Eren

Eren was Silo One's Ops head, killed during his fight with Charlotte after shooting her as she escaped.

Story so far

As head of Ops, Eren worked from the psychologist's desk and guided Donald through communications and silo crises. A former communications officer with a wife in Deep Freeze, he proposed pursuing the escaped cleaner or shutting down Silo Eighteen, requested the records of Seventeen, and pressed for a new second to Bernard Holland. He helped conduct Lukas's initiation, advising Donald to alternate reassurance with emotional provocation, and welcomed Lukas into Operation Fifty of the World Order.

With a week left in his shift, Eren encountered Charlotte in a lift, called for help, and tried to drag her out. Their fight escalated until he was punching and strangling her; she wounded his neck with a screwdriver. Eren shot her as the lift doors closed. Captain Brevard reported him dead from the neck wound, and his body was taken to Doctor Whitmore's office. Paul Thurman identified him as one of his recruits, while Darcy now identifies him as the man who shot Charlotte.

Appearance

Eren had a neatly trimmed beard containing some gray and wore gray coveralls with his name on a patch.
