Overview
Calvin Scott was introduced on the Going Rogue website as the head of The Resistance. Described as an ordinary man who was once in love, but when Emperor Cole took all that away, Calvin Scott swore vengeance on the Emperor and everything he stood for. Some would call him a hero for standing up for his beliefs, some would call him a fanatic willing to do anything to get his revenge, even if it means crossing the line.

Background
Overview History
Calvin Scott dared to speak out against Praetor Tilman's theft of his wife's body, and for that he was imprisoned in the Mother of Mercy Psychiatric Hospital. When the Resistance attacked the facility, Calvin escaped in the confusion. With nowhere else to go, he joined the Resistance and has been with it ever since.
To survive in the Resistance, you have to pull more than your own weight. Calvin did that and more. What Calvin initially lacked in physical prowess, he more than made up for in leadership ability. He understood the people of the Resistance, heard their plight, and unified them into a cohesive force. Under Calvin Scott, the Resistance transformed from a laughable nuisance to Emperor Cole's worst nightmare.

Full History
Calvin Scott had never known a world without Emperor Cole. Growing up during the beginning of the Hamidon Wars, the great hero Marcus Cole's triumphant return was one of Calvin's first conscious memories. He idolized Cole for his impossible strength and force of will. Calvin had no super powers, no meaningful skills, and by the end of the Hamidon Wars, he had no family. He didn't feel like he had a purpose in this brave new world until the day he met Aurora.
The term "love at first sight" didn't even begin to describe what Aurora and Calvin Scott felt for one another. Nobody could understand what a gorgeous, super-powered Praetorian Guard like Aurora Borealis saw in a plain, ordinary man like Calvin Scott. Calvin didn't get it either, but he didn't complain. Aurora always said, "I've never met a man with more love in his heart than my Calvin." That love would, in time, change Calvin Scott from a timid and ordinary man into a bold yet obsessed leader of an underground army intent on toppling his childhood hero's perfect government, Praetoria.
When Aurora volunteered to host Praetor Tilman's consciousness, Scott didn't believe it. His wife wouldn't have done such a thing without at least talking to him first. He questioned the Praetor about his wife's decision, but those questions were ignored by both Praetor Tilman and Emperor Cole. Shortly after he questioned the Emperor, Calvin found himself admitted to the Mother of Mercy Psychiatric Hospital by the Emperor's decree and placed under Tilman's personal care. Tormented by the demon wearing his wife's body, something inside Calvin--a sensation he had never really felt before--rose to the surface: a pure, burning rage.
A chance attack by Resistance forces led to Calvin's unexpected escape from the facility. He joined up with the rebels and fled with them into the tunnels beneath Imperial City. Most of the others that had escaped were shells of their former selves. They were men and women who no longer remembered their families, loved ones, or even their names. All that was left inside these former patients' thoughts were memories of their time in the Psychiatric Hospital, each one more horrible than the last. It was in the company of these half-starved, desperate fugitives that Calvin Scott found his calling.
The next couple of years thoroughly changed Calvin. He buried his love for his wife deep beneath a sea of rage. He had found that rage was respected down in the tunnels among the freedom fighters. ("If you don't got the rage, you'll wind up in a cage," is still a popular saying among them.) He changed physically, as well. In the Resistance, people pulled more than their own weight, both figuratively and literally, to fight for the oblivious citizens living above them. Calvin bulked up, earned some scars, and even had to kill. But no one could figure out why he was always distant, always cold--colder than everyone else. Women tried to get close to him, but Calvin would have none of it.
He claims that his fight is with Tyrant, whom he once proudly called Emperor Cole, but in truth, the Resistance is just a means to an end for him. Calvin is going to get his wife back--or he's going to burn the world down around him trying.
