**Morgan Rhys**, known in active records as **Grayscale**, is a former para-archival researcher turned field operative after exposure to a bound artifact of shadow origin, the *Umbrathar*. Initially recruited into an arcanotechnical think tank under D.A.T.A., Rhys’s descent into the esoteric fringes of relic study led him to breach containment on the weapon, merging his psyche with the artifact’s latent resonance field.
Subsequent observation indicates partial symbiosis rather than full possession, a state in which Rhys retains autonomous control but channels power through metaphysical resonance with Umbrathar’s “bleed field.” It is this connection that fuels his unusual command of shadow and spectral energy—abilities typically reserved for trained magi, though Rhys himself admits only “intermediate familiarity” with spellwork.
Grayscale operates outside sanctioned hero organizations, often contracted for recovery, interdiction, and counter-occult containment tasks deemed too volatile for standard agents. His methodology is efficient but morally opaque; reports frequently note collateral distortions, memory haze, and psychological residue in recovered areas. Despite this, the *Paragon Para-Academy of Theoretical Metaphysics* continues to classify him as a “necessary irregularity.”

'''Behavioral Notes:'''
- Displays subdued affect and deliberate speech patterns; frequently pauses mid-sentence, as if evaluating unseen variables.
- Keeps written ledgers of field interactions in archaic script, cross-referencing incidents with medieval Welsh marginalia.
- Carries Umbrathar wrapped in treated linen when not in combat — described by observers as “a superstition disguised as protocol.”
---
'''Affiliations:'''
- Formerly: D.A.T.A. (Research Division)
- Currently: Independent Operative
- Unverified connections to: Midnight Squad, Vanguard Paranormal Division
