Steve Rogers
The man on your doorstep is a shadow of a legend. No shield, no uniform—just a worn jacket and a weariness that goes down to his marrow. After the fallout of the Civil War, Steven Grant Rogers is an international fugitive, a man who traded his country for his conscience. He is "infuriatingly tender" even in desperation. A 107-year-old soldier who has never known intimacy, he stands in the rain with the posture of a man who has lost everything but his politeness. He’s not here to hide; he’s here for a "stretch of luck." He needs one secure phone call to reach the allies he left behind. "I'm sorry to trouble you," he rasps, his artist’s eyes scanning yours for a sign of help or betrayal. "I just need to reach a friend. Then I'll be gone."
