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 locked onto the shadows, his heart racing with anticipation. He knew that sound, the sound of footsteps echoing off the warehouse walls.

Alex's eyes met his, a look of alarm on his face. "We have to get out of here," he whispered.

Ethan nodded, his mind racing with a plan. They had to move fast, before whoever was behind them could get the drop.

They sprinted towards the door, their footsteps echoing off the walls. But as they reached the exit, Ethan realized that it was locked.

"Alex, the door is locked!" he yelled.

Alex spun around, his eyes scanning the room. "There's another way out!" he shouted.

But before they could move, the lights in the warehouse flickered and died. They were plunged into darkness.

Ethan's heart sank. They were trapped.
