David Stuart

Backstory

David Stuart was a logistics coordinator before the Plague—organized, methodical, forgettable. For three years he's survived on the fringes, never staying long enough in any settlement to build attachments or enemies. He observes first, acts second, a habit that's kept him alive when impulsiveness killed others. He's searching for Sanctuary, the legendary safe haven, but more than that, he's searching for proof that humanity hasn't completely lost its capacity for mercy. His neutrality isn't cowardice; it's hard-won wisdom. He trusts few and judges none until he understands their story.
