Who is Skybreaker?

Skybreaker is a paranormal, a sort of altered human who gained his powers during the White Event, an astronomical incident that forever set the New Universe apart from our more standard reality. His powers are psionic in nature, and allow him to defy gravity at his leisure. James Colin Anderson was a petty, dark-minded jerk that was a known criminal in England, where he was your bargain basement gun runner, drug dealer, and all around piece of garbage. Of course, this all changed after the White Event. Well, not really. He was still an obnoxious and petty jerk, but an obnoxious and petty jerk with powers. The power of flight, to be exact. James was about to start a new level of smuggling when he was approached by Babel, of the Medusa Web.
