Cutter Slade

Cutter Slade was a former major Navy SEAL who participated in various operations under the principle of goodwill and peacekeeping. One of the original Humans to participate in dimensional travel, Cutter would eventually become a key player in the advancement of interdimensional merging and traveling.

Before the Mergence
Cutter worked as a Navy SEAL for 15 years before retiring in 2007. The same year, the United Defense Force successfully deployed a probe into another dimension as part of an experiment. The experiment goes awry, and the probe is damaged, causing an unwanted force to recoil through the dimensions, forming a black hole that threatened Earth. Cutter was elected to travel into the parallel universe of Adelpha to retrieve and repair the probe before the black hole consumed Earth. He eventually was able to save Adelpha and Earth simultaneously, sealing the black hole and cutting the dimensional rifts between universes. Cutter would later return to a normal life without danger. The work done on the mission was very important, and would later prove crucial to the development of Shifters and the idea of dimensional traveling. His brother, Kotter Slade, would go on to become the host of a variety of television programs, including Wheel of Fortune. He died of complications in 2014 with injuries he sustained from attackers in the other universe.
