusion casting ability that can trick all five main senses in a human. While Astrid appears to be in her early twenties, she is actually in her early sixties. Her powers over illusion are often utilized for sheer vanity, such as maintaining a youthful appearance to others around her. It is also effective in combat however, which she will do when threatened. Astrid also surrounds herself with a number of hired muscle that she keeps enthralled under her will, a few of them possessing super powers of their own. Venus was originally owner in a German dance club called Die Peitsche ('The Whip') that catered to a very specific clientele of young, rich and bored twenty somethings. Sparrowhawk on one mission traveled to Germany, infiltrating her operations involving the human trafficking. She was successful at shutting both that down as well as the club itself. Venus, however, managed to escape by use of her powers. Seeking a fresh start and a way to begin anew, Venus In Furs had decided to move across the ocean to the United States, where she has once again resumed her criminal activities. A team of heroes coordinated by Sparrowhawk dismantled her operations that were stationed in Millennium City, where Venus was abducting club goers as a means of human trafficking. Though her operations were ruined, Venus escaped and remains at large.

*'''Twisted Sisters''' are actually one person, Veronica Darger. Veronica has the mutant ability to create multiple clones of herself, each one able to read the others thoughts anywhere, anytime. This power has made her a unique assassin as well as allowing her to become a one woman criminal organization. It is believed that Veronica is actually able to release as many as one hundred duplicates of herself. She is a trained marksman and martial artist, and while she possesses formidable skills often depends on mass numbers acting in perfect unison to ensure her success. She maintains large armories across the world in several large cities which equip her clones with a variety of hi tech weapons and armor. Veronica's bodies are able to freely travel, completing assignments in smaller numbers while her main body is typically secured in a safe location. Sparrowhawk first tangled with the Twisted Sisters in Belize, where she stopped a drug ring which was coordinated by them. It was at that time she discovered the vast network run by this one woman and her multitude of bodies. Since then, Sparrowhawk has been diligently working about the globe in order to shut Twisted Sister and her organization of one down.

This is to assist people legally, financially, and emotionally who have lost loved ones due to violent crime. Justin Channing was the son of Senator Oliver Channing from Texas and enhanced through genetic manipulation like Sparrowhawk was. Senator Channing was a head member of the Apotheosis Project and had a hand in inadvertently murdering Justin by submitting him to a neurological control device.
