Clock of Kronos - Claymore
- Location
- Britain
Cape name: Claymore
Civilian name: Gabriel Monkswood
Age: Nineteen
Powers: Claymore has the ability to transform parts of his body and clothing into a substance that seems to work under different laws of physics. While he cannot transform his entire body at once he can have a quarter of his mass transformed at any one time. He can manipulate the shape of his transformed body parts. The substance that he can produce has the power to induce an effect on any target that comes into contact with it. While this is limited by the fact Claymore cannot change the effect on the fly and it is still limited by the Manton effect he utilises this to do things like engulfing transformed limbs in flame or removing friction around himself to move faster. The effect he can apply have limitations, for example he could not throw fire instead of coating his limbs. He can only shift his transformed body parts very slowly and cannot form complex shapes. Claymore cannot choose an effect that affects things like time or distance and the effects only occur within a maximum distance of five inches around the transformed body part. Claymore cannot create an effect that would directly effect a living being and substances or effects created by his transformed body parts cease to work after leaving the field his transformed body parts effects (a few inches). He can apply multiple effects if he is willing to reduce the power of each effect. The substance itself is a soft metal-like material.
Biography: Gabriel was born in England and lived there for the first fifteen years of his life. His parents were the groundskeepers for the mansion of an old and wealthy family and Gabriel grew up learning gardening and etiquette. The old man who owned the property took a liking to Gabriel and often told him stories of knights in shining armour and how it was important to do the right, noble, and honourable thing. However the old man who owned the property died and his son decided they no longer need groundskeepers. His parents spent a few months trying to find work but were unsuccessful, they were eventually found supposed salvation when an offer of work came from his mother's cousin in Brockton Bay.
When they arrived things seemed to begin to brighten up, but Gabriel quickly learned that the job offer was actually membership in Empire 88. Gabriel attempted to convince his parents to leave the gang, however they told him it was impossible and that they were just doing what they had to to support the family. He continued to plead with his parents for the next two years and noticed their attitudes changing. What was once doing what they did because they had to slowly became the right thing to do, and that the filthy niggers and other subhumans were the reason they lost their work.
Disgusted Gabriel run away from home and spent the next month living on the streets. One day he saw a member of the Empire beating up an old homeless man in an alleyway and he stepped into try and help. While he saw of the Empire thug he realised the old man was a high on drugs and though he tried to help the man was completely senseless. He left the man where he was, realising there was little he could do for him. However when Gabriel passed by the alley a few hours later he saw a group of ABB members ruffling through the old man's pockets, one member held a bloody knife. Gabriel snapped, triggering he killed the ABB thugs and then went after his mother cousin, a fairly high ranking member of the Empire. He blamed them for his family's descent into what he saw as madness. He killed her and then disappeared. He lived on the streets for another two years, acting as a casual vigilante. Acting only if something occurred in front of him.
Then a man approached him, offering a job. Sick of the misery of the streets and feeling betrayed by everything he believed in Gabriel accepted.
Notoriety: Claymore has a mild reputation with pretty much every power in Brockton Bay. And usually they say not to bother. Powerful enough that killing him would cost more overall instead of leaving him be. he was never connected with the killing of his mother's cousin and has never taken any actions or taken enough actions to draw the attention of someone who could actually deal with him. While the PRT did attempt to recruit him he was so evasive it was decided not to bother.

Claymore wears a plain coat and shirt, with the only obviously parahuman owned piece of equipment he wears being his mask. A plain grey helmet that covers his entire head. He always carries a first aid kit and a set zip ties.
