Origin

A born criminal legacy of the notorious DeCoy family. His father the legendary shapeshifter and conman known as the Imposter and his mother the apocryphal villainess named Mockery. When his power to create clone duplicates of himself manifested, Faux was trained by both parents to exploit his gifts for financial gain. He became a master counterfeiter of currency and identification papers by the time he finished high school and his criminal resume expanded to bank robbery and safe cracking in place of a college education. Following the death of his mother, Faux’s father drowned himself in his work and disappeared into his criminal activities (currently believed to be on a job, caught up in a long-con playing his mark). Faux spiraled out of control without the guidance of his family. After a botched bank job he was incarcerated in the Ziggursky Penitentiary until his early release for bad behavior, thanks to Arachnos. Faux thrived under the Arachnos umbrella for a time after forging his way onto their list of destined ones.

The Getaways

Faux’s rise through the Arachnos organization caught the attention of a former DeCoy family associate, the Accomplice. The Accomplice recruited Faux to join his heist crew of villains the Getaways. On his rise through the Getaways, Faux would become the criminal known as Counterfeit and rise to the rank of field leader/lookout. Trained in the art of deception, Faux would become skilled in the use of deadly traps, illusions, and the ability to teleport across distances. When combining these new skills with his ability to create duplicates Counterfeit would rise as the ultimate getaway man.

Firebrand Island

The Criminal Counterfeit would grow in notoriety throughout the criminal underground. Through a network of red-side resources, Counterfeit and the Getaways would become under the employment of the pirate Izick and Firebrand Island (a floating island scrap pile and criminal social network) to operate New Face specializing in altering egos for criminals in search of a new identity.
