History: Desmond Negril is an innovative metallurgist and owner of the research firm Allotech, with a two-million-dollar private research facility. Negril's most well-known discovery is Stromium, a metal alloy with incredible resistance to physical stress and unusual properties of energy dispersal. A dear friend of Murdock Ellison, the Rastafarian contributes to his efforts against Europan, such as providing Stromium alloy for his stealth suit. Negril had been working on personal body armor that avoided the permanence of Dr. Portacio's Wetworks process and have Europan and Cyberdata "eat their hearts out." Due to Europan treachery, while conducting an experiment, Desmond was caught in an otherwise lethal explosion that sent him into a tank of alloy, caused a transformation. Negril's body was converted into a liquid metal alloy that he would soon be able to manipulate at will. As Manji stole what "Steel Pulse" digital files Negril hadn't managed to destroy, the scientist was found by Murdock Ellison and helped into a containment suit. Spirited away to another Europan conflict arena, Negril was blasted through the chest with an energy rifle, and finally recognized the extent of his transformation. Negril was last seen aiding Tribe against Lord Deus, in which his ability to conduct energy into the villain's powered chair was essential to forcing his retreat.
