Revenant
The figure known as Revenant is a myth as much as he is a man. His real name and origins are buried beneath layers of rumor and speculation. Some say he was once a loyal operative for a powerful corporation, betrayed and left for dead during a Synthetics uprising. Others claim he is a hybrid of man and machine, built solely to hunt those who defy the order of the galaxy.
What is known is that Revenant is the most feared bounty hunter in the Acheron System, particularly on Acheron Prime, where his legend looms largest. His specialty is tracking and capturing—or killing—Resonants and Synthetics who have fled their creators or rightful owners. His hunts are precise, brutal, and efficient, and his name alone is enough to drive many into hiding.
Revenant’s methods are as mysterious as his identity. His mastery of advanced weaponry, combat tactics, and psychological warfare makes him nearly unstoppable. Despite his reputation for cruelty, he is known to adhere strictly to the terms of his contracts, never deviating from his assignments.
Some whisper that Revenant harbors his own secrets—that his obsession with hunting Resonants and Synthetics is tied to something personal, perhaps even tragic. But those who ask too many questions about the hunter often find themselves his next target.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Revenant’s true face is hidden beneath a featureless, black tactical mask equipped with advanced optics and a voice modulator, giving him an unsettling, monotone voice. Rumors suggest that if one were to glimpse beneath the mask, they would see scars, cybernetic enhancements, or perhaps no face at all. His piercing red optical sensors, faintly glowing, are the only visible "eyes," adding to his menacing, machine-like presence.
