STATUS: RETRIRED: Due to his official membership in PRIMUS, Major Savage
severed his membership with the Millennial Men, although he is still a dependable
ally of the team and is amenable to combining forces with the sanctioned members
or the team such as Rook, Wrath, and Warman.

|
A Terran Marine Officer from the year 2231 AD, stranded on modern Earth during a
battle against the dimensional tyrant Istvatha V'han. Well trained and well armed,
he became involved with the Millennial Men and joined their ranks for many months.
He and War-Man in particular struck up a friendship based on mutual respect that
continues even though Savage is no longer a member of the team.
|
|
Meanwhile he was under investigation by PRIMUS, and once his story checked out sufficiently
for them to trust him, he became sanctioned.

"Major Robert Savage, Terran Marine Corps. Reporting for duty!"

THE ICARUS AGENDA
|
|
After a few more months of fighting super criminals and becoming irritated by the
seeming incompetance of PRIMUS Agents encountered in the field he approached PRIMUS
with a proposed arrangement and after some dithering at higher levels Major Savage
secured a position for himself as an Agent of PRIMUS. He holds the provisional rank
of Major, works out of the Millennium City office, and has trained a company of
PRIMUS Agents to his demanding standards. The program is called the ICARUS Agenda.
ICARUS being an acronym for Immediate Combat Action Response Units.
|
|
The ICARUS agents are selected from the cream of PRIMUS's operation agents, and
equipped with new equipment, much of it copied from Major Savage's high-tech gear.
It is a pilot program for now, and if it proves itself in Millennium City PRIMUS
intends to have Major Savage train similar units in other cities with a higher than
normal proclivity for supercrime.
|
|
Major Savage has an extremely advanced suit of modular armor and a tactical warchest
containing a complete load out of Terran Marine equipment. Everything runs on energy
cells (charges), and his suit has a number of hardpoints where he can mount equipment
for a particular mission.
|
|
Aside from his armor and gear pool, he also carries an extremely powerful multi-purpose
energy rifle, and has an extremely advanced sensor array in his helmet. Out of his
suit, Major Savage is a genetically improved specimen of a much more advanced society
that has received the best training the Terran Marine Corps could offer.
|
|
Savage was an interesting experiment. He played out much more like a military or
sci-fi character than a normal super, being very tactical in his actions and employing
lots of military style high tech equipment. Though in some respects he overlapped
both War-Man (flying blaster) and Wrath (government oriented super agent), he never
seemed to conflict, overshadow, or overstep his bounds.
