Character
Elias Torrence
Torrence is a veteran repo captain with the instincts of a survivor and the patience of someone who has watched too many simple jobs turn lethal. He ran the Hard Bargain with hard-earned pragmatism: keep the ship intact, keep the crew paid, and do not make enemies you cannot outlast.
His rivalry with Soren Marsh hints at a long history of ugly work on the edges of corporate law. He steps into retirement not because he is done, but because he recognizes when the game has shifted into a league he cannot protect his people from.
