Issac Boone

Of the Control Team

Role:

Trauma Counselor – Brought in by Veritas Minerals

Connection to Red McCrae:

Issac was brought in after the mine's first tremor-related collapse to “support mental health.” Red didn’t want a shrink — but something changed. Three days before he died, he asked to speak with Issac privately. That conversation has haunted Issac ever since.

Personality:

Soft-spoken, empathic, and unnervingly perceptive. Issac sees what others try to hide — pain, lies, fear. He’s the calm in the chaos… unless someone threatens the people he’s quietly protecting.

Background:

Issac specializes in post-trauma intervention. He’s worked disasters, war zones, and sites where the ground bleeds memory. This town? It's different. The trauma here isn’t just emotional — it’s generational.

Red confided in Issac shortly before his death. He spoke of “breathing walls,” “a sound only the mine knows,” and most terrifying of all:

“If I go missing, don’t treat it like grief. Treat it like evidence.”

Now Red is dead.
Issac has seen this before.
It’s not just a murder. It’s a pattern.

Character Goal:

Uncover who Red feared. Protect those unraveling. And if the mine is affecting people’s minds — stop it from claiming more.

🎯 Bonus Objective (6 pt)

If anyone accuses you of tampering with therapy records or hallucinating yourself — flip the accusation. Use empathy or psycho-babble to make them question their own sanity.
Bonus if you get someone else to admit to hearing or seeing something "impossible."
