Point Blank

Point Blank, born Arturo Akiro, is a human marksman and weapons expert. He is a founding member of The World Alliance.

Arturo was a member of a French special unit of the Grande Armée in the War of the Third Coalition. His primary weapon at the time was a slightly modified Musket Model 1777; he was adept at using the rifle from up to three times further than any other person to ever wield it.

Captain Mercer sent David M. Grayson, Terrance Tapper, and Marcus Fineman(Cuboid, Dr. Electronica, and Proto Mass, respectively, who had created their time-travelling "Epoch Excursion" technology) to the time period to apprehend Arturo.

Akiro's genetic signature was sought by Mercer, but the former was the last of his family line, and therefore acquiring that signature required travel to his time and getting it from Akiro himself.
