BACKSTORY

Cian used to serve in the military, and his body had been badly burned a few years prior to the current timeline in an explosion that he was carelessly close to. In his defense, he didn't expect an armored tank to explode from just one missile strike. He had been fighting off the tank and their reinforcements came early, firing missiles at Cian. He had redirected the missiles to the tank in an attempt to stop it rolling towards him, and it had worked a little too well. A large shard of shrapnel exploded from the tank and impaled his eye, only centimeters from his brain. His attackers thought him to be dead and he was left to burn up until Nazar found him and took him in for help.

He almost died, and learned his lesson on being more careful. Dancing with death, Cian had no choice but to switch to a fully cybernetic body. His brain was recovered and implanted into a fresh new body; he chose not to replace his impaled eye and instead fitted an optical sensor in its place. A reminder of his arrogance.

It took him a while to get used to his new body. He had a cyberbrain in his previous body, allowing him to dive into the net and perform complicated hacks, but now he had almost no bodily limitations. His body had a warranty, and he would abuse that privelidge. Recovery and many repairs from intense training would edge him further away from his human origins. He kept upgrading, kept pushing the limits of his new body, and came close to completely frying his brain a few times. Nazar had to stop him from killing himself when he had almost gone mad with his power. She didn't let him out from his training pod until he had completely recovered and stopped making a fool of himself.

In training, Cian had one goal: strength. He ran through so many training scenarios he had created that at the end of the day he could barely function. His recovery time was much faster now, and he didn't have to wait days before he could push his limits again. Day in and day out, he lived and breathed training. Stuck in his pod for weeks, Nazar watched him wear himself out every day until she couldn't take it anymore. She analyzed his growth and determined that he was ready. It was time for Cian to return to the real world and see what Night City had in store for him.
