CBM: There was once a boy who grew up in a great big mansion with his mother and father. Tragically, the parents died while the boy was still a child. With only his accented caretaker to assist as a father figure, the young boy grew up and eventually turned into a dapper, dashing man of mystery who dedicated his life to fighting forces of terror. As an adult, the boy wined and dined many beautiful--yet often dangerous--women whilst railing against the forces of villainy. Yet deep down he was always haunted by his dark past.
