(Ren's P.O.V)

Alarms began to ring soon after Cambell's body was found. But by then, we were long gone. Just as Martin had promised, Samuel and his boat were right behind the office of Cambell. We look back at the grand building before walking down a small wooden dock, Samuel waiting at the end of it, the smell of salt in the air.

"From the way I hear it, Cambell lived a pretty posh life. Maybe it's not my place to say, but men of the faith shouldn't live like barons." Says Samuel to Corvo. He then notices me and says, "Who's the boy?"

Corvo put one of his hands on my shoulder then responds, cool as all hell, saying "He, is my new apprentice."

...

...

...

"I am completely fine with Corvo having an apprentice." Says Admiral Havelock, leader of the The Loyalists. Just like every other male in this game, he wore leather...everything, with a gun harness attached to his chest piece.

"Agreed, besides, I can use Ren as my new 'Experimental Weapons Technician." Said a man bearing reading glasses (who was rather thin). It's Piero! I thought.

"What does that mean?" Said Lord Pendleton. A man that has a similar build to Piero, minus the glasses.

"He gets to test out highly dangerous equipment that Corvo will be able to use later on." Replies Piero.

"So I'm pretty much just a test subject for weapons?" I ask.

"Yes, and just like Corvo, I will design weapons, armor, and gear, perfectly designed, just for you." Says Piero proudly.

Yes! Free Swag! I thought.

"Come by later, I'll need your measurements for the gear I will be crafting for you." Says Piero.

"Ok." I say.

"Right-now, you two must be exhausted after last night. Why don't you two rest while we try to find your next target, Corvo. You too Ren, Callista has already made another bed for you." says Havelock.

"Thank you, thank you all for the opportunity for me to join the Loyalists." I say, bowing.

...

...

...

I awoke to a hand rocking me back and forth, urging me to wake up. I open my eyes to find Corvo standing over me.

"Just...five more....minutes...zzzz" I say before falling back asleep.

"Oh no you don't." Corvo says as he shakes me from my slumber again. "I need you up so we can begin training!"

"Training?" I say as I bolt up from my bed, excited.

Corvo smiles.

"That got you up pretty quick!" He says.

I got up and got dressed in clothing laid out for me already.

"That's strange, these clothes fit me perfectly." I say, bending my head around so I can check myself out. They seemed simple enough, A medium black linen shirt, under a dark navy blue cloak. Dark Grey pants (With matching undergarments...), and black boots.

"Piero measured you while you slept, You're a heavy sleeper Ren!" Corvo said, trying to keep a straight face.

I shivered. "That's extremely weird AND creepy!"

We walked down the stairs from our room in the pub.

"Well, since Piero already measured you. He's customized your clothing to be just like mine." Says Corvo as we walk.
