Law was a detainee in Block 13 until his escape. He was the first ever escapee from Block 13. In fact, he is...

The first! The first touched by the Maelstrom and enhanced. Not killed...Not mutated.[1]

While in the Cinnibar Flats area, Law picked up a group of followers including parahumans Redline, Nucleus, Firebase, and Shamus. Shamus, who has the ability to join with computers, is taken over by The Motor, the computer of Vortex, while joining with it for Law. Law also had a series of encounters with Frank Lamb of Division 13.

After leaving Cinnibar Flats, Law travels to Golden City and becomes Grace's replacement as dictator.
