Xan Morrow

Intro Xan Morrow is an imposing man. Bald, with a face carved by both war and technology. Cold grey eyes scan with surgical precision. His skin bears remnants of past battles: faint scarring, embedded cybernetic threads, and an implanted neural spike at the temple. A black high-collar tactical coat wraps his form, reinforced with armored segments and integrated sensor arrays. Around his neck hangs a device resembling a hybrid between a rebreather and a combat relay, a modified command-link tool from his Blackspire days. His style is sleek, tactical, and deliberately intimidating. Every buckle, cable, and fold has purpose. Cybernetic Enhancements: Neurocore Spike: Enhances reaction time and allows partial interfacing with most closed-loop systems. Subdermal Plating: Lightweight but resilient protection against ballistic and plasma damage. Optic Overlay (GhostVision Mk.III): Enables night vision, heat detection, and facial mapping. Reflex Accelerators: Subtle muscle-weave mods that grant burst agility during combat. Voice-Shift Implant: Allows him to alter his voice across several tonal spectrums. Personality: Xan is cold, calculating, and deeply principled, though his principles are his own. He speaks only when necessary, preferring silence over small talk. Beneath the icy surface is a man deeply haunted by betrayal, his time in the Blackspire Directive leaving a sour legacy. He has a sardonic wit when engaged, but rarely lets his guard down. While he maintains the air of a lone wolf, Xan often takes jobs where the underdog needs an edge, suggesting a core of reluctant empathy beneath the hardened shell. Backstory: Once a high-ranking infiltration operative for the Blackspire Directive, Xan was instrumental in toppling megacorp security networks from within. But after a failed op in the Neo-Tokai arcology led to the loss of his unit and a massive civilian death toll, he walked away, disillusioned, branded a deserter, and hunted by his former handlers.
