History
Nightflyer is an in vitro gestated human (or replicant), the product of a 26th-century mega-corporation’s experimental project to develop an enhanced human for use as a soldier or spy. He was decanted from an artificial womb and skills and knowledge fed into his mind while his body was forced to mature to a physiological age of 16 in only two years. There followed months of physical and mental therapy until he was able to function normally, and years of testing his capabilities. His results far surpassed the expectations of his creators.
At some point during his testing, Nightflyer discovered that he was being trained as an assassin and covert operative, and despite the corporation’s attempt to condition him to be obedient, he rebelled and resolved to escape from them. When he discovered that the first faster-than-light space ship was being built in orbit, close to a space station regularly used in his space adaption testing, it seemed he had found his escape route. He managed to secretly acquire information which he believed would allow him to pilot the ship, and laid plans to allow him to take control of it.
Nightflyer successfully made his break and gained control of the ship, but the jump to trans-light speed went wrong and the ship was flung two centuries backwards in time.
The ship arrived, almost completely destroyed, on Earth in the year
2350. Nightflyer was found in the wreckage by
Special Police investigators. Although his exact origins remained
a mystery, he was classified as a 'normal' superhuman and found mentally and morally suited to be inducted into the Special Police. He volunteered for a special mission back
through time with the group that would become known as
