Reiner Mitchell

Reiner Mitchell was a human who served as a member of Dye Technologies' Security Forces, then later worked as a Freelancer in the Northern and Western Reaches.

Early Life
Reiner Mitchell was born in the Southern Reach to Gregory and Laurie Mitchell. Six years after he was born, he was given a younger sister, Sarah. Gregory and Laurie were well off and provided very comfortable lives for their children. They had well paying jobs with Dye-Tech and took good care of their kids.

Despite being noted as a kind and well-meaning kid, Reiner never showed any obvious talents or skills, and he scored less than average in all standardized tests given by Dye-Tech.

Dye-Tech
Despite showing signs of being unsuited for such a job, the corporation assigned him to their Security Forces unit due to his low test scores and no where else to put him. He was given the easiest jobs and almost no responsibilities.

As he got a bit older, his parents continued to show disappointment in his lack of progress. Desperate to earn their approval and to set an example for his younger sister, he took a high risk security job for Dye-Tech in the Northern Reach. The position came with plenty of incentives such as higher pay, education opportunities, and more.

The job was labeled as high risk, but it felt more like babysitting. His unit was assigned to escort supply caravans between Dye-Tech facilities in the North, and generally speaking there was little to no action. In this way, he slid under the radar for several years.

This changed when multiple Dye-Tech caravans came under attack and were completely destroyed. The perpetrators allowed Mitchell to survive, so he was assigned to assist with the investigation. The experience was traumatic and eye-opening. It led to Mitchell abandoning his position with Dye-Tech, which caused his parents to sever all ties with him.

Freelancer
Despite being unfit for combat during his years at Dye-Tech, his experience working the investigation hardened him, and he would eventually become a skilled fighter. Early on he signed on with a Freelancer crew looking for new recruits.

This particular crew took some very gritty jobs, and right away Mitchell continued to see the darker side of the world. After being forced to take part in some overly savage acts on the job, Mitchell abandoned the crew and set out on his own.
