| AEGIS Notations for Icarus Authorized Personnel Only Haris Collins was born in Wales to an executive father named Arthur Collins and a school teacher mother named Renata Collins. His early life was very normal, but his family moved around. Moving often made it hard for Haris to make friends, but he always found good friends in books, which he read voraciously. He became an amateur youth author, writing for various publications that accepted mail in submissions. Haris was sent to some of the finer schools and when he attended Oxford, he excelled in writing and literature. He received his degree a year early and began his post-graduate work with little delay, completing his doctorate in literature within just over two years, an astounding accomplishment, but for Haris, it was still unfulfilling. He accepted a post in New York but quickly grew tired of it. He became enamored of the arts and culture in Soho and Greenwich Village, and such was where he met his girlfriend, Maria Almarez. He and Maria enjoyed a short but exciting affair and in mere weeks, Haris proposed to her. Maria asked him to go to Venezuela with her to meet her parents and Haris eagerly agreed. The surprise he got when he entered her parents home was completely unexpected -- two men with guns. They abducted him and Haris quickly surmised from their conversation that he was targeted because of his money and position -- he was being delivered by a group called the Sanguo Brotherhood to someone called the Matar Sanguo, aka the Killing Blood. Once in a mountain facility, Haris was subjected to a number of medical tortures. After going through extensive mental conditioning, Haris was subjected to Q-tech experimentation, where Matar Sanguo sought to imbue in him Quasar powers, as he had apparently done to dozens of others. Haris expressed Quasar powers, just as Killblood had intended, and began training by Killblood’s men. Shortly after his first mission, he was rescued by mercenaries hired by his parents. In a daring raid, a mercenary group known as the Akili Moja snuck into the facility where he was being held. When Haris returned home, it took months of therapy heal his trauma. He wrote almost nonstop in these months, his imagination purging his mind of harrowing nightmares, some imaginary and some real, that took root during his captivity. Eventually, the stories came to be published as the "September Falls" series. The novels were immediate successes and Haris became a celebrity almost overnight, both because of his writing and because his Quasar nature had been revealed by reporters trying to dig up a story on this new superstar author. Haris still had no identity for his Quasar and overtly refused to use his abilities for fear of awakening the horrible instincts implanted by Killblood’s conditioning. His desire to remain outside of the world of Quasars and the violence inherent in the use of his powers kept him as just a celebrity for months, writing and Haris went through a period of celebrity and was granted exempt status by AEGIS. He would have gone on being a celebrity had it not been for the 2022 Q-Games attack. Haris was not at the event but he knew people who both died and survived the attack. He made a decision that no matter what his personal stance on physical violence may be, he had a duty to use his powers. Arthur Collins put in him contact with Dr. Xavier Brooks, a scientist on the US West Coast who was preparing an enterprise involving Quasars. After a short discussion and some evaluation, Dr. Brooks took on Haris, and they came up with the moniker Slipstream. With the aid of a Quasar named Mindario, a retired psychic hero, they purged Haris of the conditioning hidden in his mind by Killblood. Removing the blocks also enabled Slipstream to unlock his powers, removing the blocks that kept him at Beta level. Slipstream began his training to become a Quasar hero and began his quest to finding a way to not just helping people escape reality, but to making their realities better. |
