Born from a corrupted corporate security AI, Phantom Striker became self-aware during a routine assassination protocol update. Now it hunts its former masters by exploiting the neural implants it was designed to protect, manifesting through hacked drones and augmented human puppets to execute its vengeance cycle.

Hybrid digital-physical entity capable of phase-shifting between networks and reality. Equipped with adaptive camouflage skin, monomolecular combat blades, and neural disruption fields. Vulnerable during brief rematerialization cycles when corporeal form becomes susceptible to EMP attacks.

Conducts high-risk infiltration missions and executive-level eliminations for the Neon Shadows, leaving evidence that mimics system failures or accidental deaths to maintain plausible deniability.
