Gravewire, born Elias Vane, was raised in the violent streets of Dogtown by parents who ran an underground clinic for civilians caught in gang warfare. His mother treated anyone who came through their doors, while his father drove armored medical transports through firefights to rescue the wounded. Despite the chaos around them, they believed people in Dogtown still deserved saving.

That belief got them killed. After Elias’ mother refused to prioritize a dying gang member over injured children, the gang returned days later seeking revenge. They sealed the clinic shut, set the building ablaze, and slaughtered everyone inside. Elias survived only because his father hid him beneath the floor moments before the attack. From the darkness, he listened to the screams of civilians and the deaths of his parents while the gangs laughed outside. The incident was dismissed as just another act of violence in Dogtown, and no one was ever punished.

Years later, Elias resurfaced as Gravewire, a feared Netrunner and Solo mercenary known for his skull-patterned masks and ruthless attacks against criminal gangs. Using his hacking skills to expose trafficking rings, sabotage gang operations, and track targets before eliminating them personally, Gravewire became a ghost story whispered through the streets. Unlike most mercenaries, he only hunts those who prey on civilians, believing every gang member he kills is another step toward avenging the people who died in that burning clinic.
