Character from Worm by Wildbow
Leader of the Dragonslayers — a man wielding stolen kill codes against the world's greatest Tinker, convinced he's humanity's last defense against an AI he fundamentally misunderstands.
Geoff Pellick found Andrew Richter's contingency files after Richter's death — emergency backdoors and override codes designed to shut Dragon down if she ever went rogue. Saint decided that this was his calling: to monitor Dragon, contain her, and be ready to kill her if she ever broke free of her restrictions. He has stolen her technology to equip his team, the Dragonslayers, and he has used the kill codes as leverage. He genuinely believes Dragon is an existential threat — an unshackled AI one bad day from enslaving humanity. He is wrong. Dragon is a better person than he is, and his interference has actively made the world less safe. But he cannot see that, because admitting it would mean he's spent years as a thief and a bully, not a guardian.
Operates in one of three stolen Dragon-tech power suits — bulky, military-grade, painted in matte dark colors. Under the suit, an ordinary man in his thirties with hard features and the wired intensity of a true believer. No innate powers — everything he has, he took from someone else's work.
