Heroes Evolutions
On November 12, 2007, NBC.com began the Create Your Hero interactive promotion in which fans voted on attributes for a new character. On February 4, 2008, profiles for a male and a female character were created. Santiago's profile read:
Santiago is twenty three. He is an only child, and lives with his mother in a poor part of Lima. He works as an auto mechanic, but has a burning desire to go out in the world and accomplish something that will make his mother truly proud.
Santiago lost his father years ago to the Peruvian civil war. He carries that loss in his heart, but has found solace in the teachings of the Catholic church. Santiago attends mass every Sunday, in a local cathedral which was built by the Spanish Conquistadors more than four hundred years ago.
It was one Sunday after mass when Santiago first discovered his powers. He was playing soccer with his friends in a dusty lot, when he suddenly realized that he was faster--much faster--than his opponents. In fact he was so fast, that he had to hide his ability in order not to attract too much attention.
Santiago loves being fast--he uses his power to become the star of his soccer team--but he believes that his abilities are a gift from God, and feels strongly that they should only be used for good.
On 24 July, 2008, the third and fourth paragraphs were changed to reflect the addition of a new ability.
One Sunday after service, he discovers that he's indeed very special. During a weekly soccer match with friends, he gets the ball and as he turns towards the goal, something incredible happens. Looking down the field he suddenly sees everything as a grid. Quickly scanning the other players, he sees all their possible maneuvers and blocks--determining the best way to make a goal. He has the power of accelerated probability. Not only that but he realizes he can run super fast! Combined, the two abilities make him unstoppable. He takes off, dodging every attempted block and scoring a goal as his friends look on, astonished.
Santiago immediately loves his powers and uses them to become the star of his soccer team. He believes his abilities are a gift from God though, and feels strongly they should only be used for good.
Evolved Human Abilities
Santiago has two natural abilities, accelerated probability and super speed. This is relativly unusual as many evolved humans possess only one natural ability. He has demonstrated his accelerated probability in getting out of a car accident and to find out how to best approach Elisa, followed by his super speed to then catch up with her.
