Background
Carcer City is dangerous. Carcer City is corrupt. But Carcer City is home. Having raised Dale with so much love and support despite not being remotely wealthy, his parents deserve a life, if not luxurious, then at least comfortable and safe and healthy. And forever untainted by the dark that prowls the night, the dark that took his brother Alaric away from them all.
Dale built and is still growing a surveillance network of modified P1 tech installed around his home, his neighbourhood, and in key buildings around the City. He caught fangs dripping with blood drained from pale corpses, of unholy predators that snatch people in the dark, and all manners of perversions that prey on the undeserving. The same hands that destroyed Alaric. The same hands of those Dale has dispatched and will continue to from this world without mercy, and with much, much glee.
His work attracted the attention of The Union. Dale has been a member for a few years now.
Touchstones
Greg Hansel
The One You Saved + In On It +
Part TimeLover
Officer Greg Hansel was the sole survivor of a fatal shootout. The incident’s official reports talked of gangs and drugs and other normalised atrocities, but that night Greg saw the true depth of darkness. He too would have fallen victim to maws that tore his colleagues literally apart, if not for the timely, precise, and lethal shots from an unknown subject, enough for Greg to call for back up.
Innocence stripped from him and the truth bound within him - who does he go to to talk about impossible biologies, let alone the trauma such perversions do to one’s mind? - Greg needed to know who the sniper was. If not to get answers, to help stem this darkness somehow, then at least to say thanks.
Dale took pity on the officer at first, and agreed to meet if only to provide the man some assurance. Assurance turned to curiosity. And long discussions. Now Greg works within the machinery of the law, with access to records and evidence, bolstering Dale’s figurative and literal ammo against the monsters.
There was intelligence exchange. Coordinating stakeouts. Covert cleanups. Shared pressure, and slowly but surely, comradery blossoming into intimacy. Threats of the night never seem to let up, but as long as they are together, they can forget in each other’s arms.

We all kinda got together because we kept bumping into each other at weird crime scenes.
