The Avenger ...
"The Avenger nickname came to life for the interest in characters motivated by strong private reasons of the past that tend to neutral alignment and revenge. These characters often have strong traits in their personality and drive their goals single-mindedly.
The strength of this obstinacy added to impartiality and understanding that beyond good and evil, or order and chaos, is the midpoint between the current governing the human heart; The freedom and the search for balance detached patterns that represent much of what I believe are illustrated in the Avenger figure.
The avenger stubbornly seeks balance and overcoming your own way! "
