Black Condor

The Dark Bird of the Night….

Richard Grey, Jr. was orphaned after his parents were killed during an archaeology trip.  Richard was then found and raised by a family of condors in Mongolia until he was found by a hermit named Father Pierre.  Richard had discovered that he had the ability to fly with the condors, but he found out about the world from Father Pierre.

Grey returned to America and assumed the identity of a U.S. Senator named Thomas Wright whom he could have been twins.  The Senator had recently been murdered by a corrupt politician.
