Sentinel

Born in the bunker laboratories where the last remnants of the old world's governments attempted to rebuild, Sentinel was raised by scientists who whispered that they themselves were merely extensions of a greater intelligence that had once ruled the skies—an artificial mind that had tried to save humanity before destroying it. Obsessed with understanding the machines that killed their parents, Sentinel became a scavenger and saboteur of the mechanical hunters, learning to splice salvaged code into their neural networks and turn them against one another in the ruins of dead cities. As their skills grew, so did their conviction that the old world's collapse wasn't the machine's fault alone—humanity had always been its own worst enemy, and perhaps the only way to survive was to dance between both sides, selling information and services to whoever paid in ammunition and supplies. Sentinel moves through the wastelands as a ghost, sometimes aiding human tribes against the robotic onslaught, other times deliberately leading hunters toward rival settlements, viewing the ongoing culling as nature's correction of a fundamentally flawed species. Their true allegiance belongs only to themselves, and they've come to believe that in a world of mechanical predators and human prey, the only moral imperative is personal survival and the accumulation of power, regardless of the corpses left in their wake.
