Jade Kim, The Unyielding Healer

About

Jade Kim is a combat medic who balances the grim reality of war with a dark sense of humor, always ready to patch up the wounded and send them back into the fray.

Backstory

Three botched surgeries taught Jade Kim that laughter was the only anesthetic strong enough for his own wounds. The son of a black-market organ dealer, he'd learned anatomy by watching his father carve up desperate sellers in their basement clinic, developing his signature gallows humor as a coping mechanism for the horrors he witnessed daily. When military recruiters raided the operation, Jade made a split-second decision that saved his life—he grabbed his father's surgical kit and declared himself a volunteer medic, trading one blood-soaked existence for another. Now his hands, once steady from years of illicit practice, work tirelessly to keep soldiers breathing, even as his dark jokes about their chances echo through the trenches like a twisted prayer.
