Editing NECESSARY EVIL in Freedom City SPOILER PAGE (section)

===Devil Ray===

Carl Mattus worked in an experimental dome-complex under the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, mostly as a grunt for his wife, the complex’s no-nonsense designer (seen the movie, the Abyss? Same deal.). 

His first contact with the Tyranny Syndicate was when the evil Siren decided that the undersea complex was an affront to her sensibilities, an intrusion of filthy man and their cold stinking blasphemous technologies into the serene world of Les Invisibles. Calling up storms, she battered surface ships attempting to supply the station, while tormenting it’s occupants with controlled sea life for over a week as they died one by one, primarily from CO2 build-up and suffocation, with the assorted violent incidents from her attacks on the facility. 

Dr. Mattus was one of the first casualties, caught outside on a repair mission when a school of sharks tore through the workers, with her husband trapped inside forced to watch through the even on external cameras. 

Carl tried to rally the others and get a signal out, but no help came, and he watched the others succumb, while his diver’s lungs allowed him to be the last survivor. As the CO2 levels reached toxic, an item retrieved on the teams last expedition, a strange suit, not crafted of any technology known to man, beeped, and he reached for it and pulled it’s hood over his head, only to discover that the air’s deteriorating quality had triggered the suits automatic O2 scrubber, and that it’s mask now fed him a stream of clean breathable air. Other systems came online, in the until-now dormant suit, and while he could not make heads or tails of the strange instructions that flashed before his eyes, or the weird piping language that sang in his ears, he soon learned to ignore them and figured out the suit’s major functions by the age old method of ‘trying stuff.’ 

He’s never been a leader, and he knew that he didn’t have the first chance in hell of defeating Siren and getting revenge for the loss of his wife and co-workers, but he did know of Radio Freedom, and that there were others who opposed Siren and her Syndicate allies, and after some ‘freelance’ work, he got their attention and joined the Order.
