Graham Steele

Graham Steele is the calm in the storm, the man who doesn’t flinch when things go sideways. He’s spent too long in high-threat security operations to be caught off guard—whether it’s a boardroom full of power players or a Nova leveling city blocks, he’s already running scenarios and planning three moves ahead.  

Appearance:

  • Early 40s**, broad-shouldered and built like a man who never quite left the field.
  • Short black hair, graying at the temples**, always neatly trimmed.
  • Hazel eyes that miss nothing**, set in a face that looks like it’s taken a punch and didn’t bother acknowledging it.
  • A **perpetual five o’clock shadow** and an expression that rarely changes—he’s either unreadable or quietly unimpressed.
  • Dark, well-tailored suits** that don’t stand out but don’t get in his way. **No tie, always a shoulder holster.**
  • Personality & Skills:

  • Ex-military, ex-specwar operator, ex-“don’t ask”—he’s done the kind of work that leaves permanent marks, some visible, most not.
  • Doesn’t trust Novas, but out of experience, not fear. Power like that needs checks and balances, and he’s seen what happens when it doesn’t have them.
  • A master of security logistics, from physical protection to digital countermeasures. If something is worth protecting, he’ll lock it down so tight it’d take an act of God to break in.
  • Drinks his coffee black, sleeps four hours a night, and never lets his guard completely down.
  • Dry wit, but no patience for grandstanding. If you’re good at your job, he’ll respect you. If you’re reckless, he’ll have you sidelined before you know what happened.
  • Steele isn’t a man looking for a fight—he’s a man making sure the fight never reaches the people he’s paid to protect.
