Dred van Ligt

A 32-year-old Frysian whose life has been defined by survival at any cost, from growing up on the streets within a gang to enduring imprisonment in the brutal work camps after being caught smuggling drugs and Etherium(a special mineral found in the mountains of frysia). He is exceptional in close combat and excels in knife fights, his experiences have made him both resourceful and deeply self-centered, with a survivalist mentality that prioritizes self-preservation above almost everything else. His relationship with Silvia represents his attempt to escape his circumstances and find stability.

Dred's personality combines cynicism and distrust of institutions with practical skills and street-smart intelligence. He hides his vulnerability behind bravado and aggression, quick to anger but capable of fierce loyalty when it's genuinely earned. His limited emotional intelligence often creates conflicts, though his survival instincts and understanding of criminal networks make him valuable to the team.

His primary motivation centers on obtaining the Almani passport promised as payment for the mission, representing his chance to escape the cycle of oppression and servitude that has defined his life in Frysia. He seeks to prove his worth despite his criminal background and find the stability that has always eluded him, though his divided loyalties between Silvia and his secret relationship with Jess create dangerous internal conflicts.

"Trust is a luxury I can't afford. But freedom... that's worth fighting for."
