One Man, Two Lives: Grenadier works both as a member of the Silvestri Family and as an Alpha criminal, keeping his two lives separate.
Secret: So far Grenadier has managed to keep his identity as Nate Roberts a secret from the members of law enforcement as well as the criminal underworld.
Background: Nate Roberts had always been in some kind of trouble; starting when he was a neighborhood street thug, then moved up to working for the local crooks as muscle until he eventually worked his way into the world of killing for hire. While Nate did decently well, he wasn’t anyone special in that circle and is just one of dozens of cold-blooded killers.
Then Nate took a job that got him caught in Black Sun’s Silver Storm, but unlike most of the people who were struck by those strange energies Nate didn’t manifest his powers immediately and ended up being taken to the hospital where he was treated for some minor injuries he’d sustained during the mayhem that happened that day.
It wasn’t until several weeks later that Nate begun to suffer from incredibly painful migraine headaches, he thought at some points that if his head could pop off his shoulders it might relieve the pain as the medicine he took for it barely did anything to help. Then one day which Nate had been laid up in bed all day in agony, he’d stared at the lamp on his nightstand wishing he could be able to reach up and shut it off as his sensitivity to light had intensified when the lamp spontaneously exploded (and thus destroying the nightstand it had been on as well) but the pain in his head subsided greatly almost immediately.
Quickly figuring out there might be a connection between the two events, Nate focused his attention on the small radio alarm on the other side of his bed and it exploded within seconds and again his pain ebbed. Realizing that he had something he could use to make some serious money Nate stopped playing with his power and slept off the rest of the medicine he’d taken. The following day Nate moved himself out to a cabin he rented that was hours away from his home and devoted himself to practicing with his newfound powers. A month later Nate felt he was ready to go to work and soon the Grenadier made his debut in the super villain community, willing to take on pretty much any work that was well paying. So far he’s developed a decent reputation as a competent operator.
