Kodiak Zhou once was a normal dude with a dream of making a difference. Having grown up in a small port-adjacent town, he spent a lot of time with nature and quiet. This led to him eventually studying ecology in college, though when he couldn't get a job in the field post-graduation, he wound up moving to the City of Mist to seek employment. He eventually became a bartender at Signal Noise, a medium-high end club. When he grew bored with his bartending, he also began doing work as an information broker, selling information to anyone who would buy it.

This would eventually bite him in the ass, as one of his clients came back with their friends and a plan for revenge. As Kodiak would sell information to nearly anyone, this meant that he was playing both sides between cops and criminals. He wasn't sure which one this group belonged to, but they ambused him when he was out behind Signal Noise for a smoke break. After a bretty one sided fight, Kodiak was left beaten half to death behind the bar, and that was when his abilities were granted to him.

He's more intimidating than he'd like to be, due to his stature and status as Godzilla's next of kin, but he really would like to be perceived as a gentle dude! That doesn't stop him from escalating nearly every conflict he's put in, though. He's blunt and down to earth, if you're his friend, you can tell him a secret and feel safe that he'll never tell a soul.
