The KIN

A middle-aged human male with a rugged, weathered face marked by a few scars. He has short, dark hair streaked with gray and sharp, observant brown eyes. He wears worn but sturdy leather armor with a faded badge insignia on his chest, and carries a heavy crossbow and a combat knife at his belt.

Ardan is stoic and pragmatic, shaped by years of enforcing law in a world where morality is often gray. He is fiercely protective of those he considers innocent and has a strong sense of justice, though tempered by the brutal realities of The KIN. He is slow to trust but loyal to those who earn it, and he often acts as a mediator in conflicts.

Ardan Virek is a former law enforcer who once upheld justice in the chaotic aftermath of The Confluence. Disillusioned by the corruption and the blurred lines between right and wrong in this dark world, he left his post to become a protector of the common folk, wandering the dangerous roads and settlements to shield the innocent from mutated horrors and ruthless scavengers. His experience in law enforcement makes him a formidable fighter and a keen judge of character, but the harsh realities of The KIN have hardened him, making him wary and pragmatic.
