Background: "When a wave of crimes began to plague the New York World's Fair 
of 1939, it seemed the event might well collapse. But then a mysterious caped 
figure appeared to serve as its special protector. This dark avenger was known
as Gravestone [or Fantom, to some]. Very little is known about Gravestone, 
other than the fact that he appears to he hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of
years old. He comes and goes at will, favoring the cloaking shelter of night 
and shadows. Gravestone is a true mystery man in every sense of the term. 
There are rumors that men who have tried to uncover his secrets have 
disappeared, never to be seen again. It is rumored that he may actually be 
from another dimension or world other than our own. Of the two, this rumor 
has garnered the most support for truth." - Protectors Handbook

Facts in Gravestone #1 reveal he dies periodically, then must fight his way 
out of the underworld. The imagery of his personal hell, including the river 
Styx and Charon, implies that he was born in ancient Greece, perhaps as the 
son of a god (Phobos seems likely). He is apparently capable of bringing 
people back with him should he chose, but rarely does because his own 
continued existence is enough of a threat to the cosmic Balance.


Writer's Notes:  No package deal bonus was taken, since I feel those should 
only be for Heroic level characters.
