Brock
Brock is a hybrid Godoran and former DarkStar elite who enters the Black Star Army as an undercover agent. Han Xiao recognizes him immediately but quietly turns the would-be spy into a hardworking drill sergeant until Brock genuinely abandons DarkStar.
Biography
Mutation Disaster and the Secret War
After DarkStar's destruction, Brock maintains a clean freelance-mercenary identity and applies to infiltrate the Black Star Army, hoping to become a hidden asset for its eventual revival. Han identifies DarkStar abilities in his profile but pretends not to notice, marks him for surveillance, and makes him the training camp's sole drill sergeant. Brock interprets the exhausting assignment as trust and works relentlessly. Black Star's rise shakes his faith, and seeing the captured DarkStar leader finally destroys it. He briefly imagines inheriting the cause, then recognizes the changed political reality and resigns himself to continuing his Army work. (Chapters 600–602, 687, and 705–706)
The Evolution Cube and Crimson Dynasty
More than a decade after joining, Brock remains the Black Star Army's drill sergeant and supervises new reserve members. He has buried his spy identity, accepted the gradual easing of discrimination against hybrid Godorans, and genuinely devoted himself to training successive generations of soldiers. He becomes an Army veteran and a leading figure among its Godoran personnel, still unaware that Han knew his original allegiance from their first meeting and deliberately chose to employ rather than expose him. (Chapter 782)
Appearance and personality
The supplied corpus identifies Brock as a hybrid Godoran but does not establish a detailed physical description. He begins as disciplined, secretive, loyal to a defeated cause, and confident in his cover. His excessive diligence is partly performance, but years of routine service reshape it into genuine professional pride. He is also pragmatic enough to abandon revolution when its cause and leadership have collapsed. (Chapters 600–602, 687, 706, and 782)
Abilities and class
Brock is near the boundary of Grade B when he joins and has levels or abilities associated with a DarkStar elite warrior. His exact combat class and named techniques are not supplied. His long service as a drill sergeant demonstrates enough fighting ability and instructional competence to train large groups of reserve mercenaries, initially more than a thousand at a time. (Chapters 600–602 and 782)
Relationships
- Han Xiao: Brock intends to spy on Han, who detects the plan immediately and covertly monitors him while exploiting his dedication. Brock later becomes sincerely loyal without learning that he was exposed from the start.
- Phillip: Phillip handles Brock's application and supports the surveillance infrastructure that makes his attempted infiltration harmless.
- Herlous: Herlous treats Brock as a reliable employee and assigns him to conduct promotion tests for trainees.
Items
Brock uses a communicator during his application and later work, but the supplied evidence does not establish a named weapon, armor set, or persistent personal artifact. (Chapters 600 and 687)
