Appearance: Dauntless appears to be in his early to-mid-twenties despite being in his early thirties. He stands tall with a lean, muscular build, with blond hair and soft blue eyes. His costume consists of a gold armor, accented with elements that evoke a Roman warrior, complete with a spear, shield, and boots—all of which are visibly enhanced by his power.

Background: Shawn Lilywhite, known as Dauntless, is a dedicated member of the Protectorate ENE, renowned for his unique ability to imbue objects with incremental enhancements. Before his induction into the Protectorate, Shawn led a relatively obscure life.

Ability Title: Incremental Ascendancy Imbuement

Ability Assessment: Dauntless possesses the ability to infuse objects with energy, which he accumulates over time. This charge, which peaks roughly every 24 hours, can be directed into an item of his choosing, resulting in a temporary surge of power followed by a permanent enhancement. His primary equipments are his spear, shield, and boots, each gaining specific attributes tailored to combat efficiency. The spear, capable of extending with taser-like effects, and the shield, generating an electric arc upon contact, are notable for their adaptability and offensive capabilities. Additionally, his boots facilitate flight at speeds exceeding 100 mph.

Threat Assessment: Dauntless's value lies in his cumulative power enhancements and the versatility of his enhanced items. While individually his abilities may not pose an extreme threat, the potential for growth and the unpredictability of his item's evolving capabilities necessitate continuous monitoring. His combat style, heavily reliant on the properties of his enhanced gear, underscores a blend of direct engagement and support, making him a multifaceted opponent.

Operational Notes: Engagement alongside Dauntless should account for the diverse capabilities of his enhanced items, with particular caution advised against the electrically charged spear and shield. Countermeasures may include insulating protection against electrical discharges.

Threat Level: High. Dauntless's progressive enhancement of his equipment presents a scalable threat that will continue to escalate. His role within the Protectorate ENE further amplifies his strategic impact, necessitating a balanced approach to containment and engagement.

Threat Class: B-
