Brandon Drake was with the 82nd
Airborne in Afghanistan on a combat mission when he was wounded in the head.
Senator Treadwell had him returned to a special laboratory where he was
preparing a Black Ops operation against America. Drake had been called The
Scorpion because of his fearlessness and viciousness against the enemy, and the
senator that fighter in him to work against America. Project Scorpion wiped
Drake’s real memories from him, and implanted new information on a fake life.
But the project went wrong, and Drake now has a conscious, becoming The Interceptor and wanting to help
instead of kill. He learns the senator’s plans, and steals special equipment
and a flying car, and sets out to stop the special teams from carrying out
their missions against America.
The Interceptor: In the corner was a
metallic silver chest. He unclasped it and tore it open with desperate speed.
He reached inside and took out the Kevlar pants and jacket, feeding himself
into them as fast as his hands could move. Next, he took out the boots and put them
on, which was the most time-consuming aspect to ‘suiting up.’ The buckle straps
had to be secured along both ankles and calves, but it took him less than a
minute. After putting on the armored gloves, he grasped the tool belt from the
silver chest and secured it around his waist. He skimmed it with his hands to
ensure all of his weaponry was attached to the individual compartment—two
state-of-the-art machine pistols, the sonic force emitter, the laser cutter,
and a spider cable, among several other potentially useful devices. Finally, he
took the helmet and brought it up to his head. As he was about to put
it on, he froze with an almost-sixth sense that someone was in the van with
him. Looking
to the right, huddled behind the Turbo Swan, was a sight that caused his heart
to sink into despair.
Belinda Reese was the secretary to the CEO
of Carrington Industries, one of the industries Senator Treadwell had targeted
for his team to hit. When The Scorpion strikes he’s too late to save the
building but rescues Belinda and takes her with him before the assault team can
capture and kill her. They remain together, falling in love.
Tyler Drake-Faraday was adopted by
billionaire Charlton Faraday as a lad. He didn’t know he had a brother until
the end of Season One, when he watched Brandon’s trial of. He contacted him in
prison, and they planned his escape two years later.
Alex Dalton is a pal of Tyler,
and they often get into plenty of mischief together, and Alex is always ready
to assist whenever needed. He also works for Tyler’s father.
Captain David Digswell is
Tyler’s personal pilot.
Brett Fleetwood is Tyler’s
personal physician.
Emily Drake is Brandon and
Tyler’s sister. Instead of being adopted, she was placed in a convent, where
she grew up and took her vows as Sister Veronica. Asking Rome to forgive her
vows and let her go, they refuse, so she escapes from the convent in Season
Two, only to be picked up by a white slavery gang. She’s about to be sold when
Brandon learns of her existence, and they go in search of her.
Nicole Hawke was the only girl
to escape the clutches of the white slavery gang, and has been hiding under the
name Jodie Madison, when one of her friends contacts her secret codename –
Siren – about the possibility of the gang being taken down by Brandon. She
returns to L.A. to provide them with information that will help them rescue
Emily.
Deborah Beaumont is the
secretary to the head of SDT (Strategic Detection of Terrorism).
Senator Garrison Treadwell is
a rogue, wishing for war between America and other countries. He is killed at
the end of Season One.
Agent Andrew Wilmot was one of
Treadwell’s lieutenants, and eventually assumes head of SDT, and continues the
search for The Scorpion for his own purposes.
Agent Cynthia Garrett is
Wilmot’s lover and special assassin when he wants someone killed.
Mai Ling Cheung and Han Fong
run the Chinese Tong and white slavery gang. Mai Ling is killed at the end of
Season Two, but Han Fong escapes.
Turbo
Swan is a flying jet car, called a jet pod with alloy shell, tough metal, but
extremely lightweight, designed by Treadwell’s Mach Industries. Worth in excess
of a million dollars. A sonic force
emitter gun is also among his equipment.
Americans
consider Brandon Drake, aka The Scorpion, a hero, and a comic book was created
featuring him as a super hero, but called INTERCEPTOR.
