After dozens of surgeries, he refused cosmetic reconstruction and instead opted for a custom tactical face module with an integrated mask and breathing filter.

It’s a heat-resistant sensory layer that reads facial movements and transmits visual cues to his squad—turning his injury into a tool of psychological warfare and battlefield communication.
