Actually, Dr. Kaltzov seems like a pretty workable point of intersection. He's a criminal ostensibly on a redemptive track. Sure, it's self-serving, but he doesn't have to be advertising that. So his shadowy background could account for his connection to Crucible and Octavia, his inventor background might even connect him to our battle suit character (either because he built the suit or helped repair it at some point in the past). I think someone also suggested that Brick might be the 'respectable one,' so that's a viable "in" there. I see Brick as having been mostly involved with cleaning up street-level crime, without much experience against more super menaces (let's face it: he's basically a guy who runs at things and hits them. Not exactly optimized to deal with shadowy conspiracies or evil geniuses). Kaltzov and his team help Brick facing those menaces and his association with them lends a tacit endorsement from a low-level 'local hero' while allowing him to keep a close eye on these new converts to 'good.'</blockquote>
