Zeynep was born in the Vlachia Gray Zone, to the north of Agurts, adjacent to the Iron Cliffs. The place was filled with acid rain and poison gas, but also contained rich deposits of mutated rare minerals. Local warlords forced Zeynep and her family to head into those dangerous mines and mine the minerals in an exchange for daily essentials, gas masks, and gas mask filters (which were so valuable they even served as a form of currency). She grew up witnessing people around her dying of starvation and illness; most of the time the corpses were naked, since clothes were also a valuable resource, and quickly stripped from bodies. Until one day when a wanderer passed the mining site and liberated them. Zeynep’s parents pleaded with him to take their daughter with him, as their bodies were corroded by the acid rain, and they could not survive for long. But Zeynep, she still had a chance at a better life. So Zeynep traveled with the wanderer for months, finally arriving at the border of Agurts. In the refugee camp of Agurts, she heard a lot of rumors, one of them related to the wanderer - under his cape, he was wearing the armor of a Sol Commander, he was actually the famed White Salamander! Her heart no longer filled with anger and despair, instead, she could see a different world - a better world. Eventually, when she became the Sol Commander, even though her hands were stained with the blood of ruthless and cold-blooded villains, still her heart felt warmer than ever, because of all the blessings, gratitudes, and smiles she received from the people she had saved.
