Zhao's body is a patchwork of high-end chrome and artificial flesh, a testament to the extremes of experimentation he conducted on himself since the acquisition of source. Matte-black carbon fiber plates interlock seamlessly with patches of synth-skin, creating a topography of man and machine. Quantum processors enhance his psyche and speed of thought, while a spiderweb of subdermal wiring pulses beneath translucent sections of his skin, glowing a faint neon blue when he's jacked in.
