His story: Saru was fostered by the Ishimura Clan when his parents dissolved their mating contract and their custody dispute could not be settled by either the Chinese or the Manhattan clan. Lexington remained a strong influence in Saru's life and encouraged him to continue his studies in science. 

Saru likes to make inventive gadgets in his workshop; many of these serve as amusing toys for Ishimura youngsters but many have proved useful against the Space Spawn. His wry sense of humor has helped Saru defuse many a difficult situation but it's his training in Bushido that helps this scholar to be a great warrior.

Her story: Spitfire is a daughter of the London clan, descended from
Griff. (Technically, she is one of Griff and Brianna's children,
inheriting Brianna's blue eyes and Griff's mohawk & beak.) She lost her original wings defending her clan during the Space Spawn invasion and was given hi-tech, cybernetic wings by Pendragon Technologies, a subsidiary of the Camford Corporation. Spitfire had been deeply depressed by the loss of her wings; when she regained the power of flight, she sought to redeem herself by becoming an expert in hand-to-hand combat. Many of her fellow Londoners thought Spitfire to be too gung-ho and eager for battle; she disagreed and proved herself by spearheading behind-the-lines raids to drive the Space Spawn from London.
