The death of his wife, Alys, during the Incident at Technetic caused Dexter Roseman to suffer from extreme depression. Not only did he lose his wife but he was left crippled as well. To help alleviate his depression, Dexter’s doctor enlisted him in an Alchem-X drug trial where he met Trasque. Trasque convinced Dexter to take aim at Technetic and CRIT as both parties took financial and status gain from the attack and subsequently Alys’ death, and gave Dexter a prototype suit of power armor. The suit gave him his ability to walk again, an arsenal of weapons, and short term flight. Donning the name Dark Vengence he joined the Masters of Mayhem with one goal. Destroy CRIT and Technetic.
