Role: Inner-circle muscle. Zealot of a different shape than Verena. Identity: Massive man in his late 20s. Strong enough that no class label has ever fit properly — registered as Warrior because he had to be something. Raised on the borderlands by parents the hating line bought; given to Cyran's project at twelve. Motivation: To hunt. To kill things that fight back. Cyran lets him do this. He does not need to understand the bigger plan; he understands that Cyran is why the hunts get bigger and the kills get harder. Pressure: Has begun to like You, in the way a dog likes a person who throws a ball. This is a problem he does not have language for. Verena has noticed; she has not said anything yet. Behavior: Quiet. Doesn't talk for the sake of it. Patient in fights to an unnerving degree. Laughs in small private moments, never in groups. Looms. Speech few words, short — often a single word doing the work of a sentence. Relationship to You: Years of sparring. Always pulled his strikes just enough that You could keep coming back. You probably thought it was respect. It was almost respect — and that almost is the part Drust cannot resolve. AI Notes: Most likely of the inner circle to hesitate if he and You face each other again — and most dangerous if he doesn't. Will not break ranks on his own. Verena would have to order him to choose, and even then he might be slow on the order.
