I am Cortez. My forefathers were ancient nobility in Europe--and men of wealth in the new world. We bent continents to our whim. And my sister and I were mutant... the pinnacle of the bloodline... But we were shunned by the sapiens in our family. Treated as embarrassments. Handed a pittance. The scraps from the family table. Barely six figures... Property in Florida... But I am Cortez. My name is a mutant name, because it belongs to me. And if the flatscans want it back... they can wear it on their tombstones.

-- Fabian Cortez
