Knut Bakke was once a software engineer in Arcanum Dynamics Software Division. Hated the screen, hated his boss, hated the sterile corporate snake nest he was forced to walk every day. The collapse was hell, but for Knut, it was also a kind of liberation. He and a few office buddies armed themselves with what they could. They called themselves The Runtime Bastards, six underpaid degenerates in button-up shirts, armed with pretty much anything that kills and every ounce of repressed rage they had.

They survived for twenty-four days. In that time, they slaughtered a corrupted HR team, and even repelled some homicidal lunatics group by setting the elevators on fire. But madness and attrition wore them down. One blew his brains out. Another got dragged screaming into a maintenance shaft. Two turned on each other after a fight over stale ration bars.

Then came the last ambush. Knut was already in a disgusting, blood-drenched, borderline feral state when the enemy hit, not even recognizable as human anymore. A Suicidal Deadhusk Witch detonated right in front of him. The last thing he remembers is her shrieking scream, splitting the air like a dying modem, and then black.

C12 corpse retrieval teams found him in a mound of meat and metal shards and the sensors assumed he was dead. He was dumped into a necro-storage in a underground morgue. He woke up... soaked in blood, surrounded by rotting limbs, some of them were his last friends. Something broke. Or maybe something ancient kicked in. He didn’t scream. He just started killing. With a bone saw and blind fury, he hacked his way through the morgue. No plan. No gear. Just rage.

By the time Boltec Hardcorp commander Victor Anderson found him, Knut was barely standing, skin shredded, eyes unfocused, disturbed. Since then, he’s lived in Arca-10, working with Victor crew. He assists other survivors, usually by annihilating anything in their way. Knut doesn’t talk much. Doesn’t smile unless he’s bleeding. But he fights. And that’s enough...
