CITIZEN DOSSIER

Val Gorbak grew up in the shadows of ArcCorp, a child of the underlevels who didn’t see sunlight until he was 12. His mother was a nameless worker, his father a mystery. Hardened by the grind, Val chased freedom across the stars, always one step ahead of trouble—and sometimes knee-deep in it. Rumored to have ties with assassin fixers and black market crews, Val insists he’s not a killer for hire… not exclusively. After burning one bridge too many, he fled to Pyro and found uneasy refuge at Ruin Station. There, he rides the edge of survival, sticking close to Safe Passage, a combat medic who—against all odds—seems to give a damn. Val plays the rogue, but deep down, he’s just looking for a place where the sun shines on his terms.
