Yakov Rosenblum

A student of the Israeli illusionist and purported telekinetic Uri Geller, Rosenblum quickly discovered there was quite a bit more to his own abilities than he had previously imagined. He feared for his life too much to go to the authorities on his own, but his telepathic abilities were discovered by the Mossad, who pressed him into service in a role equivalent to the role played during the Cold War by two counterpart telepathic super-agents (KINGFISHER in the CIA, SIGMA in the KGB). Rosenblum was born Jewish, but unbeknownst to his employers he renounced his faith when he began working secretly as a double-agent supplying classified information to the United Nations and the Arab League - both historically suspicious of the Israelis' true intentions. While his double-agent status is still highly clandestine, it prompted the UN to recommend Rosenblum to the then-recruiting Strikeforce 2.

Special Abilities:
Yakov can establish and maintain many simultaneous telepathic links with willing participants. He can sense others' unguarded telepathic emanations and can probe unguarded or lightly shielded minds. Yakov has a limited telekinetic ability; he can move objects up to the size and mass of a human being - including himself, which gives him a small degree of levitation ability. He has basic firearms training and is skilled in Israeli and Palestinian hand-to-hand fighting.
