Help Tendry, a leader in the Stalwart Army, liberate his people from the Underground Empire. He might not be the ideal warrior, but he's got a lot of panache to make up for his lack in prowess. Seek out powerful combat upgrades to keep him from killing himself long enough to save his homeland.(Storyline via IGDB)
