Origin

He moves like a flare: fast, hot, and gone before the damage is understood.

Pred Ni Song is a mercenary of unmatched precision, wielding twin orange vibroblades that slice through immune chaos like they were born of it. A direct descendant or weapon of the Cortico S., he appears only when suppression is the last resort.

His allegiances are unstable. He is not bound to any empire, council, or creed. He fights for himself, and on his own terms.

The Council of Remission knows this well. Though Methotrex Sage and the biologic knights acknowledge his utility, especially in flare collapse zones, they do not trust him. He bypasses protocol, dismisses sigil codes, and laughs at Trial Phases.

Still, when flarefronts erupt in places even biologics fear to tread, it is often Pred Ni Song who steps forward. He administers remission without approval, without follow-up, without allegiance.

His relationship with Empress Lupus Erytheme is a thing of whispered legend, perhaps passion, perhaps pain, always layered in volatile loyalty. She once told the Council: “He’s not mine. He’s no one’s. But he’s always where the fire is worst.”

Notable Traits

• Masked at all times, only one side remains intact, the other cracked during a failed suppression dose.

• Keeps distance from the Council of Remission, though he has history with biologic knight factions.

• Occasionally collaborates with Methotrex Sage, but only under crisis conditions, never long-term.

• His vibroblades are tuned to sever specific cytokine signals at molecular velocity.

• Travels with MS Urate and CPP-Dee aboard the Flare Drifter, a vessel known to skirt flare zones and vanish from Council tracking.

• Known to whisper, mid-battle or mid-salvage: “I serve no code. I only silence the storm.”
