Dean Russell was the husband and racing partner of Claire Russell prior to his death.
Biography[]
Dean was close friends with Claire even before she transitioned from male to female. The two eventually married and would participate in Dean's passion of street racing. Dean had developed a rivalry with fellow racer and corpo Peter Sampson. It was against Peter that Dean lost his life, as during a race, the two got into a crash that killed him. His wife Claire survived the accident and, despite violent crashes and fatilities being an accepted part of the deadly street races, she blamed Peter for it, believing he deliberately caused Dean to crash due to their longstanding feud. This would motivate Claire to recruit a solo mercenary named V under the pretense of rejoining the street racing scene, though her actual goal would be to get close enough to Sampson to enact revenge upon him on behalf of her husband.
