Spike’s father Anton was a pilot of a fighter jet who trained his son in flying. Spike took up the post when Anton was mysteriously killed in the line of duty some years later. At this point, he began to have strange dreams and visions, some of which actually came true, thus earning him the title of “pseudo prophet” in his community. He hated the attention, and fled to the city of Edmonton, where he set up shop on a dead-end street which tended to drift in and out of reality. He is currently the owner of a small import record store, and continues to pilot his jet.

Spike is bitter over the death of his father, and is often very biting and sarcastic. He sometimes pretends to know everything there is to know, and will offer advice to (almost) anyone who asks. While not all-knowing and wise, he is very knowledgeable and adept at solving problems.
