The son of a top Columbian construction CEO, Mountain and his entire family were put in prison after they were framed by a rival corporation. He enlisted in Rhodes Island upon his escape.
Mountain possesses a physique naturally fit for combat, and he is currently active as a Guard Operator and on the frontlines of a variety of missions.

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of his internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in his circulatory system, confirming his to be infected with Oripathy.

Small amounts of crystals distributed across surface of Operator's body.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.22u/L
According to Mountain's personal account, he contracted Oripathy while he was still in prison. Although the disease's spread has been slow thanks to his physique and the relatively luxurious living conditions he enjoyed, owing to the fact that he only had access to limited, insufficient medical facilities in prison, his condition can hardly be considered optimistic.

A well-composed male Feline with a large build.
Although his fierce appearance may suggest otherwise, he always approaches everyone around him with grace. Thanks to this dissonance, Mountain became quite the talk of the town when he first arrived at Rhodes Island. Furthermore, even though he is by no means a humble man, neither is he arrogant, and this has helped him become fast friends with many of our operators.
He doesn't hide the fact that he comes from an affluent background and that he is well-versed in all matters pertaining to high society, but he never takes pride in this fact and rarely brings up the topic himself.

Mountain is very demanding of his own combat abilities, and he is constantly training to better himself. Ever since he first arrived at Rhodes Island, this fact has never failed to catch his fellow operators by surprise.
It is certainly understandable why they would think that. After all, with just his natural-born might, Mountain is already able to take on many of our operators, and his combat abilities certainly leave little to be desired. Even prior to his enlistment, Mountain's abilities more than satisfied our mid-to-high-difficulty missions' participation requirements.
However, this was not enough for him.
This may be a result of how he personally sees his strength. To him, he still has a long way to go until he is truly strong, and having encountered all these formidable operators at Rhodes Island has only reinforced this thinking.
On the other hand, it may also have to do with his own objectives. He hasn't ever revealed his goal to anyone, but it is obvious he is working towards bringing it to fruition and that he needs to become even stronger in order to do so.
Simply put, you might want to pay the training room a visit in the evenings if he isn't out on missions. You might just be able to catch a breathtaking showdown there.

[Classified Log]
I've talked to Silence already. During our conversation, she didn't really display the kind of determination she had for her own actions that Kal'tsit said she had. It seems she has gone through quite a bit herself, though that doesn't change the fact there are certain things that I cannot tell her right now.
Kal'tsit didn't agree to help them because she was convinced by Silence's honesty; there likely isn't anyone other than Amiya who could manage to do that.
Kal'tsit agreed because Mountain is worth something to Rhodes Island. This is the biggest reason.
Now, Kal'tsit didn't really tell me what he's worth, and my guess is she couldn't be bothered to tell me, but it isn't very hard to figure out what exactly it is. Mountain can cut open new paths, and through these new paths, we can get into places that we couldn't have otherwise. He might also be a trump card, especially one that can be used to negotiate with Rhine Lab.
Well, saying this makes me feel like I'm a baddie... Whatever, only a few people have the clearance to read this anyway.
To tell the truth, though, if we don't have to, I'm not sure I'd want to get on Rhine Lab's bad side. Since we're working together, it's better to just stick with the status quo. I'm sure Kal'tsit doesn't want to cross them, either. Which means that while Mountain does have some utility in that sense, she probably isn't thinking of using him that way for the time being.
This also means that, to put it in less flattering terms, Mountain is just a refugee that Rhodes Island chose to take in.
Feels kinda like it's more or less the same thing we always do.
After all, we get a lot of folks with pretty messed up pasts. You could probably say what Mountain's been through was cute, compared to those guys. With traumatic pasts a dime a dozen here, what's the harm in taking him in?
I'm not trying to be condescending or anything. He's a fine, young man, and he knows what's appropriate and not in all kinds of situations. Most young folks these days aren't sharp like that, tsk tsk.
Anyway, I've had a little chat with him and everyone else who was involved in the jailbreak. To avoid attracting any unwanted attention, we'll keep everything that has to do with Rhine Lab and the jailbreak classified; anything else is fair game, though—Looking at the information I got afterwards, it looks like all the info about his jailbreak was suppressed, so I suppose all this hush-hush is working.
He also promised me that he'll at the very least let us know in advance if he ever decides to do anything against Rhine Lab, so I guess everyone's happy.

Mountain isn't one to shy from sharing his prison stories. If you're curious about prison life, you could do worse than asking him directly.
However, it would be in our best interest to simply ignore the invitation he extended to the Doctor.
This isn't to say he was trying to deceive the Doctor. On the contrary, it was perhaps his way of showing sincerity to one whom he trusts.
That may be the case, but that is also exactly why we shouldn't take him seriously. It doesn't matter how powerful he used to be in prison. It doesn't change the fact that he was a felon.
The reason he said that was most likely because he had nothing to his name.
His family is still serving time elsewhere, and there is nothing he can do to get his revenge right now. He used to be a pampered rich kid, and now he has to go incognito at a pharma company after spending six years behind bars. He may seem very calm, but I can say for sure that this came as a huge shock to him.
The only thing that he has is probably the name he made for himself at Mansfield State Prison. His reputation there may just have been an illusion, but it is nonetheless something he built from the ground up himself.
This isn't to suggest he's too wrapped up in something that's not real. What I am trying to say is that every time he says that, he's actually making fun of himself as well as reminding himself that this, too, is part of his past.
Of course, we cannot eliminate the possibility that Mountain will actually reclaim what is rightfully his one day and take over the prison out of nostalgia. He might even invite the Doctor there as a guest.
He probably could pull it off.

