In-Character

The youngest son of the eldest son of General John Heller, Monty was more than happy to grow up with all the comforts that his upper class family provided him with. Despite his elder brother's conflict with their father, Monty and Tristan got on well together, which was useful as Monty benefited from the protection from bullies that Tristan provided in school. While not particularly athletic - due to their aunt's tendency to feed her growing nephew rather well, despite his type 1 diabetes - Monty excelled academically, predicted high grades from his private school.

Unfortunately, Tristan's enrolment into the military led to Monty having to fend for himself for the last couple of years of school, and while he was able to out-think his tormentors and find some safety with the teaching staff, he suffered the occasional beating which his smart-alecky attitude provoked. It was at this time his powers manifested, allowing him to escape from his oppressors, but not before a long-lasting fear of Halloween masks was instilled in his mind.

Being the technological nerd, Monty devoted much of his time to discovering more about his powers. Articles on the X-gene were scarce in his youth, however he did not fear his abilities and instead sought to enjoy and improve them. Excitement over his powers led to a few escapades which nearly revealed them, and a stern word from the head teacher allowed Monty to realise the importance of keeping them secret, so secret, in fact, that he even relented from confiding in his best and most tusted friend; his brother, Tristan.

After graduating from high school, Monty sought his father's permission to apply to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied for a degree in computer engineering. Leaving again with top marks, Monty spent some time back at home, toying with the head hunters before settling into a position at an already successful company which developed and produced advanced security systems. It was during these years that Monty lost contact with Tristan, forbidden to communicate with him by their angry father, who had disowned the eldest son. Upset but loyal to his father's wishes, Monty could do no more than hope that he and his brother's paths would cross again.

After his thirtieth birthday Monty received an offer to move to New York, helping a new branch of the company become established in that area. Initially, he refused, being a homebody and not wanting to uproot himself from the comfortable home he had made for himself, but a message from his sister informing him that Tristan was living in New York changed his mind. Restarting in New York, Monty set to work with his new role in developing and extending the company, and also into tracking down his brother.

Powers

Phasing - Monty has the ability to pass through solid matter, be it walking through walls or letting objects pass through him.

Teleportation - Monty can also teleport himself instantaenously to places that he has been before, and to places that he can see. His range is limited to a few miles, and requires a mild degree of concentration. This power can be accessed by his subconscious to teleport him away from danger to a place of safety.
