Vestige
Sean Dhale was an undergraduate employee at the Millennium City Museum when it was targeted by a villain and his henchmen to steal priceless relics. While henchmen were facing off against heroes, one of them dropped a relic they were carrying that was in the form of a simple greco-roman-like helmet. Sean had been hiding nearby and was hoping to escape the encounter unharmed when he noticed the helmet. He knew he should turn over the relic, but in the aftermath of the confrontation, the helmet reached out to him, and lured him to keep it.
Later Sean had battled with returning the helmet, feeling unethical about keeping it and worried about his work study job. The helmet again reached out to him, this time to don it. Once he places the helmet upon his head it can speak with him telepathically, and it shows him a myriad of mystical sights and the rush of its knowledge and persona are overwhelming to him. The helmet calls itself Kharunesh, and it has centuries of memories and knowledge. Over the next few weeks it begins revealing the secrets of magic and the supernatural, teaching him about the subtleties and nuances of their workings. Slowly this revelation begins to generate newfound powers in him, and lead him to explore remote locales of the world, and even other dimensions to retrieve mysterious artifacts. These artifacts provide the developing hero with new tools and weapons in which to battle villainy!
Shortly after the Hero Vestige is born, from the union of the helmet Kharunesh and the scholastic Sean Dhale. Armed with newly acquired artifacts and secret knowledge he is prepared to assist the heroes of Millennium City and beyond in the service of the greater good!
