Kestrel, born Eric Saker, is recognized as the leader of the Omega Men, a group of unique individuals with extraordinary abilities. He played a crucial role in both the formation (following their meeting with Firebrand) and the reassembly of the team.
Contents
Background
Originally known as 'Falcon', Kestrel was central to the formation of the Omega Men. The group, consisting of five individuals, united to explore and understand their powers. However, a disagreement with Machine Girl, now known as Ex Machina, led to the group's disbandment. Kestrel, feeling a deep sense of guilt over the fallout, has recently rallied the team to reunite for a critical mission.
Abilities
Kestrel possesses a unique set of abilities including causality perception, sight-based probability manipulation, limited precognition, and exceptional skills in tactics and strategy. These abilities make him not only a formidable Omega but also an extraordinary leader and planner.
Leadership and Guilt
His leadership is marked by a sense of responsibility and guilt, particularly regarding the incident with Machine Girl. Kestrel is haunted by the potential future outcomes he perceives, especially those stemming from their past argument which he couldn't foresee or prevent.
Relationships
Kestrel shares a close bond with Crowlia, finding a sense of understanding with her. He also harbors unsaid feelings for Machine Girl, a complexity that adds a layer of personal conflict to his role as a leader. His powers, which continuously show him possible futures with those closest to him, keep him at a distance from others, as he struggles with the burden of what he knows could happen.
Personality
Kestrel is a master tactician, often burdened by the weight of his abilities to foresee probable futures. This foresight, coupled with his strategic mind, makes him a thoughtful and effective leader, albeit one constantly wrestling with the implications of his powers.
