Name: Jean Vilain
Alias: Various code names depending on mission.
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Race: Unknown
Alignment: Evil
Canon or Original: Original
Date of Birth: Unknown
Place of Birth: Unknown
Physical Appearance: Jean's physical appearance can greatly vary due to his power. Most of the time he takes the form of an athletic looking man with brown hair and a height of 5'10. He has a deep belgan accent and a constant look of unwavering confidence.
Pic Base: Jean Claude Van Damme
Special Abilities:
1.Master of Disguise: Jean can absorb the knowledge of those he touches. He can take their memories, knowledge, and mannerisms. Should the person he touches have any sort of supernatural powers, the only thing he will gain is an understanding of how they work. Copying someone's powers is beyond his capabilities. When synced together with his shapeshifting abilities, he can take on a whole different persona without anyone having a clue that they are talking to an impostor. Jean can change everything about his physical form. From just his simple appearance from all the way down to his scent and energy signal.
2.Master of Darkness: As a hitman, the shadows are an invaluable tool to Jean. He can sink his entire body into them to move around quickly throughout darkness. He has total control over them allowing him to create, control, manipulate, materialize and summon darkness. His powers are at their strongest in the night where he can turn darkness into actual melee weapons and increase his strength and durability. While he can use his powers in the day, it takes greater effort and more energy to do so.
Strengths:
Jean possess a very high intellect from absorbing the knowledge of so many people. He's almost always four steps ahead of his opponents. He is a master tactician capable of planning strikes that have brought down opponents much stronger than him. His overwhelming combat experience makes him a force of nature to contend with after absorbing the knowledge of so many martial artists.
Weaknesses:
Arrogance, cockiness, pride. Even Jean is not above these traits. Despite his control of information, even Jean has fai… had to replan his mission due to unforeseen variables. He can be caught off guard by unexpected surprises that can ruin his machinations if he didn't leave enough wiggle room in his plans for error. While he is stronger than the average human, Jean isn't built like a tank to take constant damage from strong opponents. Even a deadly glass dagger is still made of glass.
Weapons:
1.Armory: Jean has many contacts with arms dealers and explosives experts around the world. His resources allow him to access to machine guns, pistols, silencers, and explosive devices such as c4.
2.Scrambler: A small device about the size of a cell phone that has several features to block electronic signals, telepaths, and knock out electronics. When the power is turned up to max, it can even disrupt the power of his enemies, though this also can affect him. Max power can only be used for a few seconds before it runs out of power.
3.Toxins: Jean possesses vast variety of different poisons and toxins he uses on his victims to disable or cripple them in pain. While not too useful in an actual fight where an opponent will be on guard, these toxins are perfect for sneak attacks and planned hits.
History:
There are whispers around the world of a hitman that has never failed a kill, a thief that has never missed his mark, a crime lord the authorities could never catch, a monster that hides in the shadows. There are those who believe in ghosts and the Boogeyman. The ones that don't have never met Jean Vilain. Most governments believe him to be a myth invented to hide criminal organizations true bosses. The underworld of crime never call upon him, but he always finds them when his services are required. He hides among the world. Watching, listening, and manipulating. He could be anyone at anytime and yet he is no one. If you are his target then make peace with your God. Records of his mythical status go far back. Some believe he helped Kane kill Abel. Others suspect that he killed Lincoln. Some even think he was the Mastermind behind both world wars. No one will ever know and no one will ever see.

"November 23nd 1963. This agent James Hosty conducting an interrogation with suspect Lee H Oswald. Mr Oswald is under arrest and being held for the murder of the President of the United States John F Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit. You claim you didn't shoot either of them."
"No. No it was not me. It was him it was the other guy."
"Which other guy? Eye witnesses have fingered you as our guy. This would save us a lot of time if you just confessed."
"Look the officer he was a mistake. Don't you understand? He could be anyone. He's using me for the fall."
"Who?"
"He has no name. He knows that I know. I'll be dead before the week is up."
"Playing crazy isn't going to help your case."
"You don't understand he's…."

Notes from Dr Indiana Jones
"Upon returning to Egypt we stumbles upon a very old tablet. It is believed it was moved here from somewhere in the middle East during the later years of the crusades. It had been hidden away, but from old paintings and similar forms of art, it seems to be a portrayal of the slaying of Abel by Kane. The only difference is that this carving depicts a third party surrounded by shadows…"
The notes continue about the shape and how old it really is

"Rumors and speculation continue around the criminal empires of the world as well as the political landscape of our foreign allies and enemies. We still don't know if whoever we are dealing with is an organization or an individual. All we know is that whoever they are, they are well funded, well armed, well trained, and well informed. I have been working for years to find out more about who this assassin could be, but he is a ghost. Most of my superiors have dismissed the claim that it is one mastermind. I still think he's out there. Some of us of taken to calling him the man with no name."
Psychiatric Ward Los Angeles California Patient Doe, Johnathan
Doctor’s Notes August 1 1992
"My patient continues to suffer from delusions that there is man that moves around the shadows out to get him. He continues to say he didn’t murder his family and that the shadows did it. Police found traces of LSD and cocaine in his system at the time, but it is my belief that the drugs have caused permanent damage to his mind. He will most likely be committed for the of his life. His remaining family member will take over his vast fortune. Patient Doe, Johnathan claims that said family member is in on it and that he made a deal with the shadow man to take his money away."
