Background

Born into poverty and quickly smuggled out of Greece by illegal adoption, Evan found himself abandoned in Rome at the age of ten after his new family fled the Carabinieri. He was welcomed into the fraternity of homeless men and shown the other side of society, which he grudgingly accepted as his new life. As a teenager, Evan drew the attention of Remus who knew of the boy's active ubergene. Evan's life was thrust into chaos again when he incinerated a house he was sheltering in, and as he fled, Remus moved in to manipulate the young mutant. Evan followed Remus and was exposed to training and experimentation as a test subject in the DIYUbergene Project.

In 1999 Evan appeared as Torch, infiltrated the Dawnstars base in Venice and went about destroying all lives and property in his reach. The base was destroyed and so were many lives. In the confusion, Evan escaped into the employment of Remus and dropped off the radar for a few years. When he returned he was part of Gauntlet, a motley collection of assassins who had accepted bounties on the heads of former and current Dawnstars. What followed was a series of massacres, culminating in a confrontation between Gauntlet and the Dawnstars in Spain.

Remus was eventually usurped from his criminal throne by an unknown party (probably a combination of TITAN and SUMMIT), who destroyed his network of contacts and institutions across Europe in less than a week. Remus vanished and Torch was left in the custody of Spanish police.

When he was rescued by Medusa he had come to realise that his entire life had been one of manipulation and vowed never to be controlled again. He agreed to work for Medusa and the Legion as long as it was as an equal member, with equal benefits.

Personality
Salvo grew up in poverty and has never forgotten the peasant sensibilities of his brief upbringing. He hoards money, withholds information like a collector of secrets, and has developed a desire to look out for himself first. Since fighting free of Remus' control he has become more of the person he always wanted to be: free and able to do as he pleases. He still has strong memories of his derelict past although he is actively trying to erase all traces of that past and remodel himself as a powerful and dangerous uberhuman mercenary.
Quote
Quote: "Hear the cracklin'?"

Quote About Him: "There's no way that little imbecile could have managed this on his own." - Joca Vanderkooie, aka Valkyrie of the Dawnstars, discussing Torch's apparent success at destroying the original Dawnstars' base.
Powers

Salvo is a (once sadistic) pyrokinetic who enjoys using his powers to cause destruction and injury. He is able to generate intense heat and flames, as well as the ability to absorb and reduce the effects of fires and heat. His body is constantly generating heat and this also provides him with protection from the elements: he is never cold. While his control has increased over the flames he creates, his sadism and raw power has subsided. Salvo is a competent mercenary focusing on control over pure destructive capabilities.

Appearance

Since regaining control of his life, Salvo has become more confident and self-assured and this has had an impact on his appearance. Whereas once he was sickly and nervous, now he appears to be like any other young man, full of bravado and testosterone. He has several piercings and a flame tattoo. His burgeoning confidence has even given him something of a magnetic charm, drawing female attention and affection. Salvo has grown into adulthood in the recent months with the Legion and cast away his mostly neurotic former self.

Like all members of Legion, Salvo wears a highly resistant black body armour with dark grey pads on the legs, shoulders, boots and gloves. His mask has a stylised skull motif with green eyes (infrared visor), and this symbol is repeated on the shoulder pads. There is a Legion symbol on the left side of his chest: a lightning-like 'L' in yellow.
