Seeker.

She is an operative for a special task force unit and the Seeker persona has become a popular icon for the American public.

Secretly, she is LeAnn Masters— a woman who wears the mantle of Seeker proudly for she understands that she is Seeker and Seeker is her.

But she's wrong.

Before her there was another Seeker
...and before that...
yet another...
and another.

There has always been a Seeker.

They may look different.  They may "serve" different masters...but the role of Seeker goes beyond current day government, goes beyond operatives against other operatives.  The legacy of Seeker goes into the fabled past of a land that most don't believe exists.

LeAnn is the current Seeker and the former Seeker, Tracy LeMaster is locked up in a mental hospital because obviously, her story of being an incarnate of an ancient Atlantean force couldn’t possibly be true. The new Seeker is a popular icon figure in the battle against corporate crime and all the trappings of Atlantis are gone. The focus on the new series actually is not on Leann Heyward the current Seeker, but Maxine Brasura who unknowingly, is in training to become the next Seeker.

But when Tracy Lemaster escapes, she pledges to restore the name of Seeker to its rightful place and the frauds who wear the costume now shall pay for their desecration against the legend of Seeker.

Tracy is a dangerous woman and because of her assimilation of the present and the past, she is given a name that means the sum of all parts.  She is called Gestalt.

And she wants to kill Seeker.

 

Brief Description: Seeker is a government agent assigned to crimes of corporate espionage and terrorism.  The persona of Seeker has become an icon for the public so the government, specifically the Tactical Attack Corps, utilizes the Seeker character for good public relations.  There is talk that Seeker has existed before but that is irrelevant to the TAC force as they have their own agenda for Seeker.

Key Elements: Action and intrigue. Flashy sorcery and special fx. Strong female lead character. Secret agent, super-hero, fantasy-horror.

Association: Mixing the dark, gritty and moody atmosphere of FOX's Batman and Disney's Gargoyles, Seeker also takes on the otherworldly and super-heroic feel of Todd McFarlane's Spawn.

Format: Seeker has had eight issues out and has proven to be a very popular character.  The saga of having different heroes take up the mantle of the name is an intriguing idea that Caliber is deciding whether to tap into.  The original concept of Seeker being an entity force of Atlantis is also being considered versus the more action oriented operative role that is currently the role of Seeker.

Additional: Seeker has had a circulation (either as lead or back up) in nearly 150,000 copies circulated. It is a very striking character and features a strong female lead. The avenues left open regarding the truth of Seeker would allow it to move into a lot of different directions. It can be of an anti-terrorist hero or it could bring up the ancient mythology of the character which would also allow a variety of Seekers existing in the past, present, and future.
