Dr. Altair is a Beam Rifle/Energy Aura/Ice Mastery Sentinel. He is currently a vigilante after being a villain for most of his career.

History

Hector Moroz was born to Pavel and Nadezhda Moroz, a pair of scientists who immigrated from Russia during the chaos following the collapse of the Soviet Union. They lived apparently upstanding lives in Paragon Heights (now Galaxy City), though in truth they were maintaining an elaborate façade to hide their criminal activities and world domination plot. They were very controlling towards little Hector, hoping to mold him into their successor. When he was 17, Hector made their plans fell apart by sabotaging their laboratory and exposing their activities to the police. They were eventually convicted of numerous charges including homicide, kidnapping, grand larceny, and embezzlement. Today, Pavel and Nadezhda are incarcerated at Zigursky Penitentiary.

When the police came to take his parents, Hector took advantage of the SWAT raid on his house to steal some of his parents' gadgets and run away. He drifted around until he found himself joining a small criminal organization based in Port Oakes. He used his cut of the organization's earnings to pursue a college education and PhD at Aeon University. After he successfully defended his thesis on theoretical modes of teleportation, he decided that he had outgrown the organization, raided their coffers, and set out on his own, taking on the alias Dr. Altair.

During his time as a supervillain, Dr. Altair was mostly interested in profit, usually doing large-scale robberies and mercenary work. However, he started to find it harder and harder to maintain that life as he drew attention from Arachnos. His jobs for Arachnos wore on him so much that he decided to work out a deal with the US government and DATA that would let him defect from the Rogue Isles and get a new start in Paragon.

Since becoming reestablished in Paragon, he has been working as a teleportation researcher for DATA while moonlighting as a hero and helping other heroes get their starts.

Abilities

Dr. Altair mostly relies on an array of devices that he made and maintains himself. His main arm is a death ray that is accurate to about 20 yards and capable of melting steel doors. For defense, he has an energy shield that can deflect projectiles and soften blows that make it through.

The device he devotes the most effort to maintaining is a personal teleporter. It can currently safely move a person about 150 yards without a teleport beacon.

Dr. Altair has cryokinetic powers, but he hates them because they were inherited from his father. For the most part, he doesn't consider them to be his own and regards them as an unwanted attachment to his father. They manifested when he was about 16, and he suppressed them until he was 23. He was forced to start using them when they began to leak out in explosive ways. During one such incident, he destroyed all of the plumbing in his now ex-boyfriend's apartment building in his sleep.
