This character is a horrible person who sees most other life forms (including metahumans) as potential prey. CWs for cannibalism, extreme violence, metahuman experimentation, medical abuse. Furthermore, being a HMHVV Carrier melee muscle and a Berserker, Thresher is an Infection risk for those around him. Please keep these things in mind when considering him for runs!

	==Appearance==		==Appearance==

			The majority of Thresher's body has been replaced with dark gray cybernetics designed to allow him to cut through the water with ease. His skull is no exception, barring a maw of jagged teeth fixed in his wide jaw. A sharp eye might notice that his canines are even more wicked, chrome-coated weapons primed to take a bite. What flesh he does have remaining, mostly just his torso and a shark-like tail, is covered in grayish skin a few shades lighter than his cyberware. His skin is covered in tiny denticles, giving it a sandpaper-like texture, and gives off a bluish glow in the dark.

			Like most ogres, even ones as far from baseline as himself, Thresher has a stocky build for an ork. Standing at a "mere" 1.78 meters and weighing in at 127 kilos, Thresher's gut seems to do little to slow him down on land or in the sea. His sides and neck are home to sets of gills, and a faintly glowing tattoo reading "X-417" sits between his shoulder blades.

	=== Clothing ===		=== Clothing ===

			Thresher has taken a liking to loud, garish clothing since finding his freedom. Most days he sports Hawaiian shirts stolen from thrift store dumpsters, but his prized possession is a Sleeping Tiger suit he pulled off of one of his victims. Red Bonnie was kind enough to have it resized for him, and it's become one of his go-to outfits when working.

	===Matrix Persona===		===Matrix Persona===

			On the rare occasions where he engages with VR, Thresher's persona appears, predictably, as a thresher shark swimming through the Matrix.

	==Background==		==Background==
			While much of the world was thrown into chaos following the sudden appearance of changelings in the wake of Halley's Comet, a group of researchers working for Proteus AG saw SURGE as an opportunity. If the phenomenon could be studied, understood, controlled, and replicated, it could open up new frontiers in biotech research. More importantly, it could be commercialized. Efforts to replicate and control the phenomenon began shortly after the comet passed, centered around a hydrothermal vent deep in the Pacific Ocean that regularly produced incredibly intense mana spikes. Untold number of engineered metahuman fetuses were exposed to the strange energies, but very few developed the way the research team had desired. The vast majority showed zero reaction, despite attempts to seed in novel metagenes. Many more failed to develop, as a result of out of control mutations. A small handful, however, both survived the process and exhibited traits potentially useful for Proteus's research.

			Subject X-417 was one such subject. Whether blind luck or a genuine breakthrough in the field of metagenetics, attempts to seed piscine metagenes into the subject seemed to be one of the team's rare successes. The experiment wasn't without its flaws and risks, of course, such as the subject's intense aggression that resulted from its (Not-So-Sudden) (Not-So-Unexplained) Recessive Genetic Expression, but Proteus was confident that such quirks could be stripped out after a few more iterations. Much of Subject X-417's childhood was spent being tested, studied, examined, poked, and prodded as the scientists attempted to understand what separated it and the handful of other successes from the dozens upon dozens of failures.

			As the subject matured, attempts were made to channel its aggression by employing it as part of the facility's aquatic security force. Should the team crack the metagenic puzzle, Subject X-417 would be but the first of many aquatic super soldiers available for purchase. Aquatic para-fauna proved to be incredibly hostile towards the subject, however, and an attack by a sea leech resulted in Subject X-417 losing an arm. Proteus saw this as opportunity to show off what their metegenetic, biotechnology, and cybertechnology divisions working in tandem could produce, and had the majority of Subject X-417's body mass replaced with cybernetics rather than just regenerating the missing arm.

			Some time later, a botched shadowrun resulted in the facility being destroyed in an explosion. The blast knocked Subject X-417 unconscious and damaged its tracker, leaving it to be carried away by the ocean's currents...

			He eventually found himself in the waters near a big city. He hid on islands and in sea caves, preying on whatever sea life he could get his claws on, until the lady with red hair found him. Said he was trespassing in her bolthole. He tried to eat her, but she said something that made his head go funny. Made him go calm. Calm? Calm was new. The lady said he could be useful, that he would be fed if he worked. It sounded like a good deal, hunting fish and seals was a lot more work than getting meat through a slot in the door. So that's what he did, [[Red Bonnie]] told him where to go and who to kill and he did it. The lady even gave him a name, not just a number. Thresher.
