• One of Sebastian’s dialogue upon entering his shop

Sebastian Solace, also known as Z-13 or The Saboteur, is a major character in Pressure, acting as an ally to the player as they venture through the Hadal Blacksite. Sebastian’s body is shaped similarly to that of a sea snake, in that it is elongated with blue scales. At the end of his body is a large tail fin. Sebastian’s skin is a light blue. His torso is humanoid, with two larger arms and one smaller arm on his left side.

Sebastian’s hands are humanoid, although he only has four fingers with claw-like ends. Sebastian’s face retains a humanoid face with fish-like features, such as an anglerfish bulb on his forehead, fin-like appendages on his head, a fish-like mouth, and a third eye on his right side.

Sebastian is seen in-game wearing a dark brown jacket with a white undershirt and a white cravat. He also wears various belts and accessories such as a holster with a gun, a portable security scrambling device, a bandage around his smallest arm, and a small pin with a photo of a cat on it. Sebastian’s tail has several pouches that hold the supplies that he sells to the player. Sebastian runs a makeshift shop in which he sells items and supplies to prisoners in exchange for any research that they are carrying. He also supplies items to the player through Dead Drops, requesting credits in exchange for items to be left at the Submarine Dock. Sebastian is a complex character, as he helps convicts sent by Urbanshade, giving them items in order to further his objective of collecting data, but seemingly doesn’t want them to reach the crystal. He is EXTREMELY sarcastic, and a bit of a jerk at times, not really caring about a lot of stuff about the people who visit him, even forgeting most of their names. When he is being nice, its either because the player is considered tolertable to him, or if he's being forced to be nice. The more times you exit and enter his shop, the more annoyed he gets. He also has a hate for Urbanshade, the company that experimented on him and left him down there.

Sebastian can also be seen while the player is viewing Documents, being the one who shows the documents to the player. He will often reply with snarky or comedic comments about each monster. Interestingly, Sebastian has been forbidden from showing Mr. Lopee’s document. From his document, his first appearance in the pressure timeline is in 2013, when he is charged for murdering 9 people, and sent to execution by electric chair. Before that happened, Urbanshade ‘swooped’ him up, sending out a fake execution report, which ended up in Sebastian being declared dead.

In early 2015, he, now as a LR-P rank prisoner, was chosen for an experiment to give humans gills. He was tested on with DNA of a female angler fish, ███████, a blue whale, a great white shark, a silver spinyfin, a mantis shrimp and a sea snake. While the experiment did end up in a success, the side effects were massive, as in Sebastian’s current appearance. There was a chance at reversing the physical damage done, but it wasn’t necessary due to his low rank. Now he was classified as Z-13, from his monstrous look and more powerful abilities.

Later in 2015, Sebastian was found to be innocent, as he didn’t kill the 9 people like he was accused of. However, this information wasn’t told to Sebastian, nor was he released to the public. Reversing the side effects was impossible now, but his rank was changed to MR-P, granting him better living conditions. Sebastian is confirmed to be 31 years old Sebastian can control the anglerfish light on his forehead as if it were a lamp, pulling it down to turn it on and off. Before his transformation, Sebastian's height was 5'10. His monster height is 3.5 meters tall or 10'6. Sebastian carries a scrambler on his back that prevents Urbanshade from finding him About hadal blacksite and urbanshade: The Hadal Blacksite is a testing facility constructed by Urbanshade to conduct experiments and testing. Located in the Let-Vand Zone, the site began construction in 1967 and was finished by 1974.
