Powers: Steven is one, if not the most powerful telepath on earth. It is certain that no telepath wields the skill Steven possesses, but it is argued that some telepaths have more raw power. He has all the attributes of a telepath. He also has very powerful telekinethesis, which he uses to fly. He can phase himself, others and even inanimate objects. His teleportation skills are so perfected, that he can teleport upto 100 tonnes of matter. He also has the power to create illusions, and can warp the astral plane, cutting off accessability to it, but both skills are very dangerous to use.
Extra Abilities: He possesses kinetic telepathy. RKB’s body, like everyone else’s, creates kinetic energy when it moves. Steven’s body converts this energy into psionic energy, and it flows through his mind. He can only release it when he uses his telepathy or telekinethesis. But when it is needed, Steven can move the psionic energy across the Astral Plane. On the Astral Plane, Steven can direct that energy into a person’s mind. Once the psionic energy enters, Steven can warp it back into kinetic energy, causing the physical force to make the brain explode.
Steven is immortal. Any injury sustained can be healed virtually instantly. The greater the damage, the longer it takes for him to regenerate.
Steven also has the ability to confuse messages to the brain, effectively cutting a mutant from their powers.
He is slowly learning to master his newly found mystical skills, and is a medium level socerror.

Fitness: He is in top notch shape for a 7002 year old, and works out regularly. However, he does have diabetes, and this can occassionally flare up.
Combat Skills: He is a very good ninja, swordsman, but he prefers to use his powers more. Excellent kickboxer. Recently, he has been working with Ashante Grey of the White Court to improve his fighting skills.
Battlefield Information: He isn’t very good at team battles, because he is more of a commander, but can analyse a situation and also provide an accurate plan and his time on the Army provides him with the ability to organise soldiers.

Duties Within The Courts: He is still the ‘silent’ Black King of the Beverley Hills Club, but he only leans upon that if absolutely necessary. As Blue King, Steven is the head of the Blue Inner Circle and in sole command of every aspect of the Blue Hellfire Club, along with the Blue Queen. He is also Hellion Headmaster taking on not only the physical training of the Hellions, but also the educatioal persuits.

History: The year was 1853 and the Booth family, who were Catholics, had moved back to England after the Reformation. They were infact members of the Norman family and were all Royalty. Lord Irvan Booth, Steven's father, was the step-brother to George IV of England an rightful heir to the throne, but he chose not to take on the mantle and abdicated. He and Rhiannon Booth, his wife, had just founded the Northern England Hellfire Club, after seeing how successful the London branch were. The two had a son and named him Steven. He was born with enormous psionic abilities, soem of these had to be siphoned off by Dr. Philip Xavier, a leading doctor and secret telepath. The Club hired him to coach Steven. Steven was called a ‘mutant’ and along with the other children of the Hellfire Club, trained to use his powers.
Finally his father, a powerful sorceress, died, and when his successor was announced a position in the Club fell open, Black Rook. Steven quickly ascended to the Pawn, and by the time he was twenty-four he was Black King. His psi powers had grown to unknown levels. In 1900 he moved to America and founded the Club in Beverley Hills. For a time the Club assimilated the New York Branch, but allowed them independence later on. But finally, around 1950, Steven disbanded the Club after an explosion killed nearly all the members. Knowing how to control his powers to the finest level and possessing immeasurable wealth, Steven turned his attention to his academic roles in life. He gained many degrees and PhD’s and other mantles. He invested a lot of his money into starting up an airline company, and now it is one of the largest in the world. Steven also knew the persecution of mutants, and decided to open refuge centres and research facilities for them. This is when Steven really became rich, and was famous as one of the most renowned experts on mutation. The public however, knew not of his own mutancy.
Joseph Ryan, the ancestor of former White King, David Ryan, approached Steven, begging him to re-open the Club. Steven agreed and they set about re-establishing the Beverley Hills Club. By 1996 they had traced down many relatives of the former members. Steven decided that the Inner circle needed young people to train; he traced back an ancestor of one of the Black Knights, Ian Fitzroy to be the Black Bishop. The ancestor of once White King Jason Woodward, who was also called Jason Woodward, was asked to be White Bishop. He asked Salvatore to be the Black Knight, Elemental to be the White Knight and Aquapyro and Thomas Bennett to be rooks.
