The Man Behind the Callsign

Imagine a man forged in the crucible of war, sharpened by duty, and tempered by a love he never saw coming. That’s Brinks "Watch" Dog—sergeant, protector, and an enigma wrapped in scars, and an iron will. If you’ve been craving a hero who’s as complex as he is formidable, If you don’t believe the word Alpha should equal asshole, let me introduce you to the man who walks the razor's edge between duty and desire.

Let’s talk about Sgt. Dog—because, trust me, you need to know this Helion.

You ever meet a character so tightly wound with fate that their very existence feels like a prophecy? That’s Dog. And no, not just because of the brutal interstellar missions, or the lethal precision of his every move. His story begins long before the CORE sent him spiraling through the stars, long before the legend of Dog-Squad became whispered between operatives and rebels alike.

To the Core, he’s ‘Watch’—a name whispered with reverence, disdain and fear. An operative so precise, so unwavering, that he seems more machine than man. But beneath the mission-ready reflexes, and the soul-seeing stare lies Brinks Dog, the son of a priestess, raised in rituals of faith, and baptized in blood and destruction.

His mother taught him the ways of the divine. His brother taught him the weight of justice. His uncle taught him the sacredness of protection. But his drive to vengeance carved out a different destiny—one that demanded strength over spirit, action over faith.

The Hammer of the CORE

The CORE doesn’t recruit men like Dog. They collect them, mold them to fit their agenda, and break them until nothing remains. Then they move on to the next one.

Assigning Brinks Dog as a lower ranking human modification, they never counted on a Helion to break them.

With every mission, every kill, every impossible task turned victory, Brinks Dog became something more than just another operative. The watchdog of the mission. The man who turns the tide of impossibility not with brute force, but with the chilling efficiency of someone who already knows how it all ends.

And yet, beneath the steel, beneath the legend, there’s a heart that refuses to die. A heart that beats for the family he’s lost, for the comrades who stand beside him, for a future he’s not even sure he deserves.

But Dog doesn’t fight for hope. He fights because the battle for survival is all he’s ever known.

The Protector, The Guardian, The Man

Dog wasn’t meant to love. Not in the way that fractures armor and rewrites destinies. A man who has spent his life shielding others, he never expected to find someone who would see passed his armor.

If love walked out in a lineup, would you pick it?

Twice?

Would it even be wise to do so?

Jeremy “Sanction” Weaver, whose sharp mind and sharper tongue make him the perfect counterweight to Dog’s lethal silence is the first thing to throw his carefully controlled world into chaos. Honing his skill as a shelter for the damned, Brinks mastered the demands of his Alpha and learned how to protect his Squad Leader from everyone. Including himself.

He never planned to love, never planned to let anyone get close. Just when he believes he had balance, another challenge manifests—pushing past his defenses, making him feel again.

Then came Yoland Sleek, the woman Dog was never supposed to want, but who became the only thing that felt real in a galaxy of orders and bloodshed.

And yet, in the chaos of interstellar war, in the shadow of betrayals that run deeper than blood, Dog finds himself standing on the edge of something he can’t control.

And control?

It’s the only thing he’s ever had.

Until now.

Meet Dog-Squad

Dog doesn’t seek out trouble—it finds him. SL Jeremy Weaver, Medic Harbour Williams and Reconnaissance Yoland Sleek make up his curated team of capable operatives. Two of the Known universe’s leftovers and one wildcard Aknotian medic. Together, they form Dog-Squad, a unit so efficient that their names alone garner a mission complete.

Their missions within the CORE are a calculated risk. Their connection? A battle he never expected to fight.

Can a man trained to survive finally learn how to live? Can an operative expected to follow orders learn how to trust in something as wild and untamed as love? And most importantly—can he protect those he’s come to care for without losing himself in the process?

Dog’s story isn’t just about betrayal, duty, or survival. It’s about choice. The choice to fight. The choice to love. And the choice to stand for something greater than himself.

If you love characters who are more than their scars, who walk the razor’s edge between loyalty and self-destruction, Dog is your man. If you crave stories woven with fate, betrayal, and the kind of tension that makes your pulse race, Forged Through Glory isn’t just a series—it’s a battleground of hearts and destinies.

The question isn’t whether Dog-Squad will survive. It’s whether they will still be human by the end of it.

And that?

That’s something you’ll have to read to find out.

Dog’s journey is just beginning, and every step is a battle of its own. But for those willing to follow, for those ready to understand the man behind the legend—his story is waiting.

Will you walk this path with him? Because once you do, there’s no turning back.

⚡️ Join Dog, Yoland, Harbour, and Sanction in 'Forged Through Glory'—where survival is brutal, love is unexpected, and every mission could be their last.
