Name: Cartwright ( His first name is classified) Appearance: Late forties man, with greying hair in shape but does not stand out in a crowd. Age: late forties Sex: Male Power: none but he can kick your ass seven ways to Sunday and has a mind for strategy. Short bio: [Classified: Top Secret Umbra]
that's the point Cartwright is a don of a bitch with a multiple choice background. His actions will make him. If the players are clever they will discover bits of his past.

This may be an unwanted critique, but in my opinion a mystery isn't particularly interesting if there's no reason to be interested in it. All we know about Cartwright is:
Name
Male
Forties
Average looking
Can 'kick ass' and is strategic
If you want people to be interested in his past there needs to be something that brings players in, a reason to search for that mystery. Players aren't going to be interested in the background of someone they know absolutely nothing about. It would be nice to put out at least a tidbit of information to pique people's interest.
I agree with @Diggerton. Currently there's only really a stock character to understand. We cannot understand how your character grows and changes unless we get a brief understanding of where they started.
Otherwise he feels faceless. Its hard to form a connection with a faceless character.