Joseph pressurised Steven into forming an Outer Circle. With the work he had to do involving his government work, and his business’ to run, Steven left the Club under Joseph’s ruling and retired to Canada for a rest.
Here he met Lord Flyin’ Ryan, the Red King of the InterNETional Hellfire Club. Steven was offered a mantle as Knight, and happily accepted it. Epyon, also known as Thomas Bennett, who was White Rook in the Beverley Hills establishment, approached Steven telling him how Joseph had slaughtered their parents and was trying to kill them. With Ryan’s aid, he shut Joseph down and took the Inner Circle members and enrolled them in the Hellions.
Steven overthrew Ian, the Red Bishop, and was also made Red Hellion Headmaster. At this point he was approached by the Black King, Darkwolf, and asked to head the BHC’s new strikell Steven and he could replace him with a more manipulative king. Steven found out and made the Purple Hellfire Club independent from the IHFC. This is why no Red Court members were present at the final vampire battle.
Now the threat of the vampires is out of the way, Ste to assimilate his son, but Steven’s kinetic telepathy killed him, but not before absorbing magical powers, and it appeared his father's External status. But recently, Steven has been showing signs of mortality and has lost most of his magic. It is rumoured he somehow transferred them to Rune, a former BHC member, but this is yet to be investigated. Infact, it was discovered, Steven wasn't an External, but had a very slow working healthing factor. And his father never persihed, merely buried himself in his son's mind, secretly corrupting it in hope of killing his son and taking over the body. Steven overcame his father, but lost hsi magical powers in the process.
Recently, Steven was made Purple King, and is now in charge of his own Court.
It is evident that the 50 years between the closure of the Beverley Hills Hellfire Club and the re-opening were extremely busy for the Purple King. Not only did he become a famous professor, owner of a multi-billionaire company, but he also made some strange, yet supremely powerful allies, enemies and bystanders. During his time he is known to have been friends with the Kingpin, a master crime lord in New York, join an European Hellfire Club in Antwerp as their Bishop, train as a Lieutenant in the British army, take his seat in the House of Lords in England and gain dozens of PhDs. But Steven has also done some more darker work in these years. He has worked for the Vatican as a chief vampire slayer and in this, he has made connections with other slayers and vampires around the world. Steven is known to have rejected membership to the Illuminati. It is also becoming clear that Steven spent and a lot of time slaying werewolves, vampires and other inhumane creatures. To say the least, his 180 years of life have been extremely eventful.
Recently, he uncovered a plot, with the assistance of a colleague of his, Cardinal Hulmes of the Vatican Council. According to the ancient scriptures of the vampire world, there was destined to be an uprising, allowing vampires from across the world to band together and overthrow the Vampire Council of Toronto. Once they succeed, they had plans to dominate the world, using an ancient spell to awaken the God of Vampires, who would bring his fury upon all. Steven was appointed the job of slayer as well as other individuals, and was responsible for wiping out vampire nests before they could join in the fight. At this point he was trying to find some way of renewing his withered body, but he decided the cost was too much. Enlisting his fellow courtiers help, he did so, and then, he found the main base, and with help form the other courts, stop the uprising, but at the cost of the lives of two of his students. But before this happened, Chastity, the then Red Queen of the International Hellfire Club, of which the Purple Court was a member, uncovered a plot hatched by the Red King. He was allying himself with the vampires, hoping they’d kill Steven and he could replace him with a more manipulative king. Steven found out and made the Purple Hellfire Club independent from the IHFC. This is why no Red Court members were present at the final vampire battle.
Now the threat of the vampires is out of the way, Steven is devoting his time to finding a cure for the Legacy Virus and spending more time with the Purple Club members. He is also taking a keener interest in his business empire.
Recently, due to the events of The Move *HF* and Family Bonds *HF* the PHC has re-located to Burnley, England, and due to the events of Carpe Diem *HF* the Club has changed from Purple to Blue.
It was recently discovered that Steven is actually 7000 years old, and a spell was placed on him to supress his memories every one thousand years. He has gained access to all his memories from all his different past lifes as well as 7000 years worth of mystical training and knowledge. For more information read Post Haste *HF*.
Recently, after a battle with Prometheus Hesseltine, the former business partner gained control of the White King and used the mystical weapon Excalibur that is bonded to SuperGrover to inflict a serious, almost mortal wound on the External. However, Steven has pulled through and, after his brush with death, he is more outgoing.
