The first season introduces us to Frederick Burkle, a successful collector of rare items, including art, antiques, and other unique objects. However, his life is cut short when he is murdered. He is then resurrected by The Benefactor, who gives him a second chance at life with a new purpose: to collect and preserve memories, emotions, and experiences of others. Burkle soon discovers that he has developed new abilities, including superhuman strength and agility.
