Background

Due to his metagene Miles Leigh grew up an anthropomorphic porcupine. Ostracized because of his appearance. He gained an interest in macabre things and focus that on something creative and potentially positive, his parents got him interested in taxidermy. As an adult Miles mainly kept to himself. This all changed the day he visited a local natural history museum. Admiring a taxidermized rare porcupine specimen, he noticed something strange. Breaking open the animal, he discovered a cache of precious jewels hidden inside. When security tried to detain him he released years of pent up frustration and killed the guards. Realizing violence made him feel good, Porcupine became a brute for hire. His services have been purchased by Iron Mask, King Killer, and the Gorilla with a Human Brain in the past. Unlike many convicts, Warden Barriere has had an easy time convincing Pocupine (as Miles dubbed himself) to serving on Project Second Chance missions. As long as he gets to bust heads and spill blood, he's satisfied.
