Character
Sable Tierce
Tierce is the Hard Bargain’s systems specialist: quick, exacting, and hard to read even when she is being honest. She carries a secretive past tied to forbidden AI research and the wreckage left behind when powerful institutions decide your work should not exist.
Tierce’s brilliance makes her indispensable, but it also makes her dangerous. She tends to see angles nobody else sees, including the ones that scare her. She trusts reluctantly, protects fiercely, and treats most authority as a problem to be engineered around.
