To hear him talk about it; Jeff Carruthers was one of the few, the proud, the Silver Avengers. A member of the elite superpowered PRIMUS leadership. The truth however, is that Jeff was found psychologically unfit for PRIMUS duty. He never made it into the organization. Furious that a man of his obvious quality had been turned down by civilian bureaucrats with no idea what a true soldier was, Jeff began his plans for vengence. Finding mercenary work was easy, Jeff was a good soldier and effective killer. He studied PRIMUS, reasearching personel, policies, any public knowledge he could get his hands on and any secrets he could buy. Jeff knows more about PRIMUS now than many of its agents. Then he contacted the master scientist known as Telios.
Telios agreed to give Jeff powers mimicking those of the Silver Avengers (truthfully, a relatively easy task) and in return Jeff does work for Telios on occasion. Empowered, Jeff began hitting PRIMUS facilities, and speaking out publically against them, claiming the agency had forgotten its mission. He called out Silver Avengers and killed two before he was taken seriously. Once the manhunt was on Jeff realized he couldn't fight PRIMUS alone; he would need assitants. Then he began looking for criminals to help him. He found that most established criminals were too self reliant and chaffed under his "leadership". He then began building a team using rumors of new, individual villains. Soon his team, the Destroyers, were active and #1 on PRIMUS's "get list".
To listen to his speeches, Jeff feels PRIMUS has wronged him and America and he is merely fighting back. But Jeff doesn't believe this. In truth it's not even about PRIMUS anymore, he enjoys being a criminal mastermind. His team makes him loads of cash as mercenaries and in their own robberies. He has a good relationship with VIPER, ARGENT, and several outlawed "Militias" scattered across the US and Canada.
"I give you Permission to die."
Jeff's abilities are similar to those of a PRIMUS Silver Avenger, he has intese martial arts training, superhuman STR and near superhuman DEX, CON, and SPD. He is durable and (although he doesn't realize it) just as vulnerable to poisons and toxins. Jeff carries alot of hardware with him, pistol, assault rifle, sub machine gun, and grenades.
Jeff should be about average for Silver Avengers in your game, if you've lowered their abilities, lower his. To make him more formidable, give him more weapons and some more special gear.
Tall and powerfully built, the Iron General wears a uniform resembling a black version of the Silver Avenger costume with a red dagger in place of the American Eagle. His boots, gloves, and belts are iron gray. Jeff has close cropped blonde hair and blue eyes.
