   Summary

   Gustave Wylder is a former MEC Soldier.

   A deserter of XCOM who lives his life far away from any life he can manage, surviving off of scavenging, the occasional trade from wandering resistance or survivors outside of ADVENT's control. He's spent the better half of his days since his desertion doing everything in his power to stay off the grid and radar of ADVENT or XCOM.

   However, just as the day he abandoned his duty, nothing stays the same forever. He just wished it didn't take him nearly breaking a few ribs to start the cycle.
