File No. 633268-LD-2215-F

SUBJECT: Crossfire

The mystery man known as Crossfire appeared on the scene not long after the noteworthy metahuman events relating to the Intergen Crisis in New Orleans and The Hexagon-Santo Cristobal blow-up in Miami and Orlando. At first, Crossfire's activities appeared to be relegated to New York City and surrounding areas and with a concentration at disrupting the illicit drug trade. About a month after the first reported sighting of Crossfire in New York, the masked archer showed up in Miami, Florida (see attached file for complete background data for Crossfire's change of venue and correlated police files on the subject).

The man called Crossfire appears to fall into the "super athlete" or "skilled human" designation for masked vigilantes. That he is an archer of considerable skill is readily evident, as is his use of varied technological-based weaponry in the form of arrowheads. Crossfire also has demonstrated expertise with martial arts and the development of a fighting style that mixes this proclivity with his skill with bow and arrows.

PRIMUS observations (see filed addendum G2-387-B) has rated Crossfire's dexterity, hand-eye coordination, agility, and speed of movement as being far above the human norm, even exceeding that of any known Olympic athlete. Speculation is that Crossfire may be a low-grade metahuman with superior rankings in the abilities listed above.

Crossfire has been issued a PRIMUS Threat Level Designation of Four (4). Agents should use caution if in a situation of potential conflict, given his demonstrated skills, combat abilities, and access to numerous and varied technological-based weaponry. However, his lack of extensive metahuman abilities without access to specialized weaponry seems to indicate that normal PRIMUS containment procedures should prove adequate should Crossfire be encountered in an adversarial relationship.

APPEARANCE: Crossfire is an athletic male of stalwart build who wears a red and white costume complete with a full head mask. Notable markings include a white design that seems to be a mixture of a Holy cross and target. A mechanical ocular eyepiece also is a part of his head mask, and covers Crossfire's left eye when the mask is on. A large quiver containing an unknown but significant number of arrows is worn on Crossfire's back. He also carries a technologically based bow of flexible metallic compounds that is some five feet in length when strung.

PRIMUS observations indicate that Crossfire's arsenal of arrows contains but is not limited to the following weaponry: (1) standard, barbed-pointed broadhead arrows; (2) arrows that emit a highly pitched, very loud auditory pitch that some reports show Crossfire as calling his "sonic screamer"; (3) arrows that release a sticky, glue-like compound; (4) arrows that contain explosive devices that trigger upon contact (velocity needed to trigger release is unknown at this time); (5) at least one arrow that releases a cable by which Crossfire has been seen to descend from or ascend to heights of several stories; and (6) arrows that release an electric charge upon striking their target.

Major facts that PRIMUS does not know...

Crossfire is actually Jonathan Blake, heir to the line of the Champion Knights of Cristendom. At the time of the initial events in Miami, Blake himself is ignorant of this fact. The only person who knows is Blake's Uncle Darius - Crossfire's mentor who is training his nephew to eventually assume his rightful place.
