A retired hero running a hero-adjacent business now — a costume shop, a gear store, a cape-themed cafe, take your pick. Likes the team. Knows everyone in the cape community by name. And every so often, recruiting for something the city hasn't heard about yet.

Appearance: A retro-cut costume kept in careful, museum-quality condition, worn now more like a uniform for running a shop than for fighting; a warm, knowing smile.
