Duke is the kind of person who people move out of the way for when he is walking down the street, but would stop to comfort someone who was crying.  

He was kind, caring, compassionate, often trying to avoid conflict when dealing with a situation as a cop. He would visit victims, reason with criminals, and was always there for the kids of his city.  

As Bloodhound, he can be fearsome, relentless, and come across as cold or even angry.  

But it’s all an intimidation tactic, as he still holds to his compassion.  



Duke was the son of a drunk, abusive father, and a drug-addicted mother.  

In school, Duke was mocked and picked on for being poor, and teachers did nothing to help him. He was a small child, and was an easy target, until he turned 16, when he spiked up to being 6’1” and gained 100lbs of muscle. He swore he would never be a cruel as others were to him, and ended being the protector of the kids others would pick on.  

It was around this time that Duke also started to develop special “abilities”.  

He could see in the dark, hear the slightest sounds a quarter mile away, and know the direction, and discern different smells, even some up to two weeks old.  

He had gained the senses of a canine.

One day, his father tried to ambush Duke, swinging a baseball bat at him. Duke was able to hear this, and managed to disarm his father, breaking his jaw with the same baseball bat.  

Claimed as self-defense, Duke was cleared of all charges, but was kicked out of his house, and forced to drop out of school. He would end up staying with a friends family, while working odd jobs for money to pay rent and for food.  

When he finally turned 17, Duke joined the Navy, entering the SEALs.  

His skills came in handy when hunting down targets, and preparing for ambushes.  

After a few years, Duke would eventually retire, returning to Chicago, where he would start a career as a Police officer, putting his abilities to use catching criminals.  

He would spend several years in the police force, eventually reaching the rank of Sergeant.  

After London, and the rise of the Anti-Meta movement, Duke would be forced to retire from the force.  

Feeling he still needed to protect the innocent, Duke would pull together the resources he had gathered, becoming a vigilante.  

Now, as Bloodhound, he hunts down criminals, and protects the innocent.
