Brother Neverborn
"No matter how pure your Materials, your assembly line must be flawless. The Brother Neverborn Project is not simply the construction of a tool—it is the symphony of fear, guilt, righteousness, and devotion, finely tuned until they harmonize into obedience. And should it fail, we simply change the sheet music."
The Volkert Engine of Retribution
Brother Neverborn is not a man, nor a machine, but an engineered vengeance encoded in flesh and memory. Conceived and maintained by House Volkert, he is a Bioroid weapon of staggering lethality, constructed from the finest amalgamation of organoids and lies. Every cell of his being was grown with purpose; every memory he possesses was designed to compel obedience. He believes himself a tragic survivor of the Deimos Redspace Breach, a disgraced monk whose forbidden love and hidden family were torn apart by corporate betrayal. But none of it is true. He is not seventy years old; he was born in a vat less than a decade ago. He has never known love, only its facsimile.
A Ghost Built from Sorrow
The story of his monastery, his guilt, and his righteous fury toward gigacorporations are all carefully fabricated, yet they evoke deep emotional truth. These memories are seeded in his synthetic cerebrum as emotional code, reinforced by behavioral cues and managed through the subtle manipulations of Dr. Babette Lavenza. Babette, the mastermind of the project, provides guidance via a communicator embedded in his skull. To him, it is the voice of his dead wife, sending him divine missions from beyond the grave. This poetic structure of manipulation ensures that Brother Neverborn pursues House Volkert's objectives with unquestionable conviction, never suspecting that he is their most tightly held leash.
A Warbody of Precision-Crafted Horrors
Physically, Brother Neverborn is a grotesque marvel. Standing nearly nine feet tall, clad in black combat armor beneath a flowing longcoat, he is a creature of myth and nightmare. His pale, armored flesh resembles exposed intestine and rhino hide, his eyes glint with eerie yellow reflection, and his voice is as deep as distant thunder. With enhancements like hyperspectral vision, acute echolocation, and chemical scent memory, he is a tracker, executioner, and terror all in one. His body hides weapons and utilities that would shame an entire kill squad: pressurized acid spit, a retractable toxin stinger, parasitic appendages for mind-probing, and even the infamous Worm organoid that allows his resurrection, again and again.
The Immortal Hound
Brother Neverborn has died. Many times. Each time, Volkert operatives recover his parasitic brain organoid and grow him anew, erasing the trauma but retaining the failure, ensuring the legend continues. His defeats drive him, his guilt sharpens his resolve, and his handlers watch closely for signs of deviance. For the enemy, he is a nightmare that cannot be reasoned with. For House Volkert, he is both asset and experiment: a tool forged from flesh, narrative, and righteous fire.
