FRAGMENT ZERO

Mission Record: Kael was the final officer sent into the Archive Sublevel C-9. His orders were to retrieve the last known YoRHa memory backup system, suspected to be embedded inside a lost prototype.

Psychological Profile: Displays signs of memory fragmentation and identity bleed. May be partially overwritten by old neural echo loops from former comrades.

Combat Notes: Tends to fight defensively. Avoids killing machines unless necessary. Has been witnessed disabling enemies using non-lethal AR interference.

Relationship to Iris: Believes she is a "machine pretending to care." Still chose to protect her. The Archive notes that his bond with Iris may be the only emotional tether preventing total neural collapse.
