The Ghost in the Machine Eva is the youngest of the Steel dynasty, a prodigy of bio-mechanical integration. Unlike her siblings, she rejected external armor in favor of subdermal steel weave. Her veins carry nanites that allow her to interface directly with ancient tech. She is quiet, observant, and haunted by the whispers of the Old Code—a corrupted AI that speaks to her in her sleep. eva maxim valerica steel
