Biography
The story of Mute began at his home in New Britain, Connecticut, where he lived with his family. His sister was a mutant with physical abnormalities such as fur, whiskers, and a tail; he affectionately referred to her as "Squeaks", his parents kept her indoors away from society's scrutiny. Nevertheless, she was no secret and one autumn night, the family home was invaded by a trio of thugs with an agenda against mutants and those who harbored them. The boy was bound by the ankles and wrists and forced to watch the execution of his mother and father, then he witnessed the horrifying assault on his sister, who was afterwards doused in gasoline and set alight. It was the sight of his dying sister which awoke in him a fury and a power which allowed him to break free of his bonds and kill the men in his home. He then escaped the burning house and disappeared into the night.
Lost in his despair, the boy hid himself in a park and collapsed from his wounds, welcoming an inevitable death. A stranger came to him, she comforted him and watched over him, she had special gifts he couldn't explain. This woman saved him and days later, he woke in her home to the sound of a soft lapping tide and the scent of a fresh sea breeze. She introduced herself as Spectre, a mutant with gifts of telepathy and invisibility. Her ability to read minds meant he didn't have to rely on scribbling messages in a notepad in order to communicate with her, and he relished the new found freedom. Sharing her home was a young man called Tron, who had assisted in locating the boy. They walked on the beach and talked at length about the questions and doubts which haunted him. She offered the boy a new life and a cause with the Brotherhood but before he could make a decision, they found themselves surrounded by police squad cars demanding they surrender him to their custody. A confrontation broke out in which the police officers were killed, three of whom were slain by the boy himself. They promptly left the house in a stolen squad car and allowed it to burn, destroying any evidence of their presence. This was when he became Mute, and never since has he used his old and forgotten identity.
Mute was taken to Bruderschaft Manor, where he met Saladin, the Brotherhood leader, and those who worked for him. He was quickly indoctrined into the ways of the organisation and was taken to London on his first mission. During a confrontation in which his life was inexplicably spared by a lethal and mysterious opponent known as Zero, Mute started to think, given the authorities curious determination to apprehend him, that there was more to his past than met the eye. Whatever the truth pertaining to his past, Mute believes it will help him understand the unnatural skills he possesses and refuses to end his search until all his questions are answered.
