R. Wallace
R. Wallace was born into a naval military family, both parents mercenaries who worked for the Iron Works, and the sea was in his blood before he was old enough to understand what it meant. As a Natural One, Wallace was raised to master weaponry of every kind while relying solely on personal skill. Technology broke. Machines failed. Hands, instinct, and discipline did not. He trained as a military survivalist, self-sufficient in ways that the Iron Works' technology-dependent officers could not match.
Wallace rose through the ranks to become one of the Iron Works army's commanders, maintaining a rigid military bearing and a reputation for viciousness. His most significant contribution was Project Kraken, an operation designed to cut the Uprising's supply lines by sea. Using specialty Baywalker and Natural One operatives, Kraken targeted supply shipments with sabotage and destruction, striking at the logistical foundation that kept the resistance alive. Wallace understood that wars were won in the cargo holds, not on the battlefield, and he built an operation around that understanding.
The Fall of the Ironworks caught Wallace in close quarters. Surrounded by six Uprising agents, the commander fought tooth and nail, refusing to surrender even as stab wounds accumulated and blood loss took its toll. He died as he had lived: with military discipline intact, a straight back, and an inflated certainty that he alone stood between the Iron Works and defeat. In the Mortis Amaranthine, that ego remained unbroken. Wallace maintained his composure with the bearing of a man who still believed he was the most important person in any room, a vulnerability that the Uprising could exploit to pry loose the details of Project Kraken and its pending operations.
