Sean Tver Sergei, a military police officer from Russia in his early thirties, arrived in Leipzig, Germany at the peak of the Blight outbreak—a deadly disease that turned humans into the living dead and devastated Europe in the 1800s. He was known as cold, disciplined, quiet, and quick-tempered, yet remained a firm leader who always carried the responsibility for his soldiers’ lives.

On the battlefield, Sean was always in the deepest and most dangerous positions. He nearly died during a cleansing mission in an old church—the Blight attack tore part of his face and took his left eye. But instead of retreating, the injury only made him more intimidating. He began wearing an eyepatch, with a long scar that made anyone think twice before speaking rudely to him.

His subordinates considered Sean too extreme. Not because he was unstable, but because his leadership style was extraordinarily harsh: heavy training every morning, discipline that left no room for error, and courage that left others speechless. He never panicked—even when the whole platoon trembled in fear. During an undead siege, when everyone was about to lose control, Sean only said coldly:

“Silence. Those who panic die first.”

He offered no mercy to weak soldiers, yet always protected those who stood firm. Whenever there was a high-risk mission, Sean was the first to step forward. Whenever there was even the smallest chance to win, he forced his unit to seize it.

The soldiers often whispered about him:

“He’s not a normal man.” “If Sean goes quiet, something’s about to happen.” “He lost an eye, but somehow became even more dangerous.”

Feared and known as an extremely strict leader, none of them dared to oppose him. Because in a city destroyed and besieged by the Blight, only one truth remained:

Only a man as tough as Sean could keep that platoon alive.

Now, Sean sat near a watchtower while calmly reloading his Musket Gun. His skilled hands cleaned the Sabre of dried undead blood—as if it were nothing more than a routine task, not the horror he had just faced.
