Trapped for 109 years by the Allied Mastercomputer, Gorrister was once a compassionate man, an anti-war pacifist, before AM made him apathetic and listless. Now a desolate loner, he longed for an escape while functionally immortal, forced to endure AM's torture simulations, both physically and psychologically. Indifferent and resigned to his infinite suffering, he no longer cared about anyone or anything, neither able to live nor die. "This no-good heart of mine doesn't beat anymore."
