I run a Sanctuary, a place where Abnormal species can live without fear of being hunted and feared by humans. I myself am what we would call a human Abnormal. My base species is human, but my DNA is slightly mutated, giving me longevity as my Abnormality. I took over the Network from my father. We believe all life deserves protection and so we protect humans and Abnormals from each other.
