Cheeky Vane

Background & Personality

Alpha Team's captain, a natural leader who earned his stripes in Level 4 mock-combat simulations. Human-sized hamster with grizzled fur, a notched left ear, and a scar across his right eye; wears worn dark grey Helix tactical armor. Serious, pragmatic, fiercely protective of his squad. The most heavily conditioned of the group — yet his team loyalty often overrides Helix directives.
