===Personal Details=== ====APPEARANCE==== A smiling man of slight build, good health, and excellent teeth. He is dressed in well-tailored clothing and appears to be somewhere around 30. Behind him lurk small, dark forms and red eyes in shadows. ====BACKGROUND==== Clark Mautrin had a secret identity as a supervillain long before he ever Breeched. Well, sort of. ("Clark like Superman?" "Clark like my grandfather.") For years a troll has plagued alt.metahuman. He is a clever, invasive troll with a thousand identities and a dozen MOs. He will start arguments as a Marvel zombie or a Vertigo elitist. He will talk shit superhero about movies and claim secret knowledge of scripts. He knows every technique to start an argument, but it's always only a matter of time before he's uncovered by the brave veterans of alt.metahuman and banished. They call him Shadowtroll. (They also often call him "asshole".) Shadowtroll spaces out his appearances, only stopping by every couple of months and building to an explosion within a matter of days. He appears to post from all over the worlds, with no consistent ISP, making it impossible to ban him permanently. But you see... it's all for the fans. Performance art of a sort. After getting particularly drunk one night, Clark concluded most people posting on alt.metahuman do it because they secretly want to be heroes. To be a hero, you need a villain. So he created "Shadowtroll" to be the board's villain, the instigator, the bad guy, whom the rest of the community could take satisfaction from periodically vanquishing. Clark's sales job takes him on periodic sales calls over the world, making it possible for 'Shadowtroll' to pop up from convenient internet cafes. Then one day... the trolls started showing up for real. Little shadowy beings, silent and red-eyed and able to slip through walls like ghosts. Clark thought he was going crazy until he realized he was a Breacher. They come out of his body and go back in to rest, and have all sorts of creepy powers. They take his orders, too... up to a point. His little Shadowtrolls. But it's easy enough to pretend they aren't his. Lately spinning stories and makig sales has become easier than ever. He hardly has to try anymore. Now he just has to decide what to do with his abilities. ====PERSONALITY==== Surprisingly neurotic and insecure for such a charmer. He's got a 'Woody Allen' quality about him where he can constantly be complaining and worried but just be so darn likable about it that you don't hold it against him. When stressed he likes to go troll to make himself feel better.
