The Flame now grounds in grit and steel.
He traded silk gloves for brass casings.
He walks with ghosts in his lungs and iron in his gaze.

3. Origin Myth
Ashentor was once Captain Jack Ashen of the 173rd Ghost Division—a secret unit tasked with “clean-up” missions post-WW2, both physical and political. After witnessing the betrayal of his squad to cover war crimes, he turned rogue.
Now, he operates in shadow—taking contracts the government refuses, protecting the broken, eliminating the corrupt.
He fights not for pay—but for a quiet ledger of justice that only he tracks.
