Shiv is a monster hunter with a cause, conducting hit-and-run attacks and picking off vulnerable targets. Flinging Serrated Knives to bleed his targets from range, Shiv builds his Rage through damage and dashes up to his enemy with a Slice and Dice flurry of blades and a few powerful shotgun blasts. Smelling blood, Shiv hunts down any dying targets to finish them off with a devastating Killing Blow.
A former criminal, Shiv seeks to make up for his past mistakes by hunting down monsters on behalf of the Baxter Society.
