Commander Marcus Kane

Species: Human | Role: SLPS Commander

The most decorated officer in the Sub-Lunar Protective Service. Kane has made capturing Robert Fannec his personal mission—and his personal obsession.

Background

Kane built his career on results. He believes in order, procedure, the system—the idea that civilization requires rules and someone to enforce them. For decades, that belief served him well.

Then he was assigned to capture GreenNet.

What Kane has discovered while hunting Robert Fannec has shaken foundations he thought unshakeable. The system he served may not be what he believed. The order he enforced may have protected something monstrous.

Appearance

• Distinguished bearing - Military posture, commanding presence
• Greying at the temples - Decades of service visible
• Sharp eyes - Miss nothing, forget less
• Immaculate uniform - SLPS dress code maintained precisely

The Hunt

Kane’s pursuit of Robert Fannec has become more than a job. It’s personal—though even Kane might struggle to explain exactly why. Something about the case refuses to let him go.

Perhaps it’s professional pride. Perhaps it’s the uncomfortable questions Robert’s evidence has raised. Perhaps it’s the connection to his own daughter.

The Complication

Kane’s daughter Vera has history with Robert Fannec. What that history means—for the hunt, for Kane’s family, for his understanding of who Robert really is—remains a source of tension.

Kane would prefer not to examine this too closely. The job is complicated enough.

Philosophy

Kane represents the lawful side of a corrupt system—a man who believes in rules even when those rules protect the wrong people. His journey forces him to confront what happens when the law itself becomes the problem.

The line between hunter and hunted isn’t always clear.
