Jeremy Talix

"Lightsedge"

First Appearance: Forte #295 (original), Forte 2000 #142 (latter)

Jeremy Talix, the wealthy young owner of Talix Industries, spent his rare down-time traveling the world in search of enlightenment. He learned a way to focus his will into a sword of light, and, coupling that with his life-long study of the martial arts, he eventually became the hero called Lightsedge and joined Forte in the 1990s. During a moment of panic in a battle, he killed a terrorist who learned his identity. Never recovering from that moment, Lightsedge eventually left Forte, left his company in the hands of others, and began traveling the Earth to seek inner peace and atonement. He began to draw young people to himself, other seekers of truth and justice, and began teaching them to harness their will they way he had. The group became known as the Order of Light, and Lightsedge began crossing the globe with his strike force, righting wrongs and taking down warlords, drug kingpins and despots, paying little attention to international law or political ramifications. He, with his group, has made many enemies, and he’s become a controversial figure, but continues on his quest to act for those who cannot act for themselves, and make the world a better place.
