- Character selection

Breach is an Agent in VALORANT.

Biography
A former criminal from Sweden, Erik Torsten was set to be convicted along with the rest of his family for their lawless activities. As he was a double congenital amputee however, the judge was pitiful and lenient towards him, giving him a smaller sentence that soon allowed Erik to return to his old ways. Building himself his own mechanical arms to use, Erik would hit back with his own criminal assignments, becoming so notorious for the terrible things he had done that he eventually had to go into hiding and effectively exile himself from his home. During these times, he also encountered the young Brazilian Tayane Alves, who worked alongside him for a while and provided some major upgrades to his arms, resulting in the carbon-steel titanium-plating version that he uses to this day.

Later approached to become a VALORANT agent, Torsten accepted the offer though his induction was not a smooth affair. Leaving behind his criminal life in line with VP procedure, his records were sealed and he became the Protocol's thirteenth agent, "Breach".

Personality
""Been pulling jobs like this for years. Risky? Sure. But never boring""

- Breach (Match Start) If there's anyone who knows the risk - and the thrill - of their job as a VALORANT agent best, it's probably Breach. This bionic man has hinted at having a long history of being in the battlefield, and any shootout is always fun for him. He treats his current occupation in VALORANT as nothing more than another post wherein he drops into the fight, wins, and gets paid. However, he's also looking for excitement and will not hesitate to wreck havoc along the way.

According to Sova in his voicelines, Breach lacks patience and tends to rush into fights while leaving his team behind. The Swede has also earned the ire of Yoru for being a loudmouth who doesn't shut up. With his gimmick for aggression, Breach believes in getting the job done quick, and when the guns are being held up on his face, that's when he knows that it's just another Tuesday.

Appearance
Breach is a tall man with long brown hair tied in a ponytail, while sporting a beard and a mustache. He is most noticeable with his metal arms that are made out of carbon steel with titanium plating. He wears a green vest that covers a black shirt that sports a red logo of a horned demon. The Swede also sports a large tattoo on his chest. He wears green pants which carries a holster on both sides, completed by a pair of boots.
