Complications:
Acceptance - Arden just wants to be accepted by society for who he is.
Motivation: Tenacity - Arden's tenacity is remarkable. Once faced with a problem or enemy, he is extraordinarily reluctant to let go. (DC 25 vs Will)
Enemy - Due to his interferance in the money-laundering world of Las Vegas, Arden is hated by both the mob underworld and super villain community as a whole.

Known Background: Arden David Jacobs was a detective for the Las Vegas Police Department working deep cover to infiltrate a money-laundering ring running throughout the city. Before he was able to gather enough evidence to close the case, though, he was discovered and beaten almost to death. Thrown into the trunk of a car, his body was being driven out to be buried in the desert, but the driver's sense of direction and time were both severely flawed. After driving for hours and spotting Halfpint Range, the mobster finally pulled over and dug a hole, dropping the body inside. What the clueless driver didn't know was that he buried the cop in the middle of Plutonium Valley, irradiating the unconscious body. When Arden awoke, his body was enhanced, but he was suffering from temporary amnesia. Finding an ID hidden in his clothes, he was able to learn his name and address, finding his way back to Las Vegas and picked up some personal items. He then went out, finding himself at the Starchylde Casino as the Lucky Sevens (later known as the Aces) came together.

During that case, Arden's memories started to return, leading him to abandon the newly-formed group in search for answers and justice. He returned to the mobster's hangout to find it abandoned, them having seen him alive and with powers on the news coverage. They had packed up and left town, leaving a void in the underworld that would be contested for years to come. Determined to bring them to justice, he started a state-wide manhunt that continued until every one of them were behind bars.

Having completed his assignment (albeit in a method that no one could have expected when he was first assigned to the case), Arden returned home to Vegas. Due to his radiation exposure and the powers that resulted from it, Jacobs has recently been reassigned to the federal bureau Strikeforce, bringing him full circle with the superhuman community of Las Vegas.

Arden Davis Jacobs was created, designed and played by Scott Meyers. He is now played by Neil Lindgren.
