Role: A former mercenary or wanderer who becomes an unlikely ally to Kiran and Korbin. Colt’s backstory and motivations could provide some interesting conflict, as he may have ties to the forces that originally brought about the plague.  

Backstory:  

- Origin: Colt was a mercenary who once fought in the wars between the various factions of gods and mortals. After the plague began, he became a wanderer, losing his purpose and searching for meaning. He could be drawn into the conflict either out of necessity or a desire to redeem his past.  

- Connection to Kiran: Colt may have heard of Kiran’s power and sees her as a potential ticket to a cure, either for himself or for others who are suffering. He doesn’t trust her at first, viewing her as another tool to be used, but eventually, he becomes a true ally. His knowledge of the world outside Kiran’s village can be crucial for their journey.  

Personality:  

- Colt is tough, pragmatic, and doesn’t waste time on sentimentality. He’s seen too much in his life to believe in idealistic solutions, and this sometimes causes friction with the more hopeful characters like Uri. He’s loyal but emotionally distant, preferring to keep people at arm’s length.  

Abilities:  

- A skilled fighter, Colt is adept with various weapons—particularly swords or daggers. He also has a knack for survival and tracking, skills that come in handy when they need to navigate the wastelands or enemy territory.  

Visual Design:  

- Colt is rugged, with a stubbled jaw and a hardened look. He wears practical armor that has seen better days, and his eyes are sharp, always scanning the horizon for danger. His clothes are a mix of worn-out leather and cloth, and he carries a few trophies or trinkets from past battles as mementos.
