Appearance
When he is normal, he has brown eyes and brown hair. He has light brown skin and a tattoo of a skull and crossbones on his arm. When he is Shrapnel, his eyes glow red and his skin is gray and cracked like cement.

Personality
Shrapnel is a criminal, choosing to use his new abilities/powers for personal reasons. He has a paramilitary background.

His Henchmen
One of his Henchmen tried to betray and kill him. After his other henchmen witnessed him kill the treacherous Henchman, they now obey him without question, most likely out of fear. Some of his henchmen were acting as security guards for Russell Mayhew.

Your Character
He is interested in you, as shown when he sees your powers and comments "Well, looks like I'm not the only one." The Superhero eventually defeats him and sends him to prison in Book 1, Chapter 4.

Silas Prescott
Silas visits him in prison in Book 1, Chapter 4 and makes him an offer. Given that he kidnaps Caleb at the end of Chapter 7 and mentions big plans, it is possible he is working for Silas as a Superpowered Henchman. This is confirmed when he helps Silas attempt to take over Northbridge.
