Decay

Decay, similarly to Revenant, is a stark case of a 'From Nobody to Nightmare'. His exact backstory isn't known to the general population, a fact caused mostly by the man in question being pretty much personally brought up by Archvile as one of many manifestations of his petty evilness.
Decay reached popular recognition only following the Liberation Festival attack, which presented him as Revenant's Dragon. As a de facto second in command of the Villain Alliance of America, Decay has promptly amassed significant bodycount.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Decay is relatively thin man, appearing physically weak. It is not entirely wrong image - Decay lacks physical strength, even compared to most 'normal' people. He is however stronger than he looks, and he has incredible reflexes, speed and agility thanks to rather harsh training he received from Archvile.

Special abilities

His individuality is called End and it is almost entirely identical to the one that his sister Entropy used to have. Decay is capable of manipulating entropy in his vicinity. In short - he is capable of making things age rapidly, or de-age them (but only after aging them first - it can only go as far back as their 'natural' age). In this particular case, human beings count as 'things'.
There are three main ways of using his individuality. Touching an object allows him to instantly age it by up to several hundreds of years at will, making it instantly lethal when used against living entities. It can also be used more or less selectively - he is capable of quickly unmaking a fragment of a wall to make an opening, without spreading the effect too much.
He can also coat himself in it, which doesn't do a lot against ranged physical attacks (like guns), but tends to deter melee fighters. It damages his clothes by rapidly aging them, resulting in him using it in short burts in order to ensure that the melee attacks are keeping their distance. If even a single part of your body is hit by it,, you can expect your entire self to lose at least a year of your life per 2-3 seconds.
The third way is him supercharging his ability. It takes him at least 5 to 10 seconds of focus, but he is capable of launching an infectious attack (for example, through the floor, aging everyone in contact with it. It is also capable of transferring through short open spaces and hitting only particular type of targets, for example rapidly aging an entire crowd of people at once for as long as they are close enough.

Apparel & Accessories

Using his individuality ends up inevitably damaging his outfit, leading to Decay not exactly having any 'official' villain uniform. Instead, he tends to wear random hoodies and pants, which overtime degenerate into scraps of rags.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Decay is technically speaking Invincible's nephew-in-law. His mother was his wife's sister (although one that was very estranged from her), a fact that drew Archvile's attention to him and his entire family. He was bestowed an individuality by the Archvile - together with his sister, Entropy. They then promptly murdered their abusive father together, before fleeing into Archvile's embrace.
Archvile's attempts of grooming them into 'proper' supervillains have only truly succeeded with Entropy, with Decay severely lacking initiative and even simply interest in breaking the law for the sake of breaking the law. This continued until the fated encounter with Revenant, who immediately realized the Decay's potential - not as an independent supervillain, but as an extraordinary lieutenant material.
Archvile, at this point seeing Decay as a lost cause, agreed to give it to him, Revenant quickly managing to obtain Decay's unquestionable loyalty. Decay continues to follow his boss ever since.

Intellectual Characteristics

Decay is highly intelligent, but also unhinged and unfettered. He cares little about rules and is somehow largely unpredictable. Following some training (more like 'playing games' together) from Revenant, he ended up developing into a surprisingly skillful tactician, who is capable of executing a stealth mission flawlessly for as long as someone more gifted in strategy gives him a rough plan to perfect on his own and necessary assets.
It has to be stated, however, that he doesn't seem to fare all that well when something completely unpredictable happens. There is a chance of him simply throwing a tantrum and beginning to destroy everything around, for as long as Revenant didn't tell him explicitly that it's no good.

Morality & Philosophy

Whle Archvile's 'teachings' failed to make him into a supervillain, they did impart a significant lack of interest in lives and happiness of others. Decay is a remorseless killer who will kill everyone between him and his goal without batting an eye. He finds no enjoyment in the act of killing however, and will typically take non-lethal options against non-heroes and non-police officers if applicable without endangering the goal in question.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Strengths

Dangerous close quarter combatant. Can move quietly and quickly, and open himself an entrance while ignoring locks - by simply aging the doors into nothingness. Highly competent tactician, who is also extremely loyal to Revenant. Can use his inviduality to thoroughly destroy evidence, leaving nothing for the police and the heroes to pursue.

Weaknesses

Vulnerable to guns, can throw a temper tantrum when surprised by something he wasn't told about while in a combat situation, lacks charisma, tends to smell bad (makes tracking him with improved sense of smell or appropriate machines easier).

Likes & Dislikes

Likes videogames, spending a significant part of his live in full immersion MMORPGs.

Hygiene

Not really, no. He does washes himself, but highly irregularly and can sometimes forget to take a shower for a week or two (at least until someone, typically Revenant, tells him to do it right now or else.
