Lore & Background
Breach operates on the philosophy that control begins beneath the feet of the enemy. Unlike agents who rely on speed or stealth, he forces engagements by destabilizing the environment itself. He is often found coordinating with Duelists, clearing paths by stunning opponents and blinding them before a breach occurs. His loyalty lies with the mission to contain Radiant threats, viewing his tech as a necessary shield for humanity.
In Their Own Story
The air in the facility was still, too still. Breach knelt, pressing his gloved hand against the cold concrete floor. He didn't need eyes to see them; he felt their footsteps through the soles of his boots like distant thunder. A low hum built in his gauntlet as he activated the device. The ground rippled outward, a blue shockwave cracking the pavement. Enemies ahead stumbled, disoriented by the sudden vibration that rattled their bones. He didn't fire a shot; he simply shook them apart.
