Who is Bloodstrike?

Eric Conroy's father served in the Vietnam war with his military unit, the Half-Fulls. He and his comrades were coerced into marrying the brides of a cult they stumbled upon. The cult, called the Dragon's Breadth cult, was led by a woman named Kai, a powerful mystic that used her power to try to access the Universal Wellspring, a magical portal located in the heart of the Dragons Breadth temple. Eric's father took his new bride home with him, and they had Eric a few months later. Eric left his hometown to become a mob enforcer for a mobster in Chicago until Left Hand killed his master, but spared Conroy after realizing his father had serving with him in Vietnam. He recruited Eric into the Folding Circle. On one of the first missions with the team, Eric killed a man to cover for his teammates. The action transformed his body,causing his muscles to enlarge and a symbol to be imprinted on his chest in blood.
