Hero 1

After his father, Hero One died, the rough and tumble bloke from London who would become Hero 1 was hesitant at taking up the mantle and legacy of his predecessor. The key to the mantle was blood, of which all who bore the legacy was descended from the same bloodline, of which their ancestry could be traced back to the ancient fae of England. The fae were charged long ago to keep Excalibur safe, and so the responsibilities fell to the son.

Initially, he did not want the responsibility that came with being a super-powered hero, and was angry and upset at the course his father had laid out for him. But when he found the cave where the Lady of the Lake, his future patron was, she calmed him down, seeing who he would become in the future and so his destiny was changed forever. The power from the Lady along with the sword Excalibur empowered him greatly, although he was unaware he was what would later be known as an Incarnate.
