Heath's exact physical status is unknown. While he believes himself to be human, connected to the system via a neural interface, he actually exists as a disembodied brain in a medical vat, maintained as part of a complex and adaptive network node. He also has at his disposal two switches, one to release him from his situation through death, the other to wipe or reset his personal memories and leave his skills intact, to allow him to continue to function and help people with his abilities.
Whether through his enhancements, or other means, Heath has made contact repeatedly had to come to terms in some form with his condition, particularly when required to perform feats that would otherwise be impossible for a creature known as a normal person. During the destruction of [[Shadow EntityThe First World]], which is capable of operating within Heath successfully used his connectivity to the minds of people communication networks across multiple dimensionsthe multiverse to simultaneously contact every inhabitant remaining alive, and address them individually by name to tell them not to look at a large [[Ruby Cube]] that had escaped from [[Teskoy Prison]]. He became more stable however when [[Conn Thompson]] talked to him, requesting further help and information.
Whether through his enhancements, or other means, Heath has also made contact with a creature known as a [[Shadow Entity]], which is capable of operating within the minds of people across multiple dimensions. Heath, or at least the facility housing him is located well within the [[Outer Shield]], somewhere near the [[Inner Shield]], which but not actually on [[The First World]] itself. This provides him with the high level of connection connectivity required to interface with the internet and systems in each parallel universe.
