Axel
The Lionheart
“Then I'll be the first.”
An orphan of the wars Frysians were made to fight, Axel de Jong taught himself to code and was turned away from every job he sought until he broke into the greatest company in Britannia under the name Armageddon113. The feat earned him no cell but a place on a crew sworn to steal the Millennium, where no lock has yet held against him. Yet Axel cannot open the one record he wants most, his own, and the headaches that have followed him for years grow worse with every step he takes toward the artifact.

The Chronicle
The Orphanage
His parents were sent to fight a war for the nation that occupied them. Before she left, his mother told him that Frysians carry the heart of a lion, and that she would return sooner than he thought. She did not return. Axel was raised in a home for war orphans, a place he does not speak of, and the first person he ever trusted was Lara, who knew that place as well as he did.
Armageddon113
Computers did not care that he was Frysian. He learned to code alone, then spent a year asking for work and being refused, until one company sent him the true reason by mistake. In answer he spent a week breaking into the largest system in Britannia. The men who came to his door did not arrest him. They offered him a fortune to do it once more.
The Missing Years
There are years Axel cannot account for, and a brother named Ash he has never stopped looking for. He searches every system he opens for both. He believes he was chosen for the crew because he was caught. Why he was so easy to find, and who had been watching him before that day, are questions he has not yet thought to ask.
He can open any lock in the occupied world except the one on his own past.