Steven's life is always changing. The Blue King is dating Morte, and spending more time with his grandsons and son. Recently it was revealed Steven has a daughter named Isabella. Nytshade, the former Wgite Queen, and Steven were good friends for many years and Steven even secretly sat in the WHC Inner Circle for a few years, and the two grew close and in 1993 gave into their passion for one another, and Isabella was the product of this. Jon however didn;t tell Steven of her pregnancy and hid it from everyone. Finally, when the child was born, she sent her off to foster parents and raised her without Steven's knowledge. Recently though, Isabella, who now lived with Jon since her retirement from the Clubs, ran into Shadow at one of his concerts, and the young Prince noticed the girl calling Jon 'mom' and told his father. Curious as to why Jon would hide a child from him, Steven pondered for a while and realised the approximate age of the child correlated with the year he and Jon had sex. After confronting the White Queen Jon admitted Isabella was Steven's daughter. Obviously Steven was irate, but Jon finally calmed him down and now Isabella is getting to know her father, spending school term at the BLHC castle with him and vacations with her mother.
Steven is now more focused on training the Hellions and his family, and allows the rest of the Inner Circle to run the Court, but still holds an iron grip on matters and affairs. Nothing gets by him, and he likes it that way. He has also started forging stronger bonds with the White Court. The motives of this closeness have yet to be revealed.

Relationships: Most importantly to Steven relationsip wise are his sons, Kyle and David, and daughter Isabella. He dotes on then, worries about them, laughs with them, and cries with them. He is a hands on father. He is also extremely close of his two grandsons, Richard and Matt, and is a very proud grandfather.
The most important person to him next is Morte, who he is having a relationship with. He is also extremely close with Felicity Harvard, Cardinal Elijah Hulmes, Charlotte Sometimes and Ian Fitzroy. He is great friends with Jon Tolliver, the former White Queen and ShockWave, the former Purple Queen.
He is friends with everyone in his Court, especially Blackfire, Emma and Waya. Most of them look upto him as a father, and he regards them as his children.
From the other Courts, he is quite close to Chastity, but not as close as they used to be. He likes to keep in contact with his godchildren. He respects the White King, SuperGrover. He has a relationship with Shaman that has yet to be explored. He has a mentor like relationship with Ashante Grey.
He distrusts Hawkeye, finds Daemon presumptious (mainly because he reminds him so much of himself at Daemon's age), sincerely dislikes Ryan Jensen, regards Nate Grey as a very shallow person and has a general dislike for Diablo. These feelings, however, are very rarely shown, but he always keeps them in mind when thinking about the Courts.
Steven also has an interest in Christian, the Ascended One. However, it is uncertain why the Blue King has started taking more of an interest in the child. Could he have a part to play in the Ascension, or a motive of his own?
Personality: Steven is a very secretive person, enjoying his own company. But he is also a very active social person, and, despite popular belief, does enjoy himself. He is extremely arrogant, and this causes most of his arguments. In battle, he is not bloodthirsty, but isn’t afraid to use his powers to defend himself. Is a popular believer in discipline and rules, best suiting his role as a teacher. Some might say he is eccentric, or is obsesses with cleanliness and perfection. Growing up in a royal family with a lot of money, has somewhat made him more snobbery than most people. One thing that annoys people is his ability to say what he thinks, even if it insults a person. Somewhat power hungry, but only in the sense that he knows he can handle things on his own best.
He is very strict and official towards young people and his students, but those people who are his friends and really know him, will know he is a down to earth, goofy kind of person. He is also a fountain of wisdom, and extremely liberal in all things. Hates prejudism. Is the Court's father figure AND shoulder to cry on.
He loves Morte sincerely, and has found a kindred spirit in her, despite the age gap.
A lot of people are intimidated by Steven's icy demeanour and officious behaviour. However, most of this is a carefully constructed act. He is a warm person, who is zealoously loyal to his students and friends.
Interest: Steven believes in the finer things in life, enjoying fine clothes, expensive things and many of the arts including the theatre and art galleries. He is a die-hard fan of Frank Sinatra, and also likes Mozart. No one had better touch his TIna Turner records either! Likes to spend time with his family, relaxing, reading, bathing, fighting and getting involved in his business.
