===The Argent Adept===
...Well, he's a superhero [[bard]]. The latest heir to the title of "Virtuoso of the Void," Anthony Drake learned that he was destined to fight the avatar of elemental chaos, Akash'bhuta, when he handled an ancient musical instrument. Unfortunately, Akash'bhuta had managed to delay the process of passing down the musical knowledge of ages to him by killing the last Virtuoso and smashing his fiddle before he could find Anthony, and he's working to make up for lost time. The superhero team known as the Prime Wardens was originally formed to help him defeat her and compensate for his green-ness.

The Argent Adept is ''also'' a really complex hero to play, though not because he's in danger of self-destructing like Zero. Rather, his deck has three major components: music cards (subdivided into Rhythm, Harmony, and Melody) that each have Perform and Accompany components (his base power only activates a single Perform component), musical instruments that each activate two of those sub-components for different types of music card, and, of course, search cards to help get what he wants into play. If you haven't got a good head for all these kinds of things, he's ''really'' tough get to do what you want him to, but done right he'll turn his team into an unstoppable hurricane via combo-buffing.  

'''Variants:'''
* ''Prime Wardens'': Considering the team formed to help him, he'd ''better'' be a member. His new power lets him play the card on the bottom of his deck and use an Accompany text, which is... well, it's pretty nice, even if Accompany components tend to be less-direct than Perform ones.  
* ''Kvothe Six String'': ...Well, the character of the Argent Adept was originally developed as a direct reference to ''The King-Killer Chronicles'', and Rothfuss turned out to be a big fan. His new power reveals the top cards of two decks, putting one into play and the other into the trash. Most useful when villains don't ''want'' cards in the trash, obviously, but still really good for set-up-heavy heroes. Unfortunately, this ''also'' means he can't activate his music without instruments anymore, making him very draw-dependent compared to his counterparts.
* ''Dark Conductor'': Anthony felt like a cool guy there when he defeated Biomancer's half-baked clone of him and reclaimed the instrument it wielded.  Then it started affecting his mind.  Literally identical to the Kvothe card gameplay-wise, but was added later so that people could have access to a version of it while still needing to support the charity to buy Kvothe.
* ''Xtreme'': Product of an ill-advised attempt to reboot Anthony as a punk-rocker full of 'tude in the 90's that got reconned into an alternate universe.  This bad boy can blast any target for two sonic damage, and if he hits a hero target ''they'' can immediately play a card and use a power (so long as he actually hurt them, ''powergamer'').  Another variant that can't play his songs on his own, but it hardly matters because his ability to support his team from the word go is ''just that good''.  Not as broke as, say, Freedom Six Tachyon, but still an example, as with many of the Xtreme Prime Wardens, of balance fighting awesome and awesome winning.  Just be careful not to mosh pit your own team too hard if someone or something keeps boosting your damage.
