Hector Gomez Martinez (Draugar)

Born Nov 19, 1972

Hector was a mid range mentalist, with striking blue eyes. His strongest ability is Psychometry.
 

Hector was the second child of three born to Miguel and Maria Martinez.  Hector was the first of their children born in the United States.

The Martinez family spent a lot of time in the US and in Mexico. Hector’s maternal grandmother was an ill woman and many years where spent in her village caring for her.

Hector’s maternal grandparents where mostly of indigenous blood.  Their village was dirt poor and predominantly of indigenous peoples.  Hector spent from age six to thirteen living a poor life in that Mexican village.  During this time he spend a fair amount of time with his grandfather learning desert skills.  Hector learned many dying arts of survival and travel in the desert regions. Hector also learned the arts of Indian shaman.  The shaman saw Hector’s gifts and helped him to understand and to practice there use.

Some would believe that his education would be lacking from his years spent in his grandparent’s village.  Lucky for Hector his parents where teachers.  His mother, Maria was an English and Spanish major, and his father was science teacher.  The whole village gained form having a school during the years the Martinez lived and cared for their grandmother.

The Martinez returned to America as Hector turned thirteen and just in time for the final child to be born in the United States.

Hector did not adjust will from his calm village life to the poor side of L.A.  To give him so focus he was enrolled into a Martial arts school in a nearby neighborhood of South African refugees.  Hector also joined the police explorer program.

In short order Hector made the US a home and began to excel in school and with joining the American culture.

After high school started college part time and was taking classed in Administration of Justice.  Hector though law enforcement held a way for him to clean up the poor neighborhoods.  Hector joined the force as a reserve officer but was soon disillusioned with the system.  Hector left the force before he really joined it and started a PI firm.  He felt as a Private Investigator he could do more good and use his gifts.

Hector’s knack for finding lost items and places where found items belonged brought his talents to the attention of the Graves Clan.  The Graves being in the middle of a clan war where looking for ways to locate Sargasso safe houses.

Hector was captured and made a prisoner of the Graves.  Hector is a gifted Mentalist but did not have the skills to overcome the Sargasso magical defenses, and was only mildly useful to the Graves. The war started to turn, and the Graves where taking major damage.  Hector’s striking eyes took the fancy of one of the elders. So they took his eyes, then his leg, and then put him into a coma to keep the parts fresh.

He became a parts body slowly dying.

The Graves kept using magic on him to force his mind to keep helping.

During his ordeal his mental powers grew and he left what little was left of his body.

His mind and soul floated free finding the body of a zombie and took it over.

Hector left with a war band and escaped... But with no living body. He still has his mental powers and can take over corpses. When his gets too ripe he steals a fresher body. He may in the future be able to take over a living body but for not only brain dead will work.

When he takes over a corpse he sees how they died and often feels compelled to right the wrong done to them.

Hector kept his mental powers and added limited Astral Projection as he moves from body to body. Hector is afraid of getting lost and currently only hops a short distance from body to body as the Astral realm scares the poop out of him. As he moves he look as like a wisps of smoke.
 

The body at Hector takes is a normal body but Hector can power it up but at a cost of a huge increase in its decay rate.  He can cause the body to have superhuman strength, but it will then carry the unmistakable stench of decay. Animals near Hector in a powered up corpse are often driven mad by the creature's influence.  Being a Corpse few weapons have much effect.

It is unclear about other powers from Draugar, as reports are unreliable.  Many of its victims report a aura of death and fear washing over them.  They even report that the corpse grew to a larger size.  Some experts believe that a vengeful corpse returning for retribution, would cause fear and unreliable reports from those attacked.

Draugar has survived on the streets hopping from body to body in the back streets of a major city.  Once the kind Hector who just wanted to help, Draugar is not an agent of revenge and street justice.
