Hellforge
Background
Bram Helbeek’s life has been defined by conflict and invention. Born and raised in Rotterdam, he was fascinated by engineering and weaponry from an early age, a passion that led him to design increasingly dangerous technology. Eventually, his skills drew the attention of S.W.A.R.M., a terrorist organization known for its ruthlessness and technological power. Joining their ranks, Bram honed his expertise in advanced weapons and armor, developing tools that could match and counter superhuman abilities.
After a falling out with S.W.A.R.M., Bram went rogue, ultimately landing in a high-security Canadian prison. There, he remained until the Sinister Spectacle and Cipher Noir orchestrated an elaborate escape plan, offering him freedom and the erasure of his past records. In exchange, Bram would join their team, providing weaponry, armor, and expertise to criminals willing to pay for his services. Now, as Hellforge, he has become a premier arms dealer in the criminal underworld, capable of procuring, designing, and customizing some of the rarest and most dangerous technology on the black market.
Personality Hellforge is a blunt, no-nonsense individual who values efficiency and loyalty within reason. While his work is primarily motivated by profit, Bram has a deep respect for technology and sees himself as a craftsman in the art of weaponry. His demeanor is pragmatic, bordering on cold, and he rarely shows empathy toward those who can’t keep up with his standards.
Having been burned by loyalty to S.W.A.R.M., Bram now treats his partnerships as strictly business. He finds a certain thrill in creating powerful technology that could stand up to superheroes and elite policing forces, taking pride in the chaos his inventions can create. Beneath his hardened exterior, however, is a careful strategist who’s always looking out for his interests, ensuring that no invention he creates can be easily traced back to him.
