Alex Drake (never call him Sigfreid) was born to a wealthy british family. The drakes, for 3 generations have been popular professional wrestlers all over the world. Alex's grandfather Perry was the heir to a crumbling mining fortune who turned his love of sport and a good donnybrook into a professional wrestling career in the early 1940's and 50's. He invested wisely, married a lovely young woman with a head for business and had a stapping son who followed him into the business. Alex's father wrestled all over the world. He too, invested wisely and the family fortunes grew. James had five children; three boys and two girls. He children all went into the family business after their educations. James Drake's sons and dadughters had travelled the world, studying with tutors as he wrestled. They all went to prestegious American or European colleges and then, one by one stepped into the ring.
Alex's eldest brother Ron was a brawler like his grandfather and father before him, Geoff and Alex, Tricia and Freya took to the "luchadore" approach, high flying, acrobatic and dangerous. The children were articulate, had varying degree's of acting talent and a whole world of experiences by the time they were in their early twenties. Geoff, however, managed to become a bad seed. Not just heel bad, but truely a poor excuse for a human being. He began running with criminal gangs, then made a career as a hired assassin, using his wrestling career as a cover for his need to travel. Ron found out; the eldest son saw it as his duty to steer Geoff away from his vices. The confrontation became physical and despite his athletecism and speed, Geoff found himself unable to contend with Ron's furious strength; so he shot him. Geoff didn't even bother hiding it from his family; he had grown tired of them all and when he decided to start his own criminal empire, he told them as much. It was too much for James to take; he too confronted his wayward son, but Geoff thrashed him mightily and sent him home. It was then that Alex stepped in. The youngest son, Alex had idolized his older brothers and his inability to believe Geoff was capable of the actions he had admited to. He blames himself for not acting sooner and he could have spared his father the injuries that robbed him of his spirit. Alex chased Geoff off and swore to bring him down. He contacted the police and turned over all evidence of Geoff's crimes he had access too, but it was too late, the up and coming crime lord had left the country and was now plying his trade through out Europe. Alex then took what he considered the only viable step, he became a vigilante. His hunting of Geoff, now calling himself Crimelord, led him to America and he found himself trying out for a team of heroes there. He didn't make the cut but has ideas of funding his own team. He still wrestles occasionally to keep the appearance of normalcy for the family and to watch out for his sisters who are still in the business. He has moved his family to America and has begun training himself for the life of a crime fighter.
His past is something like a cross between classic comic families and the Von Erichs. Alex feels responsible for his father's condition and Ron's death (even though Ron never told the rest of the family what he had found out). As Scorpio 7, Alex takes on a grim and silent personae, a charicature of death (in Pro Wrestling terms) and a street vigilante. Except he's serious. From the time he was ten, Alex has equated superheroes with the noble knights of british folklore. He has taken the codes of chivalry as his own and will not break them.
"Tell Crimelord he's next <crack>."
Scorpio 7 is a martial artist that plays like a brick. He does pretty good damage and can take a punch pretty good. He is dedicated to learning the crime fighting portion of the job (detective work, gathering evidence, etc.) he wants to destroy Crimelord and put him behind bars for life, not kill him.
A grim stalker in the night with a kind of silly twist. He also is rich and could fund a hero group. If he's not tough enough for your campaign, give him a few more martial arts maneuvers that he's incorporated into his repetoire and bring his dex and speed to 26/6. If he's too tough, remove his DC's with wrestling drop his total defenses to 20/16, his STR to 20 and DEX/SPD to 18/4
