A masked solo patrolling the Petrel Line and the blocks beneath it, roughly the team's age and dead-set against joining anybody's roster. Fast, cagey, and treats every conversation with the team like a negotiation nobody asked him to enter. Nobody's sure if the mask hides a kid with something to prove or something to hide. Could easily be both.

Appearance: A lean, wind-worn costume in gull-gray and white, a beaked half-mask that hides everything but the eyes, a long coat that snaps like wings in a hard wind. Never stands still long enough to be pinned down.
