Fitchner found himself relentlessly pursued by the Sons of Ares in two consecutive entries. In the first, driven by an intense love and a desperate desire to save his wife, Brynn, from the impending execution at the hands of the Board of Quality Control, he embarked on a mission to rescue her. Despite his valiant efforts, he ultimately failed, but managed to rescue his child. In the second entry, Fitchner faced off against both of his early allies, Arturius and, in a sense, Quicksilver. His wrath resulted in the tragic demise of Arturius, while also thwarting Quicksilver's dream of expanding exploration and human habitation to other stars.
