Before Laz was born:

Enoch found Renée confused to all hell. He thought her to be Clairvoyant and, without proper introduction, took her hand and ran off. He introduced her to the clairvoyant world. Enoch claimed to ‘know it all’. He made assumptions about her parents, theorizing one to be a carrier and the other a clairvoyant. Renée shyly told him she moved to the U.S., Renée being Japanese. Enoch tried to make Renée feel at home in the world she was lonely in for years. After a couple of years, they come to get married. However, the bureau was cognizant of Enoch and started to harass him about joining them. He’d constantly refuse, even when they begged him not to run or guilt-trip him. Enoch himself was an FBI agent, so he had been around the bend with inhumans. Renée and Enoch had a child in 1994.

Laz’s story:

Lazarus Rivers was born to Enoch and Renée in 1994. His childhood was hectic, with his father coming home with wild stories to tell. When Laz was 7, he broke his ankle. His father was associated with the inhuman world, knowing a witch who could heal it. Enoch took his son to a cabin in the woods. A witch named Piper lived there. Laz was scared of the witch, trying to run away on his snapped ankle. His father begrudgingly held him down, letting Piper heal his ankle. After that encounter, he gained respect for inhumans.

Around when Laz was 10, life declined. A werewolf attacked his mother while his family was out hiking. His father shouted at him to run while trying to save his mom. Laz ran as fast as he could, stumbling down the trail. Enoch abandoned his wife, decreeing it was already too late to save her, for she was most likely already dead. Instead, he grabbed Laz, running miles to Piper’s house. Piper let the family stay for years, and Laz saw Piper as a mother figure. He spent his time playing in the mud or climbing trees around her estate. However, when Laz was 11, he fell from one of these trees, injuring his spine. A disc slipped, injuring the nerves surrounding the area. Piper attempted to fix the injury, but could not in the long run. After that major injury, he developed muscle weakness. Laz relied on arm crutches. Piper bestowed an enchanted necklace to Laz, one that would let him warp reality and see through illusions. It was for his utmost protection and to hide from dangerous inhumans.

At the age of 14, Laz was out gardening with his father. Unbeknownst to the pair, a demon had been tracking them and tried to murder Enoch. Enoch screamed for Laz to go east. Run to the best of his ability. And that is what Laz did as his father was slain. He struggled, not able to traverse through rough terrain, but eventually, a patrol found him scratched and roughed up. Once taken to Jules to get healed, he told him how both his parents were killed, being a part of the River’s family. Jules understood immediately, starting Laz on his journey as a field agent and setting him up for some physical therapy. During this time, he met his future wife, Autumn, and her younger brother.

Later in his life, he married Autumn. While out on a patrol with Autumn, Laz was stabbed in the back by the same demon that killed his dad (At 24), resulting in temporary paralysis. Laz was visited by Enoch and Renee in a dream during his surgery. He cried it wasn’t his time, and Enoch told him it wasn’t his sweet baby's time. Tavi watched in the background, but he knew Laz could see him.

Nothing...um...cool.

He has something called clairvoyance or rarely the second sight. This second sight was originally given by angels (By the leader changing Ira's creation's visual cortex slightly), but since has become a genetic asset. 2 out of 160,000 have it. He can see the supernatural world and through human disguises. It changed the perception of the optical lobe, making them aware of the inhuman side. Most are usually mistakenly diagnosed with schizophrenia and hallucinations by doctors.

It's not power but thought I’d just put it here.
