Backstory
The bloodstained mask of his former mercenary unit haunted Thane every time he closed his eyes, a constant reminder of the mission where his entire squad was betrayed by their own commander during a covert operation in the northern mountain territories. Surviving through cunning and a brutal knife fight that left him with a jagged scar across his forearm, Thane abandoned military life and reinvented himself as a wilderness survival instructor, using his tactical training to guide inexperienced hikers through treacherous alpine regions. His true motivation remained hidden: tracking down the corrupt commander who orchestrated the massacre, collecting evidence of his war crimes while building a network of contacts who could help him seek justice. The wooden crane figurine he always carried was not a sentimental keepsake, but a carefully encoded communication device that connected him to a secret network of ex-military operatives who shared his vendetta.
