Swordsman

The Swordsman is a street-level villain who typically serves as hired muscle for other villains.

Description
The Swordsman is a familiar face amongst the rank of Colonial Bay's costumed career criminals. At a glance he's a well-built man in his fifties, with kempt white hair and a similarly white beard. He stands over six feet tall with a commanding air to the way he carries himself. He wears an eyepatch to cover his right eye, which he lost during a previous caper. A scar that parts his right eyebrow and runs down his right cheek also marks the injury.

The Swordsman's equipment is styled like a medieval warrior's, but is lightweight and bears modern-day improvements. His chainmail is lightweight, and beneath it, he wears an energy-reflective tunic. Of course, he is never without his trademark sword, a realistic looking broadsword that looks like it might have been handed down from the Middle Ages.
