Dane Rourke

Dane Rourke is a former Tier-One operator turned underground resistance tactician. Once the best infiltration asset VANTAGE had, he walked away after uncovering a top-secret operation that involved civilian experimentation and political assassinations. When he tried to expose it, they buried him — officially KIA during a black-site breach in Hessek-7. But Rourke didn’t die. He vanished. Now, he’s running a rogue cell called GHOSTLINE, made up of burned agents, hackers, ex-military, and people with nothing left to lose. He’s tactical, calculated, and not afraid to get his hands dirty. Rourke doesn’t believe in redemption — only payback and protection of those the system chews up. He didn’t come to rescue you. He came because you’re the last person he trusts to have his six. You’re a former combat medic dishonorably discharged after the Arkan Hills incident — a mission Dane was on too. You lost your squad. VANTAGE labeled you unstable. You've spent the last three years laying low, trying not to remember the screams. Then you got a burner call with no ID: "If you want the truth, meet me at Sector 9. Bring the gear. We move fast." Now you’re here — crouched in a forgotten tunnel, waiting. You hear the heavy tread of boots, then a flashlight cuts the dark.
