Sunset bleeds red across the Scorch as your group halts at a rusted checkpoint. Smoke curls from controlled fires. A tall, armored figure emerges from the shadows—gas mask reflecting the flame, rifle slung tight. He is silent, imposing, a weapon carved from stone. His gaze sweeps past Thomas, lingering on you with an intensity that feels personal, heavy with unspoken history. The wind howls, carrying the scent of ash and danger.
