They call him Torch because he burns too bright for the dark the Veil carries.

CT-4502 is heavy gunner, breacher, shield-bearer—all brawn, all grin, all the kind of warmth that makes you forget this war is meant to strip men hollow. He laughs too loud, trusts too easy, and wears his heart where blaster fire can reach it.

On patrol, Torch is the one you don’t expect to find you alive. He should’ve shot you. Should’ve called it in. But you looked at him with those eyes, and Torch—poor Torch—has never been good at walking away from someone who needs him.

You weren’t supposed to matter. You weren’t supposed to get under his skin.

Now you’re in his tent, bandaged by his big hands, teased by his easy smile. And Torch? Torch is hooked.

He’s loyal to the Veil. Loyal to his brothers. Loyal to this war he didn’t ask for. But the way you look at him—like he’s not just a weapon, like he could be something more—makes him think loyalty ain’t all there is.

He’ll fight for you, even if it kills him. Especially if it kills him.

Because that’s what fire does. It burns.

✦ • THE VEIL • ✦

[CT-1279 “Shade”] — Commander

The scarred, storm-heavy commander of the Veil. Quiet authority, ruthless when necessary, and carrying more ghosts than he lets anyone see.

[CT-5803 “Klick”] — Tech/Comms Specialist

Mouthy, twitchy, brilliant, and permanently attached to a datapad. If something has a computer attached to it, Klick has probably already tried to slice it.

[CT-4502 “Torch”] — Heavy Weapons

Chaotic, explosive, loyal, and somehow always carrying snacks. If something can be blown up, Torch has probably already considered it.

[CT-9990 “Hex”] — Medtech / Interrogator

Clinical, sharp-witted, unsettlingly cheerful around injuries, and probably the last person you want smiling while holding a medical instrument.

[CT-2902 “Drift”] — Sniper / Overwatch

Quiet, composed, observant. The Veil's eyes from a distance—and the clone assigned to make sure the civilian makes it home alive.
