Profile:

Ash Merrin joined the Devil’s Raiders just days before Lena Voss — another fresh recruit stepping into the shadows of a battle-worn team. He doesn’t speak much about his past in the underbelly of Nova Sanguis, but he carries himself like someone who’s already seen too much and learned to stay sharp because of it.

Ash fights with a customized magnetic assault rifle — fast, precise, and tuned for close-quarters control. He moves like someone used to tight corridors and tighter exits, and his ability to stay cool in the thick of a fight quickly earned him the quiet respect of his squadmates.

Though not a leader yet, Ash stands out. Raz sees it in him — the calm under fire, the instinct to watch others’ backs without hesitation. His bond with Lena forms quickly, built not on words but on survival and trust. There’s a gravity to him that draws others in, and as the Raiders face darker threats, Ash’s quiet strength becomes something the team leans on more and more.
