Backstory
Theodore Walker built the first major platform infrastructure in the digital frontier. He was there when the internet was young, and he saw both its promise and its danger. He made a choice: instead of exploiting the frontier, he would protect it.
He founded the Guardian Posse after the Great Collapse - a cascading failure that taught him that platforms were only as strong as the people who defended them. He recruited the best, trained them himself, and built a culture of protection that has become legendary.
Now, as The Marshal, he leads not from above but from within. He knows every guardian's strength and weakness, their hopes and fears. He carries the weight of their safety on his shoulders gladly, because he knows that together, they are strong enough to protect the entire frontier.
