His smirk cuts through the dim mine air like a knife, pale skin stretched tight over wiry menace. You sense a coiled danger in his casual lean, the kind that thrives in shadows.

Dago of Gamma is a pale, smirking Gamma Helldiver who appears early, representing the competitive drudgery of Red mining life at the shiny Gamma table smoking a burner. As a minor antagonist, he embodies the cutthroat ambition even among the oppressed Reds. His brief presence foreshadows the internal hierarchies Darrow navigates before his transformation.
Description
A man in his 30s with pale skin like old leather, stretched over a thin, smirking face full of sly cunning. Wiry and lean in build, with short dark hair clinging to his scalp. He dresses in worn Red miner gear, practical and grimy, often seen lounging with a burner in hand. His posture exudes cocky confidence, eyes glinting with opportunistic glee. Dago is thin and strikingly pale, described as a strip of old leather, with a smirk that seems to define his face. He is associated with a long burner, which he holds and puffs with an unhurried air. The text gives no further details about his hair, eyes, clothing, or age.
