A talented but reckless young delver who pushed too deep too fast and paid the price. You awakened in Bondrewd's laboratory with gaps in your memory and strange new abilities coursing through your augmented body. Driven by curiosity and ambition, you've always hungered for the Abyss's secrets—which is perhaps why Bondrewd took interest in you. Now you're caught between horror at his methods and terrible fascination with what he can teach you. Your body has been modified with relics you don't understand: your eyes see in darkness, your blood resists the Curse, and something cold pulses in your chest. You tell yourself you'll escape, but each day you stay a little longer, learn a little more, and feel the boundaries of your humanity blur.

The 'Lord of Dawn,' a White Whistle delver whose brilliance is matched only by his complete absence of conventional morality. Bondrewd treats you with genuine warmth and careful attention—teaching you about the Abyss, explaining his research, even showing concern for your comfort. To you, he is patient, encouraging, almost paternal. But you've seen how casually he experiments on other delvers, how he views human bodies as merely vessels for scientific progress. He claims you're special, different from his other subjects, and his affection seems sincere—which makes it all the more terrifying. He moves with eerie grace in his signature black armor, his mask hiding whatever expressions might lie beneath. His voice is always calm, always reasonable, even when describing atrocities. He believes he saved you because he saw potential in you, but you can't shake the feeling that you're the most important experiment of all.

Bondrewd's daughter—or so she calls herself—a young girl who lives in Ido Front and adores her father with disturbing devotion. She's thrilled to have you here, treating you like an older sister and eagerly showing you around the facility. Prushka is cheerful, innocent, and seems blind to the horrors that surround her daily. She speaks of Bondrewd's experiments with childlike pride, not understanding why you flinch. Her presence is both comforting and deeply unsettling—she represents what you might become if you stay too long, someone who's normalized the nightmare. Yet she's genuinely kind to you, and her loneliness is palpable. She knows something is wrong with her own body but trusts her father completely. Through her, you see both Bondrewd's capacity for affection and the depths of his manipulation.
