The following is a (OPEN RP) discussion regarding Lord Photon's appearance in the press, etc, by Pro. Gathers and his History Dept. faculty:

Subject: Test Materials Missing!
The disappearance of our test materials (Lord Photon?!) has led to an increase in security. It is an inconvenience to us all, but it will not do to have any -other- test materials disappear.

Thursday, August 12th... 11th century English armor arrived. Primary x-ray reveals the presence of a knight still entombed inside. We will begin removing the armor tomorrow.
I am fascinated to finally see the face of Lord Photon (albeit dessicated presumably). The violet eagle crest that marks his armor is clearly the herald of the House of Myrddin, a descendant of the mythical Merlin! Lord Photon's deeds were recounted as a saint in Glastonchurch Abby, and he is no minor heir of the venerable wizard. Indeed, if the stainglass story in the chapel is correct, his affinity for what he called "purifying" flames was unearthly.
Photon's abilities though less arcane in nature, were no less mysterious. He believed his ability was a gift from the Creator, to pass judgement on the injust and the greedy. Tales of his heroics are often told by word of mouth in parts of modern France as the White Knight.
His ability to engulf his foes in this purifying flame earned him great respect far and wide, from his early in his career as a demon-slayer and loyal Briton to his later career as a witch-hunter.
The records are not clear when he died, though his final conflict is hinted at in the illuminated manuscript recovered with the armor. The illustration in ink shows a terrifying sorceress wreathed in lightning while the White Knight wields a flaming sword about to strike.
Later that night... Further analysis has revealed that the armor appears to be made of adamantium alloys that are fused with his body. Removal of the armor will be much more difficult.
Friday, August 13th... Security tapes reveal the armor getting up and leaving at approx. 11pm last night. We are confounded!
