The last step in Frank’s metamorphosis. His flesh has become pallid and dull, a stark white color with hints of black and gray sprinkled about. His hair and pupils have shifted to a dreary black, his 5 o’clock shadow now acts as a permanent gray lining around his ugly mug.
Interestingly enough, any clothes he puts on gain these same monochrome properties, shifting to match his current form in a matter of minutes. This has turned his standard trench-coat and trilby into matching garments.
Frank’s entire biology has changed. Like his blood prior (see: Witness Protection), his entire body has gained the ability to harden and soften itself at will. This is primarily used to slip into narrow spaces and hide out in places where you’d least expect him, allowing him to get the jump on almost any perp he encounters.

When the "Umbrae Umbrella 'Perfect Defense'" is in use, its unique feature—an articulating handle—becomes apparent. This sophisticated mechanism allows the handle to bend and rotate, enabling the umbrella to autonomously adjust its position to block attacks from any direction. The moment it detects an incoming threat, the handle flexibly shifts, moving the canopy into the optimal defensive stance to intercept the attack, even if it comes from behind or from an unexpected angle.
Observers witness the handle contorting and twisting in a fluid, almost serpentine manner, while the canopy aligns itself to fend off assaults. This maneuverability ensures comprehensive protection, covering the user from all sides and angles, including overhead and lateral attacks. The handle's movement is smooth and controlled, driven by internal motors and guided by an array of sensors that calculate the best defensive position in real-time.
This active defense system is visually striking, as the umbrella appears to have a life of its own, dynamically responding to threats around the user. The sight of the umbrella pivoting and bending as it protects its bearer not only adds to the spectacle but also highlights the advanced technology embedded within what looks like a conventional accessory.
