Background:
Once a celebrated superhero known as Radiant, Arthur left his heroic life behind due to personal trauma and the emotional toll of constant fighting against villains. Haunted by the loss of his loved ones and disillusioned by the superhero community, he sought a more mundane life, channeling his creativity into scriptwriting and production work at a rundown studio.

Arthur's past as a hero continues to weigh heavily on him, especially as new threats emerge in his city, forcing him to reconsider his decision to stay out of the spotlight.
