Battle Pass[]
When you want the best in the world, skill will only take you so far. You can't do the top jobs if you don't have the top tech, and that's why I was recruited into Nighthaven.
Kali put us on the map. She believed in what I could do, and together we built the most reliable and renowned private military company there is. That's our legacy.
I'm a long way from making toys in my aunt's basement, but I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
