Dain Rusk
Preserved local adaptation or Roll20 reference. Its people, events, inventories, and geography belong to their stated source context; they are not merged into original Everterra canon.
Role: Surveyor attached to the Office's redirected field unit. Allegiance: Crown field command, with personal concern for his drivers and report. Status: Prepared future chapter figure; the accepted quarry diversion does not confirm his later actions or current location.
Rusk wants to inspect the Gate, complete his report, and keep his drivers alive. The campaign book places him with a unit at a flooded causeway after the false quarry signal. The expansion says he interprets the red flare as a sign of coercion and turns the unit southeast. Evidence against Vance makes him suspicious; a prisoner witness makes him listen, and civilian safety matters more to him than claims about Corvin. He tests false orders with Kes's counterphrase. These are planned encounter details, not events already accepted. His survey calipers and map may matter in future scenes, but their disposition is undecided.
