Editing Kurtzberg NPCs (section)

=Others=

=="Lefty" Baines== 	

===Occupation=== 

Cameraman; master of the terminally embarrasing tabloid candid 	

===Current Status===

Feared by those with secrets to hide; beloved by gossips worldwide. 	

===Description===

He changes his look constantly to remain unnoticed. 	

===Abilities===

A real talent for finding the perfect moment to catch someone with their finger up their nose, metaphorically or not. 	

===Connections===

Tabloids everywhere.

==Lisa Blair== 	

===Occupation===

Teen Pop Idol 	

===Current Status===

On the rise, not hit scandals or cynicism yet. 	

===Description===

An attractive blonde teenager dressed in the latest styles. She comes across as very perky and positive in interviews. They say her live shows are much, much more impressive than her videos or recordings, but they say that about everyone. 	

===Abilities===

She can actually sing, but the marketing machine backing her makes that almost unnecessary.

===Connections===

==Maximillian Di Flores==

===Occupation===

Fashion Designer; Costume designer and consultant

===Current Status===

A power none dare challenge in the fashion industry

===Description===

Always exquisitely dressed, Mr. Di Flores is a professional fashion designer who seeks to repay debts he feels he owes to the metahuman community by providing costumes for new heroes. While his designs are generally aesthetically impressive, he also does design his costumes for practicality, and with the wearer's capabilities in mind. A small man with very long, dyed hair, Mr. Di Flores affects flamboyant gestures, although he generally tones them down a great deal when around young men. 

===Abilities===

Fashion

Everyone who is anyone.

==Zebulon Graves==

==Brian Pike==

===Occupation=== 	

Billionaire industrialist, dilletante explorer and adventurer 	

===Current Status===

Semi-retired from exploring, still an active industrialist. 	

===Description===

A grey-haired man in his sixties, he lost his left eye and hand several years ago, and wears an eyepatch and a prosthetic hand. 	

===Abilities===

Boy, he's rich.  He's also an experienced adventurer, and it's almost certain that his prosthetic hand has some kind of useful features

===Connections===

After his journey to Elfland, he married the widowed and exiled Queen of Elfland, Malerella.

==Reaper== 	

===Occupation===

Former villain, current talk-show host and annoying celebrity. 	

===Current Status===

Nobody admits to watching his show, but his ratings are fairly high. 	

===Description===

Reaper looks like a skeleton in a suit. Actually, his living tissues are invisible and he has no hair, so only his bones are visible. He's extremely abrasive, and has a talk show that he uses to mock superheroes for their failings. He doesn't generally do anything like skewer anyone for a death they couldn't stop, though-- he sticks to mocking their clothes, fashion sense, and any embarrassing moments. 	

===Abilities===

Aside from wielding the power of the media, Reaper is virtually unkillable. 	

===Connections===

Reaper has battled a number of heroes over the years, and mocked still more.
