Hist

"'Stagefright?'"

Agent Hist is an ex-assassin and neutral character with respect to The Gang. Trained from infancy by the Acid Assasins to be an assassin, Hist later escaped and works toward his own sense of moral good.

Hist is first introduced in the prologue of Rogue Observer, where he fights Virginia Klux in a widely-broadcasted cage match, where they easily win and announce their intentions to the large audience.

Under the Assassins, Hist grew up sheltered from the Underworld, and instead was raised in a secret academy and trained in combat, the surviving languages, programming and computer science, and general survival. The story of their birth remains a mystery to everyone including them self, and it is unknown how extensive their adaptations are, if they exist at all. To the untrained eye Hist appears entirely unassuming - apparently a Darwin - as part of Hist's training included how to blend in with other citizens of the Underworld.

Hist is one of twenty other Acid Assassins raised in a similar fashion, each of which was trained toward a different mode of assassination.

Hist lives alone at the lowest level of Sactuary. Here they can come and go without interruption. Hist also built his own robot, a crab-like hexapod that carries a succulent plant on its head. The robot moves from UV light to UV light to keep the plant sustained.
