Raiden

Raiden enters the Plant mission with extensive simulated experience but limited understanding of the operation’s deeper purpose. His perspective lets the sequel question how missions and identities are constructed.

• Story: The mission gradually destabilises the information he relies on. His past and relationship with Rose become essential to the later story.
• In the game: Use observation and the available nonlethal tools rather than treating simulation experience as permission to rush. Read each new objective carefully when the mission’s rules change.
