The Warden of Bagne
The last authority TEC1 ever appointed here, and the only one who never stood down. He does not hunt you — he convenes a sentence, and the whole garrison carries it out.
42 named hunters — out there right now
Draw enough heat on this island and you stop being anonymous. One of these marks you by name, sends a warning, and comes for you — and every time they find your trail again, they bring more guns. Some hunt alone. Some ride in with a horde at their back.

Everything shuffling on this island came out of one room, one body, one mistake. It is still walking, and everything it made comes with it.
Runs the island like an occupied territory: sectors, checkpoints, quotas. You are not a prisoner to Hask, you are an administrative problem with a deadline.
Buried in the mass grave at Bagne twice. Dug himself out twice. The men who filled that grave now march behind him.
You hear them before you see them — hundreds of throats making one sound. He conducts. They arrive on the beat.
Took the west quarry with nine men and holds it with ninety. Kade does not raid — he annexes, and he has decided where you are standing is his.
Sister Vex went looking for who armed the drifters. Nadja is the answer, and she brought the inventory with her.
Kept operating long after the anaesthetic ran out and long after the patients stopped objecting. His ward walks with him now.
Seen at distance for years and never up close by anyone still breathing. Where he stops walking, the dead start arriving.
Comes off the water at dusk with a crew that has never once left survivors to describe them. The tide going out is the only warning.
Burns a base down to see who runs out of it. Whatever survives the fire, her people take apart at the treeline.
A TEC1 designation, not a name — the ninth burial detail, still filing reports on a network with nobody left to read them. They are behind on quota.
Builds with what is left of the people who lost to him, and hangs the work where the next ones will walk past it.
Walked out of the nuclear zone with his crew intact and none of them right since. They do not take cover any more.
Collects the ones the island has already killed and sends them back out to work. Her congregation is always growing.
Shot, burned, and buried more times than anyone can count — Kroll always walks back out of the treeline. Comes with a wall of nuclear dead and does not stop.
TEC1 command sent the recall order years ago. Ferro burned it and kept the doctrine anyway — perfect formations, zero mercy, an occupation nobody is left to authorize.
Never speaks, never runs. Where he walks the infected rise and follow. You will hear the horde before you ever see the man leading it.
No name, no words, no warning — just the sudden certainty that you are not alone anymore. The best-armed drifters on the island answer to a man who has never once spoken.
A slab of a man who fights with a cleaver and leaves what is left where the crows can find it. His crew are as heavy as he is.
Digs the grave before the fight. Patient, methodical, and never alone — his pallbearers arrive armed and in numbers.
A TEC1 field commander who treats the whole island as one long operation. Cold, precise, and never seen without a squad moving to her hand signals.
They say she died first and simply refused to lie down. Now the dead shuffle after her like children, and she leads them to whoever is still warm.
Keeps trophies from everyone who has ever fought him and lost. His raiding party wears the proof. Losing to Reeves means becoming part of his collection.
Preaches to the reanimated like a congregation and genuinely believes he is shepherding them somewhere better. They follow. So does whoever he points them at.
Ran a prison block before the collapse and never gave up the habit of command. Rolls deep with drifters who owe him their lives.
Used to keep the island's engines running. Now she welds scrap plate onto her crew instead and fields the heaviest-armored drifters anyone has seen.
Deserted TEC1 with a full weapons cache and never looked back. Runs his own private army now, paid in salvage, loyal to nobody but him.
Still wears the TEC1 insignia and still gives orders like the war never ended. Fights in disciplined fireteams, not a mob.
Never loses a trail once he has your scent. Tracks for days and brings a squad to finish what the chase started.
Ran the cell blocks before the collapse and never stopped thinking of survivors as inmates. His fireteam still enforces a curfew nobody agreed to.
A prison chaplain before the collapse, still gives last rites — right before his crew makes them necessary. Calm voice, cold work.
Fought three wars before the island and lost count of the graves. Commands a warband of drifters who would follow him into hell — and usually do.
Burns out the places you sleep. Travels light and fast with a handful of hardened drifters who like fire as much as he does.
Half his face is melted and he likes it that way. Everything Cinder touches ends up ash, and he brings friends who feel the same about fire.
Fast, sharp, and never where you last saw her. Runs hit-and-run squads that hit once, hard, and are gone before you can regroup.
A lone knife in the dark. Rarely more than one shadow with him — but that shadow is enough. Kills quiet and leaves before you know he was there.
A TEC1 marksman who stayed at his post long after the orders stopped coming. One rifle, one shadow, and a patience that outlasts anyone he is hunting.
Twitching, scarred, and grinning through the rads. Scavenges the nuclear ground no one else will walk and drags back whatever is left of the people who tried.
Half-turned and all the more dangerous for it. Shambles at the edge of the dead, more corpse than crew, but he remembers your face.
Barely speaks, barely seems to notice you're there — until you realize the shuffling behind her has been closing the distance the whole time.
A TEC1 scout who went rogue and never reported back. Works alone with one guard he trusts, and he is always closer than you think.
A hunter loses your trail after three sightings — survive them, and the island forgets your name. For a while.
