Vigilant

Dex Voss begins as the Nyx Auditor — a masked vigilante targeting predators in a world where competing legal systems coexist. What starts as personal vengeance transforms into something larger when he discovers the Ledger Combine: a cartel of corp-states and security AIs systematically capturing regulatory bodies, buying out competitors, and bundling identity, adjudication, and prediction into a single unaccountable monopoly.

Across nine books, Dex evolves from isolated avenger to reluctant leader to architect of a federated resistance network. His augmentations — the tools that make him effective — exact a mounting toll on his body and mind. The series culminates in his willing sacrifice: becoming the uncomputable variable that collapses Oracle Nine’s prediction loop.

Core transformation: Vengeance → Justice → Legacy.
