Watchman
American
Gavin Cross is the Watchman, a vigilante who wages his own personal war against crime in Millennium City. As the son of two wealthy socialites, he would eventually inherit his father's company, CrossCorp. When his parents died in an unfortunate car accident, Gavin subsequently acquired his father's wealth and shares. Desperate to run the business like his old man, he stumbled upon an old journal hidden in his father's study which detailed the discovery of a clandestine organization that plagued the company for years. Suspicious of the cause of his parents' deaths, Gavin realized that he couldn't investigate this further without drawing suspicion from the board of directors, so he mysteriously vanished the next day. He was legally declared dead as a result of being missing for several years.
Recently, Gavin has miraculously returned to Millennium City and taken full control of CrossCorp. Armed with the curious ability to gracefully slip into and out of social atmospheres with little warning, it is impossible to tell who he really is. No one realizes that the billionaire secretly moonlights as a detective who fights corruption through espionage and investigation. A skilled marksman and martial artist, he favors the bow and his sharp mind to help him carry out his crusade against injustice.

Roleplay Hooks
- Gavin is a highly recognizable celebrity in Millennium City. Your character may have seen him on TV recently.
- Does your character work for CrossCorp? Are they affiliated with the company in any way? Gavin probably knows them.
- Gavin's reputation as a party animal and frequent nightclubber precedes him. It's highly possible your character has seen him in the downtown nightclubs on the weekends.
- His sudden disappearance after the death of his parents a few years ago remains a hot topic among gossipers and nosy reporters.
- While his line of work tends to keep him within Millennium City, he sometimes takes impromptu "vacations" to different places such as Vibora Bay.
- The Watchman tends to stay out of sight when conducting his business, but he can't hide forever. Your character may have spotted him at night.
- In terms of busting criminals and solving cases, the Watchman has created a small reputation for himself. Because rumors of his questionable crimefighting methods have surfaced, the MCPD has placed him on their wanted list.
- Is your character participating at an event somewhere in the city? The Watchman may be spying on them from a distance. Be wary of your surroundings.
Public Opinion
"I have seen many like him in my time. Quite a few broke under the pressure, others simply gave up, others just kept carrying on until that life put them into an early grave. What sets him apart is the fact that he thinks of the consequences of his actions and how they affect the bigger picture. An admirable trait. It's a shame he wastes his talents in a fight he can never win." - The Doctor
"A dependable man. Highly critical and analytical, I feel his point of view is much needed on a team such as ours." - Ultima King
"Watchfriend is a good human and a good teammate. He is also surprisingly effective with such a primitive weapon." - Starlancer
"From my limited working experience with him, he could come across as a bit more amiable when in the field - but there is no denying that his skill with a bow rivals even my own, and he is a valuable ally to have watching your back. I am sure we will grow accustomed to one another in due time." - Sherwood
"Watchman is a man of conviction -- of grit and determination. I don't think I've ever seen him back down from anything. You ask me why I recruited a man like him to combat a threat like the impending destruction of the Multiverse, I'll tell you the truth: it's because I can trust him to keep his eyes on our mission more than anyone else. Perhaps even more than myself..." - Captain Collider
