This was my concept.

Appearance:
NOTE: The costume contains the strap/shoulder-breastplate, not the quiver.
Under the hood and mask, Ben is a tall, well built young man with close cropped black hair . From the neck to his hips, and shoulder to fingertips, he is riddled with scars, and his face bears slices from forehead to jawline on the right side, as well as a scar from the tip of his lips to the middle of his cheek on the right side held in place by surgical sutures.
Personality: Calm, and dark. He is at times, possessive of a dark sense of humor, but is eerily calm in combat. Has a temper though. During times when he must use torture, he is sadistic, and apathetic towards the subject.
Skills: Hand to hand combat (Master): Extremely adept in combat, to the point of being able to analyze and pinpoint weaknesses and strengths in opposing combat strategies instantaneously and adapt accordingly.
Tactical Analysis: Ben is capable of analyzing complex combat strategies, including fighting at least two people simultaneously, in his head instantaneously.
Master Torturer: Knows how to exact maximum amount of pain and agony on a victim while keeping them alive as long as possibleAbilities: None. He is a normal Human.
Equipment: None.
Brief Backstory:Not much is known of his early life, but what is known is this: Ben was born in South Carolina, raised an orphan. As a child, he was very outwardly angry, and often struck out wards at other kids who bullied him. His rage at his situation would lead him to where he is today, as one day, The Wraith was watching him as a prospective protégée, the exact reasons and circumstances for which are unknown. What is known, however, is that he was adopted by his mentor at the age of five, and trained from that day forward into the master combatant he is today. However, how he gained his scars, is unknown.
When the Wraith took him in, he explained what the Mantle of the Wraith meant, and what it was. The mantle was created nearly five centuries ago by an Arabic assassin who broke free from the bonds of the order of assassins who worshipped hashish. He struck out on his own, wandering, bereft of purpose, until he saw what he could really do. Assassins like himself, masters of empty handed combat, could be ghosts, shapers of history, create their own purpose. So he created the mantle, and from generation to generation, the mantle has been passed to those deemed worthy, to those ready to forge their own purpose for the mantle.
Ben had a fire in him, and his master taught him to temper it, taught him the ways of empty handed combat honed over five centuries. He taught Ben to temper the rage, and use it to keep a clear head. Eventually, the master gave all his knowledge and passed the torch. Ben, in turn, made his master's passing painless. Turning his attention to the Superhuman situation in America, having spent his training in London and abroad, Ben heads home.
