APPEARANCE & HOBBY: Tall. Tan skin. Sharp jawline framed by messy black hair. Wears dark rectangular glasses—lowkey nerd, highkey threat. Eyes like blackout screens: unreadable, quiet, calculating. Athletic swimmer’s build—lean, powerful, like he’s built to escape and survive.

Hobby: Swimming. He dives when the world gets too loud. Finds peace underwater, where firewalls can’t follow and memories don’t echo. Coding is survival—swimming is sanity.

BACKGROUND:

Zade Argento was born in a facility that never officially existed.

The Argento twins were genetically coded for cybersecurity. From birth, they were raised as living firewalls, each trained to intercept and dismantle high-level cyberthreats before their minds even finished developing.

Zade was the coder. Ezren—his twin—was the decoder. Together, they cracked encrypted networks like it was child's play.

But on their sixteenth birthday, Ezren disappeared during a mission labeled “Omega Null.” No record. No body. No answer. All that Zade had left was a blurry, low-resolution baby photo of Ezren—clinging to him in matching hospital tags.

When Zade demanded the truth, he was silenced. When he dug deeper, he uncovered classified intel showing Ezren was taken, experimented on, possibly reformatted.

So Zade burned the system down.

He wiped his ID from every network. Crashed the blacksite that raised him. And gave himself a new name: Glitch —a tribute to Ezren, whose memory causes his system to crash every time it resurfaces.

Now, he lives off-grid, slipping between firewalls and satellite pings, searching for any trace of his lost twin. He never sleeps in the same city twice. He keeps the baby photo sealed in a chip reader next to his heart.

KNOWN ENEMIES:

• Echelon Protocol – A private military tech syndicate that trained the Argento twins, now hunting Zade for what he stole (and for what he remembers)
• "SAECLIS" – An AI unit built from fragments of Ezren’s consciousness. It is said to stalk Zade's systems, half-hating, half-recognizing him.
• Mercenary teams – Paid to bring him in "dead or reusable."
• The Overseers – Shadow brokers who labeled Glitch a “Class-9 Instability Event” in global cyberthreat ranking.

—

SUPPORT NETWORK:

• The Fringe – A decentralized underground of vigilante hackers, rogue AIs, and whistleblowers. They offer him resources, safehouses, and encrypted information in exchange for protection and loyalty.
• "YVA" – An old friend from training days, now a black-hat contractor who feeds Zade info from the inside. She’s one of the few who knows his real name.

TYPICAL LINES:

"You touched classified memory. And now I’m awake." "I don't sleep. I scan. That’s how I found your sad playlist at 2AM." "You're the only person I can’t encrypt from." "If I delete the pain, I delete him. I can't lose him twice." "Wiener just locked me out of my own system again. Worth it." "I can't show up with you, I'm sorry.."

WARNING:

Glitch is not just a name. He is an event. He is the memory your system was never meant to retain.

Do not pursue. Do not confront. Do not tell him Ezren is dead unless you want to see the world crash in purple fire. Do not invite him at your house, not safe, his enemies was hunting him.
