[edit] Sportsmen

Edwin Mosley was a member of the Sportsmen, wealthy canabalistic ultras who hunted overwieght servicemen for sport. Edwin iss a leader in his industry, having used his powers to help achieve his position. They would have continued to do so, had they not crossed parhs with Alec Swan, also known as Firearm. All the Sportmen present were killed by Swan, except for Mosley who, affected by the "Moon Madness" caused by Amber Hunt flew off to join her. Two other members of the group survived, having been away on business.

The Sportsmen's wills postulated that upon death, their wealth would be divided among the surviving members; this came down to Mosley and two unnamed members. Mosley was not untouched by the "Moon Madness" though, and the two other surviving members died soon after, leaving all the resources to him.

Mosley fearing the abundance of ultra-humans, set about eliminating them. He hired the ultra-killer Rafferty, supplying him with men and weapons. Though very successful, Rafferty died at hands of Alec Swan during a battle in a church. Swan only survives with the aid of the ultra-child Rafferty was attempting to kill.
