The Avenger Corps

The most elite of PRIMUS' soldiers, the Avengers were initially drawn from the military, but as the times changed, more women and minorities from civilian life were recruited.

PRIMUS Avengers maintain a more youthful looking appearance than their ages would indicate. Avenger Gray (Los Angeles) served in Vietnam, yet he looks no older than thirty.

Avenger DJ Johnson Golden Avenger DJ (Daniel James) Johnson joined PRIMUS in 1984, directly out of the Navy. Originally the Silver Avenger for San Francisco, Johnson made national news when, in 1992, his fiancée was murdered and he single-handedly tracked down those responsible -- implicating federal agents in a large drug trafficking ring in the process. Johnson remains single and divides his time between his apartment in Washington and the home he continues to own in San Francisco.

Now 40, Johnson is 6', 200 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes. He has a quiet, commanding voice, which he rarely raises. He will squint when he becomes angry or frustrated. [Writeup in PRIMUS Sourcebook.]

Atlanta: Frank Hartigan Frank is 5'11 and weighs 200 pounds. He has brown, curly hair and hazel eyes. A native Bostonian, Frank has been posted in Atlanta since 1984, and has adopted an easy attitude. Other Avengers tease him about his "accent," half Boston, half Southern gentleman.

Boston: Melanie ("Mel") Flannagan Female Silver Avengers have always felt that they've had to work twice as hard. Mel is exceptionally beautiful, and she's had to work even harder to gain respect. She's 5'9, weighs 130 pounds, and has long auburn hair and blue eyes.

Chicago: Ernie Freeman Ernie is a family man, although a quirk of the Avenger program has meant that Avengers are unable to have children. He and his wife Terisa, a prosecutor in Chicago, have several adopted children -- and now one of their own on the way, since PRIMUS was forced to admit Avengers were *not* sterile. Few people in PRIMUS know that Terisa is the heroine Vortex, and that in her secret ID she lobbies for paranormal rights -- with her husband's full support.

Ernie is an African-American male who appears to be in his late twenties, though he is closer to 40, 6'0 and 195 pounds. [Writeup in PRIMUS Sourcebook]

Fort Worth: Robert Webster Robert is the practical joker of the Avengers. He managed to hit the Golden Avenger in the head with a piece of ice during Stephen Hawkins' wedding reception (though the favor was returned later in the evening!) Robert is 6'3, 230 pounds, with short blond hair and icy eyes. He's handsome and a serious ladies' man.

Houston: David Frasier David is known as "the quiet one" in the Avengers, and he's actually quite shy in large public gatherings. He manages to deal with the spotlight whenever it's thrust on him, though he remains the antithesis of fellow Texan Avenger Robert Webster, who is extremely extroverted. David's cases primarily involve combating paranormals involved in drug and immigrant smuggling operations.

In 1999, he married the Houston base physician, Simone Donovan, in an October wedding, and he and his wife are now expecting their first child. David has brown hair and eyes, and is 6'1 with a thin build.

Hudson City: Stephen Hawkins The son of General Hawkins, Stephen joined the Avengers soon after graduation , with his father's full approval. His assignment to Hudson City was due to merit, though, not nepotism. He's 6'1 with blond hair and green eyes, and often wears wire-rimmed eyeglasses. He married Christine Hailley in an Episcopal ceremony in 1996, an event that all the Avengers turned out for and which led to almost riotous partying. They now have two children.

Los Angeles: Joseph Gray Joseph, like many of the Silver Avengers, came from a strong military tradition. He's also the oldest Silver Avenger, though he looks like he's thirty. Joseph is 6'0 and heavily built. He plays war games in his spare time.

Miami: Barbara King Barbara was placed in Lyndon Kaufman's base. Barbara often deals with paranormal drug trafficking, and is a vocal supporter of the measure which would extend PRIMUS' jurisdiction. She's tall and thin, about 5'10 and weighing 128 pounds. She has dark blond hair which is pulled back in a ponytail.

New Orleans: Peter St. Croix Ranks with Robert Webster as a lady's man. Both men carouse together. Peter is 5'10, thin, with dark hair and eyes. He's actually from Oregon, but he fakes a Louisiana accent when he meets people who don't know him.

New York City: Anna Martinez
Anna became Avenger following the defection of Avenger Darin Falswell in 1995, though she was not eager to accept the post. Anna was just twenty-five at the time, a newly minted Assault Agent who had distinguished herself in combat few times. What most people don't know is that she was handpicked by Vasquez, because he believed she would be willing to work with him. Over the past few years, he has manipulated her in a number of circumstances, but she's gotten wise to his game and has begun to fight back.

Anna is currently dating a New York-based FBI agent, whom she met on the job. She's 5'6, with brown hair and eyes and speaks with a faint Puerto Rican accent.

Philadelphia: Eric Harper The second of PRIMUS' two African-American Silver Avengers, Harper was selected for the post after one of the original Silver Avengers developed an allergy to Cyberline treatment. Harper is 6'2 and 210 pounds.

Phoenix: William Baker William is 6'1 and 225 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Married last year, he and his wife made headlines when they adopted two Bosnian orphans.

San Francisco: Maria Chow Maria calls herself "The PC SA." Her office is a collection of knickknacks and is something of a PRIMUS running joke. She is an amazing workaholic, though she's known more for her flamboyant relationships with celebrities -- actors, musicians, paranormals -- than for her diligent efforts to keep San Francisco safe. Recently, she has taken Avenger Martinez under her wing in an effort to wise the poor girl up -- Maria is flatly amazed anyone could grow up in NYC and be so incredibly naive.

She's tiny, about 5'3 and 105 pounds, with long black hair and brown, almond-shaped eyes. [Writeup in PRIMUS Sourcebook]

Seattle: Richard Stephens Richard is 6'0 and heavily built. He has black hair and brown eyes and freckles across his nose which make him look like a young man, though he's in his late thirties. A Marine prior to entering PRIMUS, Richard's base is very well run, and has recovered well since the bombing.

St. Louis: Alex Richardson Alex coordinates much of the Avenger Games material, and is an excellent tactician. He's also a chess Grandmaster, and there is currently a $367 pot for the PRIMUS agent who can beat him in a game with no handicaps. Alex is also a judo expert. He strongly dislikes paranormals -- the hero and villain variety -- and has been reprimanded on several occasions for brutality in combat. Most villains, when facing him for a second time, will surrender rather than fight. His tactical skills are unparalleled in PRIMUS.

Alex dates but seldom, but when he does, his girlfriends tend to be beautiful but on the lower end of the IQ scale. He drives a BMW roadster and is seen jogging every morning in his upscale suburban neighborhood. He's 6'4, with blond hair and brown eyes. [Writeup in PRIMUS Sourcebook]

Washington D.C.: Sherri Peters Sherri, 5'8 and thin with short brown hair and hazel eyes, was one of the first female assault agents. Promoted often, when Armstrong defected in 1991, Sherri was selected to undergo treatment. She gets along well with DJ, though she's been rumored to call him "Sweet Pea" behind his back (the Golden Avenger's office designation in Washington is Suite P.)

Sherri and her husband have just welcomed their second child, and she has just succeeded in convincing Colonel Glenn that the Jonathan Hawkins building should provide child care for PRIMUS agents and support staff.
