Cast as the tragic fallen warrior who's sold out to The Man, Jordan is all set to be the one fan-fiction writers attempt to redeem in a flurry of poor penmanship. Only the semi-encyclopaedic guidance of Balthios, the quasi-spiritual elder, will enable Charles to make sense of this godforsaken mess - but first he must dodge the authoritarian intentions of Michael Jordan, who believes Barkley to be responsible for the civilisation-wrecking Chaos Dunk.
