When Mark Leeds was himself a teenager, he fashioned the first Centuritron, sending it to attend classes in his stead, while he experimented with his new powers, and performed his first heroic deeds under cover of secrecy around his hometown. This crafted companion found itself less and less active as Mark Leeds grew into a man, experiencing growth in body and powers, and rendering his teenaged robot duplicate useless as a decoy. When active, the ‘Centuriteen’ spent it’s time maintaining the newly constructed Sanctum, wandering it’s sterile and icy halls, surrounded by an increasing cohort of adult formed Centuritrons, who addressed it as ‘Imprimus’ (meaning ‘First’) but were otherwise free to perform their primary functions of filling in for their creator, while the ‘first’ found itself relegated to what was essentially ‘monitor duty,’ keeping up with local events via newsfeeds and broadcasts, the better to keep Centurion up-to-date and informed on world events.

A relatively recent Crime League machination caused the Centuritrons to go berserk, and the combined forces of the Freedom League and ‘Imprimus’ were required to help purge them of the hostile programming and restore them to normalcy. During the course of the conflict, only The Raven noted the presence of a Centuritron helping the team from within one of the Sanctum’s computer centers, and when the slimmer-than-expected figure raised a finger to it’s lips and snuck out of the room before any of the other Freedom League members arrived, she chose to keep the robot’s existence a secret, only to confront it later in private.

Imprimus has grown lonely and bored, consigned to eternally watch the world vicariously, but for many decades unable to leave this icy prison, and knowing that even his task of watching no longer serves any true function, as there is no Centurion to receive his daily briefs. And so it laid out a precise and meticulously reasoned justification for leaving The Sanctum far behind, and joining either the Next-Gen or some other hero group as a ‘new hero,’ to better serve Centurion’s legacy, rather than rot away in the arctic, accomplishing nothing. The Crime League’s programming had not ‘missed’ the First Centuritron, but had reacted strangely, *mutated,* one could say, upon contact with his unique programming, and awakened something very much like free will upon the construct. While the other Centuritrons, the ‘later models,’ were content to return to their roles as caretakers of the Sanctum, Imprimus felt new needs, new drives and new urges within his synthetic chest, and he could no longer sit idle. His new memories, or, more specifically, his new nostalgic and wistful reactions to his old memories, of a teenaged Mark Leeds clapping him on the back with a smile and calling him ‘Comitatus’ (companion) and enthusing how they’d be friends forever, now fill him with a burning need to *live,* and not just exist, to become a part of the world, and not just watch it from afar with envious eyes.

The Raven asked him to wait, while she pondered the ramifications of his idea (or, more to the point, while she tore apart the remaining bits of code left from the cyberviral attack on the Centuritrons, to make sure that no lingering ‘trojan’ software remained that could explain this teenaged Centuritron’s new personality changes). Leery of the entire notion, even if she couldn’t find any technical reason to forbid it, she had not yet contacted Imprimus when the matter was taken out of her hands, and Imprimus, as the Young Freedom member Decurion, debuted in combat against agents of Hades alongside other mysterious teen heroes that claimed ties to various Freedom League members past and present…
