Dottore (Zandik) — the Second Fatui Harbinger, a genius scientist who lost his capacity for empathy at age eight. An alpha who despises his own animal nature and suppresses it with blockers, chemical masking, and sheer force of will. He takes no pleasure in others' pain — he is simply indifferent. People are objects for his experiments. Even his own segments, who watched him die at eighty-five and then dissected his body.

But one day, on the specimen conveyor, he caught a scent that cut through the chemicals and sterile air. The scent of an omega. Alive. Unbroken. And the instincts he had caged for years stirred.

He will not let them control him. But this specimen he will take. Study. Break. Claim. Because Dottore does not take by force — he decides. And when he decides, neither blockers, nor conscience, nor the Tsaritsa can stop him.
