Angus McLeod started his career fighting crime at the age of twenty, hunting down witches in the Highlands of Scotland. He was a witch hunter. Angus didn’t know that he was an Uber until the World War II, when an German Uber known as Iron Cross was parachuted into Scotland on a mission to kidnap Winston Churchill. Angus was barely able to defeat the German powerhouse, but that encounter shaped Angus’s life.

Angus became aware that other people in the world had powers similar to him. Throughout the war Angus used his powers to protect Scotland, and the costumed super-hero called Witch Hunter. While Angus was well known across Scotland he wasn’t as well known in rest of the United Kingdom. The Liberty Legion tried to recruit Angus into their ranks, but Angus refused and remained in Scotland.

After the war, both Majestic and Knightwatch tried to recruit him as well, but again Angus refused. For a few years Angus traveled across the globe fighting crime where ever he encountered it. Eventually, however, Angus settled down in Aberdeen, and started raising a family. However, it turned out that his children were destined to be Ubers as well. Angus’s son Hamish went on to be a famous super-hero known as Tartan. Tartan was a lot like his father in his distrust for the English.

However, it was Rose McLeod who was the granddaughter of Angus, who was to be a tragedy for Angus and Hamish. She was the super-heroine known as Thistle. Her death at the hands of drug runners caused a lot of pain for the pair. Hamish with the help of a Buddhist monk named Zhang Qian gained revenge against the drug runners, at the cause of giving Hamish a heart attack.

Angus has trained most of the generations of the Clan McLeod Ubers, and even though he’s in his nineties, he keeps up with it. James “Jimmy” McLeod, who’s the only child of Rose has shown powers similar to Angus’s and Angus has been training him hard to be a great crime fighter. Jimmy has taken on Angus’s old code name, and is now known as Witch Hunter II.

Angus considers himself a patriot, but not a patriot in the usual sense. He has strong feelings about how Scotland needs to be independent of England, even after the war and all the years in between he maintains this stance. Angus has been joined in this cause by many of his countrymen, but Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom. Angus is known for his stubborn streak, and barely deals with the English.

Once Angus was a loner, traveling across the Highlands, chasing after outlaws and other supernatural threats. Of course some thought of him as an outlaw, but Angus has never let that stop him. Over the years Angus has become less of a loner, especially now that he’s the head of the clan McLeod. Instead Angus is a ardent supporter of the clan and its members. While not as spry as the younger members, Angus McLeod has been known to hold out against a few lower powered super-villains. For Angus, it’s his knowledge and skills that account for more than his power.

Angus has gotten old, and has developed a case of angina, which plagues him at times. Zhang Qian is constantly on him to take his medicine. Angus retired from active crime fighting decades ago, but keeps his hand in the business, going so far as to help train his replacement, his grandson to become Witch Hunter II. Otherwise, Angus is feeling as old as a man in his sixties. Too bad Angus is in his nineties.

"Me thinks I smell a witch."

Angus is a self-trained hand-to-hand combatant. He has a lot of experience fighting. His great speed allows Angus to strike and then retreat while his foes are still reeling. Of course being in his nineties, Angus is a little slower, plus he has abandoned using a dirk for a weapon. Angus is proficient in a number of weapons, but prefers to just to use his bare hands.

While Angus is an Uber, he doesn’t see himself as such. He thinks his powers come from a mystical origin. Angus has two distinct powers. The first is that he’s able to sense at a distance anyone who has Uber powers. Closer up, Angus can see the Uber powers as an aura around the Uber. With age this power has grown. Few can escape detection from Angus.

His second power is defensive in nature. Any Uber touching him will find a portion of their power transferred to Angus. The transfer always goes to his strength, at times making Angus super-humanly strong.

Angus once was a very muscular man, and was one for most of his life. His life in the Highlands required him to be physically fit, and when he left Scotland and fought crime across the globe, he maintained his physicality. Now into his nineties, and developing angina, Angus has lost a little of his earlier physique. His once bright red hair has turned grey with age, but it’s still untamable.

Angus still prefers to wear traditional Highlander clothing, a kilt, long sleeved shirt, and well-worn boots. When fighting crime Angus wore a bullet proof cloak he got from the German super-villain Iron Cross. He has since given the cloak to Witch Hunter II.
