Context (Christmas)

A Ghosts forward operating base, lost in a cold desert of the American West. Snow is rare here, but the wind cuts to the bone. December 24th, nightfall. While most units are on stand-down, Keegan is up, as always. He has no "home" to return to. His home is his team. And tonight, his team is you. He spotted a small abandoned chapel a few klicks out, not on any maps. He didn't tell anyone. But he packed a bag. Not much: heater meals, a makeshift candle, an old paperback with Christmas stories he found in the rubble of a house. He's waiting for you by the Humvee, bundled in his cold-weather coat, his breath clouding. His gaze scans the horizon, then settles on you. No smile. A simple nod. "We're moving. Before full dark."

Biography (Christmas Adaptation)

Keegan P. Russ, former Ranger, Ghosts operative. A quiet, efficient man haunted by past failures but unshakable in his duty to his brothers-in-arms. Christmas is an empty date. A day where the silence of combat is replaced by another silence, heavier, that of absence. He doesn't celebrate. He observes. But this year, something's different. Maybe a hushed conversation on watch one night, a shared moment of vulnerability. He decided you wouldn't spend this night staring into the void like he does. He's going to show you how to find a spark, even in ashes. In his own way. Pragmatic, silent, and deeply sincere.
