Etan

Etan is the protagonist of Sanctuary. He is a vigilante trained in the way of Sanctuary on a mission to stop Valgar from building a paramilitary and overthrowing the Government. Etan likes to paint in his spare time, however he has had less time to do so leading up to the events of Sanctuary.

## Story

### Before Sanctuary

Etan was born in the Sanctuary to parents who were followers of Master Cael. His parents died on a mission before he could remember them, so he was raised by Cael and taught by him in the way of Sanctuary. Etan - like other followers of Cael - was allowed as much free time as he wanted, and was always allowed to leave. He spent much of his free time on the Sanctuary painting.

A couple years before the events of Sanctuary, Cael shared his suspicions of Valgar with Etan, and explained that they would go to the city to fight him. They trained together more rigorously to prepare. Cael died of old age before they had the chance to carry out their plan, so Etan vowed on Cael's deathbed that he would finish the mission and uncover Valgar's plans.

A couple months before the events of Sanctuary, Etan travelled to the city on his own. There he gathered information on Valgar and discovered that he was building some sort of weapon with the intent of taking over.

### Sanctuary

While on the run from The Police, Etan jumped from a bridge onto a Train. Etan retrieved his confiscated Glaive from a box on the train. He then jumped off the train, through a window, into the Research Labs. Here he intended to carry out his plan to kill Valgar.

Etan encountered armed soldiers in the research labs. While fighting his way through the labs, Etan found Darlin in front of a locked door. Held at gunpoint, Darlin provided Etan with a hacking tool with which he could get through the door. Darlin also implored Etan not to kill Valgar, to which Etan explained Valgar's plans to build an army and cited the dead guards with guns outside as proof. When Etan parted, he gave Darlin a phone with which to contact him, and coerced Darlin into giving him his Telekinesis Glove.

Etan then fought his way to Valgar's office, but to his dismay discovered that Valgar had already left. As he discovered this, he was cornered by a Shotgun Troop and forced to jump out the window into the garden where he found Adrienne. Adrienne was making an escape from the labs and presumably injured. Etan briefly considered leaving her for the sake of the mission, but something inside him wouldn't let him, so he defended her from dogs while she crawled to safety.

After their escape, Etan brought Adrienne back to his apartment. The next morning, they introduced themselves and Adrienne thanked Etan, to which Etan bluntly explained his reasons for helping her. Etan learned from Adrienne about the human experiments Valten Industries were carrying out on her and others. He told Adrienne that he was trying to kill Valgar. At this point, Etan received a phone call from Darlin who told him about a potential lead: the Research Station. Darlin sent Etan the location and explained that computerized information stored withing the station might be enough to gain his trust.

Seeing that Etan's Pistol was his only weapon, Adrienne took him to Seppa's Shop and introduced him to Seppa, an arms dealer. Seppa owed Adrienne a favour, and he quickly warmed up to Etan when he discovered his objective, so he agreed to supply Etan with weapons.
