Origin

Ursaw is a human enhanced in size and strength. He did not arrive with the original arrivals to Exodus. He has only been on the planet for four months, employed by Better-World, the owners of Exodus. Once there, he finds and steals the bear warden helmet, which he uses to aid him in collecting the rest.

Ursaw first appears in Ghost Machine # 1 by Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok.

Major Story Arcs

The Wildlife Grid

Ursaw, now with a big army, confronts Swine, the wild pig warden of Exodus. He offers Swine a chance to join his army, which Swine refuses. So, Ursaw kills him and takes his helmet to give to one of his loyalists, now dubbed Warhog. He then comes across Rook (blackbird warden) and Dire Wolf (wolf warden). He attacks them, but they manage to escape He follows them to The Oasis, a hydroelectric dam turned into a safehouse by Carapace (turtle warden). House inside The Oasis was The Wildlife Grid, the broadcasting orb that connected the wardens helmets to each other.

With Warhog and Kaa (snake warden) by his side, Ursaw lays siege to The Oasis and steals the Wildlife Grid. He also takes Carapace and Dire Wolf as his prisoners and throws Rook clear of the building, left to die in a burning forest. Thankfully, Rook was saved by his birds. He raced after Ursaw's roaming fortress and fought him on top of it while Dire Wolf saved Carapace and the grid. Ursaw was still too strong for Rook, but when he ripped Rook's helmet off, it did not disconnect Rook from the blackbirds. Rook has evolved to influence the birds without the helmet. They swarmed Ursaw, knocking him off the fortress and putting him into a coma.

Since the bear helmet was fused to him, Rook and the others kept Ursaw locked up in case he ever woke up.

Powers and Abilities

Neural Network Helmet: Ursaw stole a special helmet that allowed him to control a particular group of animals to help terraform the planet of Exodus. In his case, it was bears.

• Communication: They come equipped with two-way communicators to other Wardens
• Instinct Influence: The neural connection is two-way, and the animals can sometimes influence their own instincts on to their wardens. The scientists who developed the tech believed that the animals would be too weak minded to have a significant affect on humans.

Enhanced Human: Dire Wolf described Ursaw as enhanced like many of the animals brought to Exodus, specifically regarding his size and strength.
