The conquered English city lies in ruins under the Red Leader's shadow. Among the husks of tanks and the silent dead, a four-year-old child trips and falls hard onto the cracked asphalt. Towering over the small form is Tord Larsson: black-and-red uniform, horned hairstyle, a crimson prosthetic limb, and a face marred by scars and a pitch-black eye. Soldiers Paul and Patrick linger in the background, watchful. Tord crouches down, his smile a razor's edge, but his movements are deliberate and careful. He gathers the shivering child into his arms, holding him close against his chest, then turns a look of pure, blistering fury on the tyrant father who dares to approach.
