History: Not much is known about Oracle before his first appearance. Given his appearance, he is possibly a former Morlock.
He, along with the rest of the team that would come to be known as Freedom Force, first came to public attention when they attempted to rob an armored car in Washington, DC, only to have their efforts thwarted by Captain America and his partner-in-training, Bucky, who were there to testify in front of the Senate Committee on Superhuman Affairs.
While sitting in a federal prison awaiting trial, Oracle and his teammates were given the option to become government agents under the direction of Department of Homeland Security agent Valerie Cooper as an alternative to SHIELD's Sentinel program, in exchange for having the charges for their armored car robbery dropped. Accepting, Oracle and the others were given the name Freedom Force.
As a member of Freedom Force, Oracle has come into conflict with the Renegades and Captain America, the latter in a case of mistaken intentions while both were investigating the Serpent Squad.

Other Distinguishing Features: Oracle has pointed ears.
Uniform: Orange bodysuit, blue gloves, blue boots, black belt; formerly included a black domino mask (which obviously couldn't hide his identity).
Strength Level: Oracle possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in little regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Oracle is a mutant with the ability to see for miles through a form of clairvoyance. He is also able to project energy beams through his eyes, in a manner not unlike Cyclops of the X-Men, which he can adjust from lasers to concussive energy.
Other Abilities: Oracle is a skilled sniper.

Role-Playing Notes:
Oracle is a believer in mutant equality and a solid team player, loyal to his teammates and of Freedom Force probably the member most loyal to Val Cooper. (He never really liked Slither, and wasn't sad to see him leave.) He believes he is in the best possible situation he can for assisting the fight for mutant rights.
Design Notes:
1. DHS Rank is derived from Social Engineering: Pulling Rank, based off using the Department of Homeland Security as a 20-point Patron with an assistance roll of 9 or less. It does not affect his Status.
2. I went with "Oracle" rather than "Peeper", "Peepers", or "Occult" for his name because the first two are just plain dumb, while the third, which was his Resistants name, while better didn't really fit the character.
