Desmund T. Gray (Passive yet Deadly)
Born on March 3,1994 to Sharon and Dennis Gray, Desmund is an adopted child from Call, Columbia, South America. Born from biological parents, Konan and Sharanda Mendez, native to South America.

A young, talented martial arts prodigy, once thought to be nothing more than a hyperactive child in early years, is now one of the most top ranked teenage martial arts practitioners on the East Coast of North America. At 9-years-old, Desmund was sought to show much promise in Hapkido, a South Korean Olympic Martial Art sport, that at the age of 14 it was predicted he would show extreme prowess and discipline surpassing many children his age. Desmund proved that prediction wrong. His hard work and determination earned him a 3rd. dan Black Belt in the martial art at the age of 12. Later, at the age of 14, young Desmund discovered Taekwon-Do, another South Korean martial art.

Desmund's fascination and love for fighting lead him to be a powerhouse in many state tournaments that others sought to become, but it also came at a price. Desmund's "layed back" exterior is true, but his inner disposition is nothing to scoff at. On July 26, 2010, a record of Desmund's sparring match against an opponent at a World Mudo Federation (WMF) Tournament was obtained. According to officials, Desmund got so worked up that he put the opponent into shock and later had a seizure and was forfeited from any further sparring matches that following day. Other reports outside of tournaments state that Desmund has prided himself on building a strong foundation on leg strength. His highest record of pounds of pressure from an "Axe Kick" is recorded at 234 lbs. of force coming straight down; enough to bend two medal pipes with ease. Desmund has studied a total of six (6) different martial art styles, each seemingly deadlier than the last. His homeland style, Capoeira is one of these fighting styles learned. His elder brother, Jay'Shawn Gray, taught the style to Desmund at the age of 10 during his time learning Hapkido. Jay'Shawn died on May 30, 2011 due to an overdoes of pain medicine in his home. Desmund was overwhelmed with sadness and a seemingly bitter hatred toward his brother's death.

After the ordeal, Desmund was training harder than ever. His determination to surpass anyone who he believed to be a more seasoned martial artist than he was came as a strong rivalry to many. Many accepted this challenge, and many lost. He is the holder of more than eight (8) 1st. place trophies in state Taekwon-Do and Hapkido tournaments. It is believed by many that he has obtained the ability to control and harness Ki energy (the energy rooted in the stomach). Many believe he can manifest his Ki and manipulate it at his own will. It was never confirmed a true statement.

Currently, Desmund is rumored to be a skilled Ninjitsu practitioner. Training in espionage in secluded areas closed off from the public. This also cannot be confirmed.
