Unlike his father and brother, Lyle Margrave wasn't blessed with power when the Towers rose outside the population centers of the world seventeen years ago. However, with his father imprisoned and his brother killed in the Fall of New York, he is alone in helping his mother to provide for their household and get his sister Helen through her last couple years of college. Quitting his job probably wasn't the smartest move to this end, but he wasn't helping anyone as a mistreated secretary. This is followed by even more bad luck in the form of a beating from an Empowered directly outside his girlfriend's apartment and an ultimatum not to return.

Lyle's fate of being doomed to drudgery is altered when he steps into a Secret Gate and a figure from out of Greek mythology gives him the opportunity to make a difference. Something's strange about his gift, though, and if he's not careful, it could get him killed.
