Charles Landwick, Middle name was because his parents were huge fans of sherlock, was once a college student that was on his way to be a lawyer. He had a friend like brother as a roommate, but due to his cowardice back then, he hid as a murderer killed his best friend. Enraged, Instead of pursuing the path of a lawyer, Charles dropped out of school and started investigating. He investigated, sometimes even killing(which he came to regret as time went on), and investigated until he found the murderer who worked for a gang. Scared but nevertheless, holding onto his wrath, he picked up guns, he started practicing them, He would find some members of the gang out and alone and he would kill them. He knew though, that what he did isn't enough. He started building his resume and rapport with the public. He worked to gain the connections and abilities he needed to hunt down this gang. Until one day, during a investigation for a lost child, he came across a cult. A ritual, he tried to stop it and killed them, but instead of the child, he was hit as the new target. This hit made his eyes shake as he passes out. Only to wake up the next morning, realizing he can see everything twice as clear. Upon looking in a mirror, his eyes shine a slight purple compared to how they did before. Speechless, he picked up shades and a pair of normal fake glasses, still continuing his investigation as he tries to build his rapport, only to come into contact, with a certain group of people that wishes to hire him, for something similar to his current job, just a tad bit more dangerous for some information on the effects the ritual had on his body. Upon realizing the changes, he thinks deeply about his action, while still seeking to take down the gang, he is prepared to help those that need his help.
