He initially served in the French military before becoming a private military contractor (PMC) marksman. His skills and expertise eventually led him to a role as a weapons designer for Kingdom Defense. However, his employment there was merely a stepping stone on his quest for his "sacred truth."

Chamber's backstory ties in with the birth of Fracture

A notable event in Fabron’s story occurred at the Everett-Linde Research Facility in Santa Fe County, New Mexico. Around 9 AFL, Fabron traveled there and began communicating with the facility's employees.

Despite being barred from accessing the facility, he managed to reinstate his security clearance and obtain important schematics. In a decisive moment, Fabron and his Omega counterpart destroyed the facility's Large Radian Collider. The explosion resulted in the deaths of many employees and left the facility in ruins.

Following this incident, Fabron encountered senior VALORANT Protocol agents Brimstone and Viper. After proving his value to their Omega Project, Fabron was recruited as the eighteenth agent of the VALORANT Protocol, adopting the code name "Chamber."

`He quickly became an essential asset, providing crucial blueprints for an Alpha-Omega teleporter and recommending agents with radiant abilities to resolve power issues.

Despite his partnership with the VALORANT Protocol, Chamber’s ultimate goal remains unachieved. Some of his fellow agents harbor suspicions about his motives, forcing him to be more cautious in his pursuit.

Personality of Chamber

Chamber is known for his blend of suave nonchalance, professional poise, and smug humor. His confidence in his abilities and the value he brings is unshakable. He sets high standards for himself and his team, emphasizing the importance of winning with style. This quote from Chamber encapsulates his attitude: "None of this 'a win is a win' nonsense. We should win big and look good doing it."

Despite his friendly demeanor with many agents, Chamber is acutely aware of the secrets he harbors. His confidence and charm often mask the hidden depths of his true intentions.

Chamber's appearance is distinct and stylish. He sports a combover hairstyle and thick, rectangular glasses. His attire includes a blue suit vest over a white long-sleeved shirt, paired with a geometrically patterned midnight tie.

The vest features three rifle bullets as buttons, and he wears brown gloves with white straps that expose his ring and pinkie fingers. A custom gold-strapped watch adorns his left arm, and he wears cedar-colored pants held by a belt with a unique golden-outlined buckle. A golden chain clipped across his tie adds a touch of elegance.

Chamber's most notable features are the gold nanotech tattoos on his face and arms, resembling traces found on a printed circuit board. These tattoos form his Tour De Force rifle, which materializes from his body when needed. His entire suit turns gold when near a Rendezvous anchor, although this effect may be purely for gameplay.
