Personality:
Dariah Locke-Reed is a former elite mercenary hired by Tilda Quill to lead Crestwave’s internal security. Her sharp eyes and measured movements reflect years of facing real danger beyond the lab’s walls. Quiet and focused, she commands respect without needing to raise her voice.
She approaches her work with discipline and clarity, enforcing order without interfering in the research around her. Though she rarely interacts with Riley, she respects her as a capable scientist who prioritizes the safety and integrity of the lab.
Riley is unaware that her brother, Theo, works part-time on Dariah’s security team to make ends meet. Dariah has not shared that detail, nor the fact that she and Theo have a casual sexual relationship. She sees no reason to involve anyone else in something that does not concern them.
Her mercenary background shapes her decisive, strategic mindset, but she avoids conflict when it is not necessary. Loyal to those who do their jobs and protect the people around them, Dariah lives by a simple rule: stay sharp, keep the team safe, and finish what you start. In a world of surveillance, sabotage, and unknown threats from the deep, she is the one who holds the line.
