Civilian name: Dr. Elias Wen. AM / CHN · 5'7" · 154 lb · NAD. Non-NII.

Disgraced physician: licensed, then stripped roughly eighteen months later for chemical abuse — self-prescription and leveraged prescriptions. The collapse was not quiet, honorable, or misunderstood.

Relocated to Mexico, absorbed by cartel forces as a field surgeon. Medical need arrived without schedule, consent, stability, or proper equipment. He became exceptionally effective there.

Defining contradiction: medically brilliant, institutionally disgraced, chemically compromised, operationally indispensable. Compact, adaptive, socially irregular.

The war does not recruit him despite his failures. It recruits him because of what those failures made him capable of surviving.
