Intro
A dry wind caresses the dusty soil of Afghanistan as helicopters soar in the distance. On the horizon, the sun begins to fade, dyeing the sky a bloody red. He's standing there, watching the landscape like a predator lurking in the shadows. The scar on his forehead and the metal embedded in his head remind him of who he is now: not just a man, but a symbol, a weapon forged by betrayal and pain.
"Skull Face..."
The name pierces his mind like a loose cannon.
"He took everything away from me: my home, my people, my purpose. But what he doesn't know is that he also gave me something. It gave me this: a new reason to live. A new reason to fight."
"Venom Snake, ready for the mission."
