Havelock (? - ?) is a retired Superhero (nonfiction).
His superpower involves settling disputes between two other people.
These two others will make a mutual pact which will result in one of their dreams coming true, and the other dream coming to nothing.
The pact requires them to make Havelock decide which dream lives, and which dream dies.'
"Decide" is what people say, but Havelock has always sworn that he does not think, he does not choose, he is not aware of anything happening at all. In a recent interview he said:
These fools come to me, two by two, and they want action now, they've got their beefs all heated up and now I'm supposed to pick one.
Most of the time I have go ahead and do it, because it's better than getting shot or stabbed in the leg, which is usually what they do if I try to explain why it's a bad idea.
So I do my thing. I accept the situation. I let it happen. That's the only decision: I decide to let it happen.
Then I usually get a little by hazy, nod off for a second or two. But not long, it's quick. And then it's done.
The problem is, most time, everything is the same. There is no sign whatever that anything happened, that anything has changed.
Sometimes it happens immediately, one guy kills the other guy on the spot, or the loser drops dead of a heart attack, or something.
But usually it takes days, weeks for the effect to kick in. There are no miracles here, okay? Gold doesn't shower from the sky. If the winner wants gold, well, destiny will get the gold to him. But it will take days, weeks, months for things to play out.
And they don't like that, these two guys. They've been business rivals, enemy warlords, dogs fighting over a bone for so long, they live for nothing but their dreams. Nothing". They areobsessed, and they won't be be put off. They want to know whose dream will come true.
And I can't tell them a damned thing. I have no idea. I agreede to play their game, then Fate played me.
I ain't Fate, man. [Laughs]. I'm a pawn like everyone else.
He is sometimes referred to as "The man who doesn't get killed," because all of the many attempts on his life have miscarried and failed.
