<figure><img src="/files/zf0gKWEsIGtCnzwEAsCg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

As an unaffiliated metahuman with necromantic abilities, Ozymandias stands apart due to his profound understanding of the looming AI catastrophe. A survivor of early Metatech infusions, his unstable emotional state and profound insights make him a wildcard in the conflict. Armed with a crossbow and corrosive gases, Ozymandias maintains a complex relationship with his allies and adversaries, driven by a personal mission to prevent the technological apocalypse he foresees.
