ABILITIES:
SKILLS:
WEAKNESSES:
- Phasing: Abraham is able to phase through solid objects as if they were never there to begin with. This also allows him to phase through the ground. This ability requires concentration to maintain and if he loses concentration while phasing through something, the consequences can prove deadly.
- Flight: He's able to fly at great heights, speeds, and distances. He can't fly at the speed of a jet or airplane but can fly faster than the average non-powered person can run.
- Enhanced Strength: While he doesn't have superstrength, his strength is roughly triple that of an average man with his build.
- Enhanced Durability: He's able to withstand more than the average non-powered person and take more of a punch.
SKILLS:
- Combat: Abraham has spent years training in Aegis as well as gaining experience through missions, he's become an excellent and highly skilled fighter and can easily hold his own in a battle.
- Leadership: Despite his prickly nature, he's an excellent leader, having experience leading the covert infiltration unit before being promoted to the status of Pillar.
- Stealth: His specialty when it comes to missions and combat in general is stealth. He has years of experience in the art of remaining unseen and carrying out covert missions.
- Tactics: He's an excellent tactician.
WEAKNESSES:
- Only Human: While he is durable, Abraham is not invulnerable. Weapons and punches can still hurt him as can poisons and diseases.
- Physical Toll: Depending on the strength he uses his power at and how much he pushes his limit, his ability often takes a toll on his body. This can range from headaches, physical pain, a bloody nose, coughing up blood, vomiting, and even passing out.
- Anger Issues: It's easy to anger him or even simply frustrate him. This often plays into his unlikable reputation and even with all his training and experience, this risks affecting him getting the job done on missions.
- Electricity: He can't phase through electricity. Even if he's in the process of phasing, electricity can still shock and hurt him.
- Interrupted: If his concentration is interrupted while he's phasing through something solid, thus causing him to stop phasing, it's a death sentence for him. If he's phasing through a wall, it will cut right through his body. If he's phasing through the ground, he'll be trapped with dirt in his body and if that doesn't kill him, he'll have to dig his way out before he suffocates.
Appearance
GENERAL: Abraham stands at six feet and one inch tall. His skin is an ecru shade. His hair is short and dirty blonde. His eyes are a stormy blue. He prefers dressing in either black, white, or shades of grey but will occasionally throw in another color. He's almost always found wearing a leather jacket when it's not too warm.
COSTUME: As The Phantom, Abraham wears a white long sleeve shirt and white pants. His belt is black as are his boots that stop just short of his knees while his gloves are white. He wears a black leather jacket on top of his shirt, unzipped. Over his head he wears a white mask, covering his whole head and thus his whole face with black over wear his eyes are.

Personality
Abraham has gained an unlikable reputation for a reason. He has a specific book he likes to play out of - in the metaphorical sense of course - that most often aligns with Aegis' own rules. It's often clear that there's a specific way Aegis would operate if he was the only one in charge but at the same time it's also obvious that while he doesn't always agree with his fellow Pillars, he respects them a great deal.
He can easily get frustrated at people and can be quick to snap at them, often needing to take time to cool off afterwards. He isn't one to hold back his emotions - at least not typically and definitely not when it comes to anger. He can be ruthless when he needs to be, especially with enemies of Aegis or specific criminals - such as rapists, murderers, etc. He's known for taking a hard stance on illegal vigilantes yet also extending his hand when recruitment becomes a possible option.
He's also gained a reputation as being willing to do whatever it takes to get a job or mission done, especially when lives are at stake. This most often seems to come into play when he's on missions with the covert infiltration unit. He's also not afraid to leave details out of reports in order to keep doing what he feels is right - a trait he's seemed to gain the longer he's been in Aegis.
However he's also a very kind man to those he cares about, including the members of Aegis - so long as an individual isn't constantly irritating him - and is protective by nature. He's especially protective over the members of the covert infiltration unit he leads as well as the younger members of Aegis.

History
Abraham was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He was in his third year of college, at the age of twenty one, majoring in criminology, when the accident happened. He was walking home with his younger brother, who was in middle school at the time. His brother ran off and decided to take a detour through an abandoned chemical factory, Abraham rushing after him, only for the two brothers to discover it wasn't abandoned.
As he was trying to explain to angry security guards that it was an accident he and his brother were there, the factory building became collateral damage for a fight between two people with powers. The fight caused large damage to the building, spilling the chemical everywhere. There was an explosion that sent Abraham and his brother flying, the two of them cut up and landing in a pool of that chemical. The next thing he knew, he was awake in a hospital bed, feverish and sick. While he recovered, he later learned his brother hadn't survived.
His powers manifested shortly after. He dropped out of college and moved to Astaria City all on his own because he'd heard it housed the main headquarters for Aegis. He joined Aegis, dawning the identity of The Phantom, and quickly rose up the ranks. He was first scouted out as a candidate for its covert infiltration unit and through the years he eventually found himself leading that unit. His experience and leadership skills eventually got him chosen as one of the newest Pillars of Aegis.
