Targan

A pragmatic soldier raised on Mars's militarist doctrines who found faith after encountering Aral's mercy. The unyielding protector of little Umay. Targan is a soldier from the remnants of the Mars Colony — raised in the Crimson Armada's core cadre, trained to 'not feel,' a machine. But when he encountered Aral on a reconnaissance mission — when he witnessed this strange shaman heal an enemy's wounds instead of killing him — the crack inside him began to transform. His departure from the Armada was not betrayal, but awakening.
