The color has drained leaving his dreadlocks a white color due to the drugs given to him during his experimentation. His skin has developed discoloration in the form of intricate patterns across his entire body. His irises have grown becoming the only visible part of his eyes giving him completely black eyes.

## Personality

### Before Trinity Labs

Faze was a happy young kid who loved being outside. He enjoyed watching the salamanders and frogs move around the nearby ponds, and would frequently sit quietly watching them swim about. By his teens Faze was delinquent who chose to hang out with his burnout friends in the local parks. Even though he was apart of the group Faze liked to isolate and watch insects and birds buzz every which way, only joining the conversation occasionally to answer questions and vocalize his opinion.

### While in Trinity Labs

Although Faze was able to keep his spirits up for the first few years, he eventually broke after the loss of [INSERT NAME HERE]. At that time Faze transitioned into being a sour, quiet man. This change marked his decent into anger and despair. When feeding time came, he chose to eat alone in his cell. When forced to interact with other prisoners Faze let others take charge and speak. Although his silence was what he was mostly known for his angry, violent outbursts were common knowledge with other prisoners. His only connections to the others was his mutual respect for his fellow prisoner Solas. This would, for a while, be the only connection he had to another person. Doctor Lucius Barclay had documented that even though Faze displayed extreme tendencies to be isolated, his psychological tests showed Faze was still an average (albeit violent) prisoner.

### Escape from Trinity Labs

During the Trinity Labs Incident, Faze showed major growth as person when he led his ragtag group through the facility. Although most, except for Dr. Barclay, believed Faze to be almost brain dead he showed the faculty that he was cool-headed enough to outsmart the Head of Security Granger Blackwood. Faze proved the various psychological tests wrong when he made the decision to sacrifice his freedom to allow Solas and Ariel to escape. He was truly happy that he was able to finally help somebody.

### While in Limbo

Victor Zamek commented in Faze's file:

"Faizon Ezekwesili is one of the smartest and most observant prisoners that we hold in Limbo. He is simultaneously both the safest and most dangerous prisoners we have, and should not be underestimated. He spends most days meditating and is believed to have found eternal peace in his time here. Do not make any comments or talk to Faze about the details of the security protecting his cell, as this information (as little as it may seem) is worlds to Faze."

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Ariel Gonzalez

Ariel was a nuisance to Faze at first, but after finding out that as the most successful experiments yet he realizes her inevitable fate. He resolves to break her out during the power-outage with fellow prisoner Solas. He proves to be her protector throughout the ordeal and even sacrifices his freedom so she could escape.

#### Solas Hunt

Solas was the closest prisoner to Faze, since they both had been there for so long. Solas would serve as Faze's conscience and right hand man. Solas would back Faze up in his decisions and follow him through the various obstacles that stopped the group during their escape.

#### Skard Wakāna

Skard was man who had chosen to align himself with Faze while constantly demanding that the two spar. Faze refused to give Skard the match, although Skard never gave up hope. Faze was deeply saddened when Skard refused to stay with the group, but ultimately accepted his choice.

#### Laviel Burgess

Laviel was a young woman who was friends with Solas. She knew Faze in passing, but was unable to break past his hard exterior. Faze tried to convince her to leave Eastmund, but gave her a tracker so she could find them again. He waited to the bitter end for her to reappear again before having to abandon her to save the rest. News of her death saddened Faze when Victor revealed the truth.

#### Mierael Gibbs

Mierael had little to no connection to Faze, but her sacrifice caught him off-guard.

#### Arashi Amichai

Faze never really liked Amichai due to Amichai's cowardice and chose to keep his distance from the Zhonguan.

### Enemies

#### Granger Blackwood

Granger enjoyed torturing Faze in a variety of ways, simply for surviving all those years. He liked sedating Faze and then allowing the guards to beat him down. Faze would go on to hate him and finally got his revenge when he let Granger get ripped apart by the failed experiments.

#### Nanael

Nanael was a sociopathic angel who had beaten Faze within an inch of his life.

## History
