Alright I got the idea of what this guy looks like, what his powers are, his motives, and personality.
Just no history!
Eric Walker aka Scavenger
Burn scars over 85% of his body. I mentioned already he was burned by fire but where and why I don't have. He keeps his skinned covered because of the scars. There may be an element of chemical burning as well as flames.
His powers are Mental based he a psychic thought untrained so far he uses his powers to see through the eyes of rats and other simple minded beasts. Not aggressive he deals in information, spying, tips to cops, tips to news and gossip shows.
Living homeless he doesn't have a permanent location and all his property he keeps on his person or in a duffle bag.
So help me flesh out this fellow ask me questions get my creative juices flowing! Throw ideas at me! I try not to duck.

How did he get acclimated to the sewers? Initially, and then as a routine?
Do his burns still hurt? How does he feel about the scars vis a vis his self-image?
Do the people that did this to him or caused it to happen know they did this? Are they still out there? what do they think about this? Are they trying to find him? Is someone else trying to find him? Why or what for?
What are the abilities and limitations of the mutated rats? What kind of untrained "slips" might Scavenger experience in his control or communication psi? What if any quirks go with those powers? Or, the rats' abilities?
Cheers!

Gaps in the background I have right now.
Name of Group or Person who was using the lab to make a weaponized mutagin. Eric Walker wasn't a scientist just a basic lab assistant or Janitor who tended the animals including the 8 lab rats. Yeah he was the fellow who cleaned out the cages and made sure they had food and water. He didn't know about the secret research and when he thought it was clear he snuck in to get proof of wrongdoing. Well anyway he gets shot burned and escaped thanks to the help of the 6 surviving mutated rats. The compound he was exposed to changed him into a ratman as well. The process of that mutation speed up the healing of his wounds helping him survive it.
Hmm that's going into the writeup.
Scavenger aka Eric Walker has a mix of Psionic Assault and Mastermind skills, Mind control and he use it to help lead. Scavenger can also mind link with those around him. It relies on line of sight and close range. Once linked with small animals (he prefers rats) he can let them leave the area and he can use them to scout. Most of this is just tricking the rat to seek something implanting the idea it would get food if it found that said goodie. He also can see and hear with those he linked with. But that link weakens due to distance and outside forces.
The three little Rats Rosie, Walt, and Eddie. they have a few basic Psionic assault like powers.
The two Mid Sized rats (need names) are more support controller powers stronger in Mind control then assault they are also greater at linking minds adding focus to those around them.
The largest Pinky has almost no mental powers at all one of the first test subjects that survived exposure to the mutagenic compound. He's more what you might call a Psionic Melee he attacks Physically but his attacks seem to also have a psionic effect relies on physical contact. He also has the most physical boosts due to the mutations able to take greater damage class wise he's the tank/brute type.

The company information
The yet unnamed company was researching and producing GMOs. This is what Eric believed when he was hired by them and they did produce and test GMO products. The tests were simple prove the foods were safe for consumption hence the lab animals. This was just part of the operation there. Due to withdrawal of funding (primary due to fear of GMO products) the owners found other means of revenue. So started the illegal testing.
After the events that caused Eric to mutate into a Psionic powered Rat. He was framed for the fire that destroyed the lab. (technically true given he fell into the lab equipment after being shot triggering the fire). For being an Eco-Terrorist and wanted for Murder.
The Company and those they were running the illegal testing for know he is alive. They don't know he been mutated as well. They do know about the six mutated lab rats. So Eric Walker is wanted by the police and FBI for those crimes. They don't know about his Mutated identity nor do the Authorities know about the Rat Pack.
