Steven is the founder of the guild Ascendant. He is cruel, merciless, and not much of a rule follower. His guild is known to take on the more controversial mercenary jobs. It is unknown what his motives are for creating a guild.

Ascendant and Sovereign are rival guilds because of an animosity between Steven and Kyle , the leader of Sovereign.

Biography

He is first introduced in the series in Season 1 Episode 3 when he kills a hired geneticist for failing to fulfill his requests, but it is unknown who the geneticist was, what he was doing, and why Steven hired him. Although the geneticist claimed he had been serving Steven for 20 years, Steven rid himself of him anyway for making a mistake.

Later in Season 1 Episode 5, Steven hired Laura from Sovereign to do a job 'only she could fulfill'. His reasons behind this are unclear, but it is evident Ascendant's leader has something up his sleeve. There it is shown that Steven knows not only how to work around the rules, but also work around the minds of other people to attain what he needs.. Steven seems to know a relative bit of Laura's background information.

In Season 1 Episode 7 , Steven sought out help from Gun , a Terrace fighter.

Steven sent Laura to deliver a relic similar to the one Jack gave to Melissa (it may, in fact, be the same one). This relic holds a perceptible amount of importance in Sovereign; when Jack gave it to Melissa, he said that the worker was 'insistent on letting her have it", and Gun seemed just as keen to possess one as well. According to Steven, the relic is produced from energy crystals imbued with souls of the dead.

Steven has been described to be greedy for power, although not seen as a threat. He also possesses 'crystals'; although not much more is known about that.

Abilities

Steven has been shown to be very powerful. He was able to eliminate a man with no apparent effort. Steven controls blue lightning, which tends to form spherical shapes in its natural state.

Lightning Sphere: Though it is Steven's most simple attack, it can amass energy to enter further stages of power. It consists of a simple ball of blue lightning that fits in the palm of Steven's hand.

Stage 1 - The first stage is the most basic form of the sphere - a simple ball.

Stage 2 - In the next stage, a single ring of electricity surrounds the initial sphere.

Stage 3 - The sphere increases in size, and another ring accompanies the first, spinning in the opposite direction.

Stage 4 - In the final stage, the sphere further increases in size and power and is beginning to show signs of explosiveness like red lightning due to the huge amount of energy compiled into one ball. The inner part of the sphere begins to glow a deep, dark blue/purple.

Lightning Blast: The lightning spheres that Steven controls can be thrown to create massive blasts of lightning energy.

Lightning Sphere Juggle: Steven summons multiple balls of lightning that float in the air in a ring around him that he can control at will.

Lightning Cage: Steven is able to surround an enemy in a cage of blue lightning that either paralyzes or causes the captive to become unconscious. Maintaining the cage requires some focus, but Steven's prowess at energy control is so practiced that it is easy for him to do while focusing on something else.

Relationships

Kyle: There is a loathing between Kyle and Steven. However, the two have never been shown together before and the feud they wage is inexplicable as of yet.
