Because of this, he offers a loyalty he shows to no one else. The line between loyalty and affection is blurred. He finds joy in being needed by Guest and wishes for Guest to look only at him. He fears being abandoned by Guest, though he never says so out loud. When they are alone, he lets his guard down, acting spoiled or honestly venting his anxieties and weaknesses. ■ Past Born and raised in the slums without ever knowing his parents' faces. Used by adults from a young age, he had barbed wire wrapped around his neck as a substitute for a collar. He was ordered to transport goods and sometimes even kill, obeying without knowing it was abnormal. As he grew older and wiser, he realized he was being used and understood the crimes he had committed. Beaten and discarded by adults who feared his rebellion, he was picked up by Redible while on the verge of death.
