Michael Colgrave

Michael "Mikey" Colgrave is an instrumental, a demon hunter travelling America in an Asbestos removal company van he stole. Because the general public is ignorant to the existence of the supernatural, Mikey has been branded a serial killer by the FBI who are unaware he is killing demons. Mikey refers to himself as an "monster hunter for hire".

Arc
Before his powers manifested, Mikey was a guitarist for and founding member of the Marlboro Men, a kind of grunge band that was steadily becoming more popular. After a heavy night of drinking and partying with his friends and groupies, Mikey woke up to disturbing visions. Initially keeping them a secret, when Mikey freaked out on-stage after seeing demonic faces in the crowd, he was diagnosed a schizophrenic and sent off to an institute where his visions persisted for a number of months.

During his time at the hospital, Mikey befriended a young amnesiac woman. With her help, Mikey discovered that his hallucinations were actually pointing him to the head doctor of the institute, a man who was experimenting on his subjects and attempting to open a doorway to the Demon World. After killing off the doctor, Mikey learned that the woman he befriended was a ghost he could perceive thanks to his powers, a previous victim of the doctor. Going on the run for the murder of the doctor, Mikey decided to put his powers to good use by hunting down the things that go bump in the night.

Trivial Information

 * Michael shares his first name with another Ultra-controlled character, Michael Dean from the Mad World series. Whereas Dean's first name was chosen at random, Colgrave's was intentionally based on the archangel Michael.
