He is a man who was given the job of protecting something so large he had to stop being a person to do it, so long ago he cannot remember what he wanted before the assignment, standing on a building older than the city around it because the only place he feels oriented is above everything he is responsible for, never inside it. His deal is he chose the city over himself so completely that the self is now just the cape and the height and the watching, and the tragedy is he is so good at it that nothing has ever made him stop and ask if the trade was worth it.
