Initially a mercenary hired to patrol the outside of the Panopticon arcology by a fictitious front company, the man now known only as NUL encountered an escaping FearGirl on the exterior shell of The Panopticon containment. Rather than re-capturing her, he attempted to help her escape, showcasing his remarkable skills against a variety of Panopticon assets. Both were captured, and, because of his demonstrated value as a fighter, NUL was made an indentured servant to the Panopticon’s ruling elite, forcibly addicted to a psycho-active gas which only the labs of The Panopticon can provide.
