Background Information
Age:

15

First Appearance:

Rise of the Elgen

Status:

Alive (with the mysterious voice.)

Powers:

Extreme electrical interference. He can shut down any electrical device (mostly planes)

Alliances:

Electroclan

Tanner is a Glow with the power to shut down electronic devices, primarily aircraft engines.

Powers

Tanner uses his powers to make airplanes crash. Hatch usually used this to blackmail airlines for money. Prior to taking down the British airline jets in The Prisoner of Cell 25, he had crashed more than two dozen private jets.

History

Tanner was found by the Elgen at the same time as fellow electric McKenna. He was blackmailed into following Hatch by watching his younger brother be tortured. At some point between The Prisoner of Cell 25 and Rise of the Elgen, Tanner has a nervous breakdown of guilt, causing him to attempt to take his own life.  He is brought to the Amazon compound with the rest of the Glows, and on the way heroicly trys to sacrifice himself to take out Hatch by bringing down the jet they were all in, but is stopped by Torstyn. He is put under RESAT treatment, but is rescued by The Electroclan and joins them. He is last noted in Rise of the Elgen  saving Michael from Elgen helicopters.


Battle of the Ampere

Tanner is the only Glow that makes it to The Voice's rendezvous point, giving the voice custody of two electrics (the other being Grace)

Personality

Little is known about Tanner's personality before his breakdown, but he is now, well, broken. He is selfless, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of others, but often breaks down crying on account of the horrible things he did for the Elgen.


Mental Status

Tanner had a mental breakdown between The Prisoner of Cell 25 and Rise of the Elgen. This was caused by pent up guilt from the numerous murders he commited for the Elgen. He was separated from the other Elgen electrics, and kept heavily sedated when not being treated. It is possible he is completely mentally disturbed, considering Taylor breaks down crying when she gets a glimpse inside his mind.
