OK. Before I get any further with my plot, I think I had better say a
little about the background of the Chief Instigator, as it were. Armand
Lattizori is a man of Italian descent whose family lived in what is now the
NAN. When the treaty of Denver was signed, his family was forced to leave,
and moved to Seattle. They trucked what they could of their belongings to
Seattle. While travelling they were attacked by a rogue band of Native
Warriors, and Armand's brother was killed. This is the root of his dislike
of Native People. He dislikes the meta-types of humanity mainly because
they have seemed to ally themselves with the NAN, in some cases.

Does anyone have any problems with this basis for my plot? I could probably
eliminate any further mention of Natives, and limit his bias simply to
Metahumans, but I would rather not.
