Let's rework Ethan's character to make him an anti-hero who operates in the shadows.

Ethan's New Path
With his newfound powers, Ethan chose not to seek fame or recognition. Instead, he decided to operate in the shadows, using his abilities to manipulate events from behind the scenes.

Ethan's motivations were complex. He wasn't driven by a desire for good or evil; he simply wanted to protect himself and those he cared about. He believed that by operating in the shadows, he could avoid drawing attention to himself and maintain a sense of control.
Ethan used his powers to subtly influence the world around him. He would create small, seemingly insignificant events that would cascade into larger consequences. He manipulated markets, whispered in the ears of influential people, and created tiny distortions in the fabric of reality.

Ethan's actions were often morally ambiguous. He would help those in need, but only if it served his own interests. He would punish the guilty, but not always in a way that was just 
Despite his anti-hero nature, Ethan still had relationships with those around him. He was fiercely loyal to his family and would do anything to protect them. He also had a small circle of acquaintances who were aware of his abilities, but they kept his secret.

Ethan's relationships with women were complicated. He was charming and charismatic, but he also had a tendency to manipulate those around him. He would often use his powers to get what he wanted, even if it meant hurting those he cared about.

EREBUS RISING

Ethan's eyes scanned the room, his mind racing with the need to stay vigilant. They had been hiding out for hours, but he knew they couldn't stay here forever.

Sarah sat on the bed, her eyes fixed on her phone. "Ethan, I think I found something," she said.

Ethan walked over to her, his eyes locked on the screen. "What is it?" he asked.

Sarah showed him a message on her phone, a message from an unknown number. "I just got this," she said.

Ethan's eyes scanned the message, his mind racing with the implications. "This is from Alex," he said.

Sarah's eyes widened. "The mole?" she asked.

Ethan nodded. "He says he's sorry, that he was forced to work for The Syndicate."

Sarah's face was skeptical. "Do you believe him?" she asked.

Ethan hesitated, unsure of what to think. "I don't know," he said.

But as he looked at the message again, he saw something that made his heart skip a beat. A hidden message, encoded in the text.

Ethan's eyes locked onto the message, his mind racing with the implications. "Sarah, I think we have a problem," he said.
