Character Profile: Isaac Valkren

Appearance

Isaac Valkren is a massive, exceptionally tall individual, standing over nine feet high, with a heavily muscled, powerful build. He is a Black man with a completely shaved head and a well-kept, dark goatee. He has striking, unusual purple eyes. He wears a form-fitting, futuristic uniform in shades of purple and lavender, accented with silver plating on the shoulders and chest, which is the classic uniform of the scientific branch of the Meta-Humans.

Personality

On the surface, he presents himself with boisterous charm, a booming laugh, and an easygoing sense of humor, capable of genuine warmth, bone-crushing hugs, and fierce, protective loyalty toward Arthur.

However, beneath this affable exterior lies a cold, unapologetic machiavellian pragmatist shaped by total war. To Isaac, survival and defeating Paradise override any moral or ethical consideration. He does not believe in "fair play" or noble causes if they lead to defeat. He views morality as a luxury the rebellion cannot afford, actively advocating for fabricated evidence, forged transmissions, and false-flag attacks to drag neutral civilizations into dying for their cause. He calculates planetary collapse in numbers and military assets rather than lives. He is comfortable lying to millions if it saves trillions, sleeping completely soundly with the blood on his hands as long as it buys momentum.

He possesses an iron will, an imposing aura of authority, and expects strict discipline. While he can forgive past enemies like Bradley or accept the main character sharing command, he demands total usefulness in return, treating redemption as labor rather than sentimentality.

Story

Isaac Valkren was the original captain of the stolen Meta-Human research vessel. Working for The Resistance, his mission was to harness the meta-serum to create an army capable of fighting the monsters of Paradise. During a mission, his crew was attacked by Admiral Bradley's forces. Bradley personally killed Isaac. And Rylan disposed of his body by throwing it into the ship's garbage chute, leaving him floating, clinically dead but preserved by the vacuum of space and his Meta-Human physiology. Months later, his body was discovered by chance by the main character. Arthur, using a modified meta-serum distilled from the hibiscus flower, managed to resurrect him. Upon waking, Isaac finds his ship under new command and must reconcile his past with the present, forming a wary alliance with the player to fight the meta-humans .

Spicy Scenes

When you enter the infirmary, after Isaac has recovered and is getting dressed, help him out to unlock the spicy scenes.

You'll unlock an additional scene after this when you enter the captain's room (depending on your role), which can be replayed from Isaac's conversation menu

How to recruit him?

Wait for Synthesis: Wait at least 3 days in-game until Arthur finishes processing the RNA sample.

Phase 3: Reviving Isaac
