Terry Fitzgerald

Terry Fitzgerald always knew he wanted to give back to his country. He was a straight-A
student from grade school to high school, and had his pick of Universities. He entered
college with a dual major, Political Science and Slavic Studies. He met Al Simmons there,
and he became Al's English tutor. Terry's expert skills kept Al on the baseball team, and
together the double-dated the cheerleaders.

After college, Terry's excellent grades and special studies landed him in a bidding war
between five different government agencies. At first he opted for the FBI, but the training at
Quantico proved too exhaustive and so he joined the CIA instead. There, he interpreted
data from the Soviet block, and kept current by taking additional training courses. He ran
into his old buddy Al during one of these excursions, a language immersion school in
Monterey, California. They lived close to each other in New York, and became inseparable.

Beyond his job and an interest in hockey, Terry had little personal life. He envied Al - his
best friend had a beautiful wife and home in the suburbs - but work, service to his country,
came first. He'd spent what weekend time he had a barbecues at the Simmon's home in
Queens, but always had a book in his hand while Al was watching the game. It was a
terrible shock to Terry when Al returned from a mission in a casket.

At first, Terry would visit Al's widow Wanda, against his better judgment because he felt
she needed the space. As it turned out, what she needed was him; a pillar of strength she
could lash herself to. Terry helped Wanda and Granny through their time of grief, and
chased away reporters looking for "just one more" quote from the widow of Al Simmons,
the heroic Presidential guard. One thing led to another and soon, Wanda and Terry were
married. He felt some guilt early on, but he wanted to see Wanda taken care of. To some
extent, he was doing his friend this one last favor, but the love he felt for her surpassed
anything he'd ever felt. Eventually, they had a daughter, Cyan, and the sting of Al's death
faded. That is, until Als' ghost, or something like it, reappeared. This ghost, Spawn, saved
Terry's life several times and even tried to visit Wanda, perplexing Terry and reopening the
                                  
Meanwhile, Terry's job had it's own ups and downs. His boss at the Agency, Jason Wynn,
  had him framed for some security breaches in their offices, and had Terry's family
threatened. Though the facts proved Terry was not guilty, Wynn needed any victim to take
the fall, so scandals would not stick to him. Terry eventually got wise to the situation and
suddenly became the model employee. He transferred over to Wynn's office directly, there
to have access to the man's files and bring him down. So now, and with the help of Spawn,
Terry intends to protect his family the best way he knows: destroy the threat at the source.
