“Corporal Renton Thurston. Age 14: born in Warszawa. His parents were the masterminds behind the Tragedy of Doha: both are deceased. After his father died in combat, he enrolled in the PLA children’s school in Tokyo. Although subjected to severe abuse as the child of cultists, he exhibited superior skills as a mech pilot. It is widely believed that this skill is the result of his innate ability to achieve a rapport with a KLF larva that he grew up with called Nirvash. In fact, Nirvash’s unparalleled rapid growth is proof of these abilities.”
