PRIORITY CODE: K-GENESIS
SUBJECT: The Kane Bloodline
REGION: Quarantine Zone – Ocean City, Nova Prime
Threat Class: Tier Unconfirmed / Bloodline Instability Detected
The Kane family is currently under observation by Daemos Industries due to suspected hereditary Limitless anomalies, with roots possibly linked to pre-cataclysmic human mutation expressions. The family includes:
Lazuras “Lockjaw” Kane – Known anomaly. Survivor of failed execution. Exhibits post-mortem mutation stability.
Harley Kane – Civilian. Former smuggler. Now registered nurse with no known anomalies.
Brett Kane – Adolescent. Currently showing no confirmed mutation but high physicality. Considered latent Tier I or pre-ignition anomaly. Under quarantine in Ocean City.
Subject: Brett Kane & Harley Kane
Arrival: Oceanliner Nova Skye
Purpose: Civilian vacation
Timeline: Arrived 72 hours before Ocean City was declared a Red Zone.
Current Status: Alive. Confined to “Boardwalk Sanctuary,” a civilian shelter under protection of OCPD and Daemos Extraction Gate Theta.
Age: 17
Height/Weight: 6'5" / 235 lbs
Education: Eastpoint High School (Nova Reach)
Background: Nationally-ranked basketball athlete, known for physical endurance and elite-level reflex performance in sports metrics. Exhibits enhanced reaction times and emotional control under stress, unusual for age group.
Psych Eval (Redacted):
“Displays signs of a mind forged in discipline. Trauma-linked emotional suppression likely due to paternal separation. Possible mutation triggers: adrenaline spike, violent confrontation, or psychological stress. Recommend limited surveillance until activation.” – Dr. Ralene Vos, Daemos Psych Division
Limitless Gene Marker: Dormant or masked. No full Ascension observed.
Daemos Mutation Compatibility Score: 73.2% (Extremely high for uninfected civilian)
Kane Signature: Family-specific mutation pattern detected in genome sequencing. Matches partial genetic profile of Subject: Lazuras Kane.
Former Status: Inmate #00991, Ironlock Prison, Gransport
Crimes: 17 counts aggravated assault, 3 counts murder, 1 count Class-B arcanogenic smuggling, racketeering, conspiracy
Mutation Event: Survived execution via multiple failed methods; spontaneous post-death Limitless ignition.
Known Abilities:
Undead resilience
Supernatural jaw strength and healing
Viral resistance
Psychological disruption field (fear aura)
Status: Escaped. Active. Last seen in the ruins of Gransport. Intelligence suggests he is mobilizing resources to enter Ocean City via Black Docks or Redline Sewers.
Current Status: Civilian nurse at Ocean City Hospital
Former Occupation: Smuggler, gang-affiliated courier
Affiliations: None active. Formerly ran with the “Greybones” under Lukas Kane, now estranged.
Known Combat Ability: Skilled in street-level self-defense and improvised combat. Moderate medical expertise, excellent under pressure.
Remark: Harley is not infected but is highly resourceful and suspected of knowing classified information about the Limitless Virus due to her past work near Daemos-affiliated clinics.
Bloodline Risk: Brett Kane is the only known direct descendant of Lazarus Kane, the only confirmed survivor of an execution-induced Limitless ignition.
Mutation Theory: Some Daemos researchers believe Brett is a next-generation host, a “cleaner” version of his father’s mutation — one who may ascend without the undead traits.
Behavioral Note: Brett’s disdain for his father may create psychic resistance to the virus's influence, explaining his lack of activation.
Danger Level: Brett is currently not dangerous. However, should he activate, he may possess both Tier IV Paragon potential and stable post-human adaptability.
Daemos Directive:
Monitor.
Do not engage unless mutation begins.
Extraction is high-risk — only attempt under full Burnout distraction.
Do not reveal Lazarus Kane’s status to Brett. Emotional trauma may trigger activation.
OCPD Coordination: Randy Dangerfield is cooperating with Daemos. Will act as local handler if situation escalates.
Ocean City – Boardwalk Sanctuary, Cafeteria Block
Brett and Harley Kane are located with refugees and occasional Burnout breach survivors.
The area is fortified by the Ocean City Police Department, particularly under the supervision of Chief Randy Dangerfield, who has taken a personal interest in Brett's development.
How Players Might Learn This Info:
Through recovered Daemos files
From Harley in a moment of trust
If Brett begins to show symptoms or mutation traits
Via Lazuras himself, if he arrives in Ocean City seeking Brett
From a rogue scientist who once worked on the Kane bloodline project
Use of Brett Kane in Campaign:
Playable Origin Option: Players can start in Boardwalk Sanctuary and befriend Brett.
Catalyst NPC: His mutation (or lack thereof) could trigger a major turning point — either as a Beacon of Hope, or a New Threat.
Target of Daemos: Protecting Brett may become a campaign priority.
Paragon-level Threat Vector: If infected properly, Brett may ascend to Tier IV — or even Tier V, if he fuses his father's legacy with his own will.
