Background
[edit]Master Chief Petty Officer Malcolm “Stonewall” Cage is a retired member of the Naval Undersea Commandos and one of the senior operational figures supporting Watchstar.
During his military career, Cage participated in numerous covert operations and high-risk missions, eventually suffering serious injuries during a confrontation involving the supervillain Doctor Omega. Although the injuries permanently affected his mobility, they did little to diminish his reputation for toughness, professionalism, and tactical competence.
Following his retirement from active service, Cage became chief of security for Andrews International, where his reliability and leadership drew the personal attention of Michael Andrews.
Recognizing Cage’s unique skill set and ability to manage complicated operations, Andrews later personally selected him to oversee the sprawling operations of Watchstar Mansion and coordinate the extensive support infrastructure surrounding Watchstar activities.
As estate manager, Cage supervises security, logistics, staffing, operational readiness, and crisis response for the Watchstar organization and its associated facilities.
Skills And Personality
[edit]Despite lingering injuries, Cage remains an exceptionally dangerous and capable operative with extensive expertise in firearms, demolitions, infiltration, tactical planning, and close combat.
He is disciplined, pragmatic, deeply loyal, and utterly intolerant of incompetence. Support personnel and younger operatives alike quickly learn that Cage expects professionalism at all times.
Although outwardly stern, Cage possesses a strong protective instinct toward the people under his supervision and treats the Watchstar staff as an extended operational family.
Notes
[edit]Malcolm Cage represents the veteran military backbone underlying many superhero organizations within the Crucible Universe: the experienced professionals who keep operations functioning when the costumes and powers alone are not enough.
