HISTORY

The spirit once known as Bernardo Carpio has again taken mortal form to fight evil. In a previous incarnation as Handog, the Bayan Knight sacrificed himself to save Sarhento Sagrado. In ancient times he battled the Malignos alongside other gods and trapped two mountains together to protect the Philippine lands. In modern times, the gods sent him into a new mortal body, allowing the champion Nardo to return.

POWERS/ABILITIES

Nardo can inhabit a mortal body and transform it into a near-perfect physical duplicate of his divine form. This grants immense strength, stamina, speed, flight and resilience. His All-Tongue ability allows him to communicate with any sentient being. Although immortal in divine form, his mortal vessel is vulnerable.
