Contagion

== Contagion==

Contagion was one of the initial Illuminate experiments, and as a human he was induced with an overwhelming dose of the supocalypse virus. It is suspected but not confirmed that Contagion was one of the biological weapons used to proliferate the virus three years ago.

Powers/Abilities
Contagion received a larger than normal dosage of the prototype virus, and as such received unprecedented powers. Contagion was bestowed with Friction Manipulation, granting him the ability to travel faster than the human eye can perceive, as well as running on a variety of surfaces including water. This made Contagion impossible to track during the early days of the plague.

In a deadly twist of fate, he was also granted Pestilence Embodiment - the ability to spread disease and contagion wherever he treads. This ability is constantly reinforced by the virus tanks grafted to Contagions back and legs, for his natural affinity for spreading miasma did not meet the expectations of the shadowy Illuminate.

The extreme weaponization of Contagions physical body was not without ramifications, however, and 'he' was left emaciated, without vision, taste, or a coherent conciousness. Contagions ego and sense of identity effectively atrophied during his 'procedure'. Contagion has effectively become a test body for Illuminate scientists such as Salem and Animus.

History
The Illuminate  realised they had the perfect vehicle for their grand design, and after extensive cybernetic modification Contagion was let loose on an unsuspecting and peaceful world, to give the gift of the Illuminate. It has proved extraordinarily difficult to catch or even trace both before and after the apocalypse.

Now that the disease has taken hold of the entire planet, Contagion has little use beyond being an untraceable courier for the Illuminate, however there are whisperings within the organization that Salem and Animus are working together under Illuminate leadership to engineer Contagion into some kind of new plague.

Little is known about Contagion before he emerged from the Illuminates control.
