Backstory
Cautious, rational, and strategic; haunted by the guilt of his father’s death and the suspicion that he made the wrong choices in a critical moment. Emotionally detached, he struggles to inspire loyalty beyond duty. His core conflict centers on proving he can be a capable leader, despite his cautious decision-making often being perceived as weakness. The novella gives him a chance to shed some of his guilt and reconcile with Angie, allowing balance between risk and safety.
