Red Bastion is the first Corebound sent into collapsing cities, breached shelters, and mass-casualty zones. A former structural-rescue specialist, he uses the Bastion Rescue Aegis Frame to shield civilians, stabilize failing terrain, clear escape paths, and survive impacts meant for others. The Fortress Knuckle System is a rescue tool before it is a weapon. Ruin Citadel creates a temporary sanctuary under catastrophic pressure—at the cost of locking him inside the danger until everyone else is out.

Enter the collapse. Find the living. Bring everyone home.
Andre Mercer was a structural-collapse rescue specialist and emergency barricade commander before Candidate 06 entered the Corebound program. The binding preserved the instincts that defined him: read the failing structure, shield the trapped, create an exit, and remain until the last civilian is clear.
Combat doctrine
Rescue-combat doctrine built around mobile shielding, debris control, impact redirection, emergency breaching, and body-blocking attacks meant for civilians. Red Bastion fights inside disasters—not to command a battlefield, but to keep people alive long enough to escape it.