Many of our operators have seen that other side of Mountain on those missions where he has to truly give it his all. His sharp fangs and his fierce appearance are almost like the embodiment of violence.
Mountain is fully aware of this himself, and he doesn't ever ask those whom he has scared to look at him any other way.
However, contrary to his expectations, he wasn't ostracized by any of our operators because of this.
This is undoubtedly because we have other operators who fight in far scarier ways here; everyone has gotten used to this long ago. It likely also has to do with the fact his fierceness on the field hasn't changed how courteous he normally is—
A person who's brutal on his enemies can still be likable to his friends and family. Once they realize that his graciousness isn't a mere social pretense, most would naturally come to understand that his ferocity and his friendliness are two sides of the same coin.
However, it's likely that he isn't aware of this himself.
After all, he himself claims that his composure, his calm, and his politeness are all just a mask, a facade. Yet there likely wasn't ever a facade; personalities are more complicated than that. His excuse is more like a kind of self-loathe towards his violent side, and he loathes this violent side of his because he strives to be even more calm and polite.
Suppose he's actually wearing a mask as he says, though. If a person has been wearing a mask each and every day for decades, then who can say for sure that is actually a mask?
Of course, we aren't trying to say there's anything wrong with Mountain; he isn't abandoning his violent ways as a means of rejecting them, after all. Yet there is perhaps an idea that he's going to need to learn during his time here in Rhodes Island: He needn't feel ashamed for this.
After all, we all know that he never fights anyone undeserving of his rage.

...
The moment I first set foot in prison, I was angry.
I felt anger at my circumstances. I cursed my fate. I took my rage out on the prisoners around me, and even the guards. I once treated these chains and spikes as weapons.
They've hurt so many others in my name, and I in turn have received plenty of wounds of my own. But my fury never diminished, not even the slightest bit. All I could feel was it burning ever brighter, ever fiercer.
Until one time I awoke from being beaten into unconsciousness, and the doctor treating me said that she felt I was a very weak man.
I thanked her from the bottom of my heart.
Since that day, I began to show restraint. These chains and spikes were no longer used to harm others, but instead to defend myself, as well as those who could not defend themselves.
I began to earn the respect of others, even gaining some small amount of freedom within that prison. But I was the only one who knew that my burning rage had not yet flickered out. It had simply stopped growing. It continued to torment me in the dead of night.
However, it was only because of this that I felt I was able to walk forwards, and the meaning of these chains and spikes gradually changed once again, becoming the means I used to keep myself in check.
Afterwards, these restraints of mine followed me to a pharmaceutical company. There, I still habitually wore them, but they had become nothing more than a set of work-out equipment. There were even people there who thought they looked stylish, and learned to make their own for fashion.
It was there that I spent an indescribably beautiful period of my life. However, once news of my parents' deaths reached my ears, a question arose in my heart: why had I decided to restrain myself all this time?
Was it for that singular moment when I could finally release my rage without reservation? Or was it for a moment when I could finally let my hatred go?
Now, with my parents dead, and those that framed them also dead, the suspicions on me have been washed clean as well.
My fury sputtered out, my hatred died down, and I was truly free.
But I was not happy. The moment the Hyde brothers died, I felt nothing, because I had no idea what to do with myself.
However, once I felt the weight of these chains and spikes on my body, I suddenly came to realize—
These bindings are the price I paid for my freedom. They make me feel heavy, but at the same time, they make me feel alive.
Yes. I still yet live. I still have somewhere to return to. I still have things I must do.
—A speech given by Mountain at his parents' funeral.

I have no right to write to you. I left you behind, after all.
But now, I believe I must write this letter to you.
You asked me once: what can I do to get through these torturous days?
To put it another way, am I prepared to kill someone, even an enemy of mine?
Back then, I could not give you an answer. But now, I think I might have something to say.
Before I made my move, someone told me my sentence could be shortened, or I could even avoid serving jail time entirely had I wanted. A new life would await me once I got my fortune and my property back.
When I heard this proposal, I felt fear.
In Mansfield Prison, I met all sorts of inmates. They were in there for all kinds of different reasons, but personally, I doubt many are innately evil. Most of them were just people who could not endure their pain and had finally succumbed to fate. After coming to Rhodes Island, I have stood shoulder to shoulder with many fighters as they faced Oripathy and challenged their unfair fates. They are extremely brave, yet they pay a heavy price.
There are many who lack the power or means to overcome the hardships in their way, and many more who struggle to wage war against their own fates, so much so that I felt a sort of guilt when I realized I had the ability to control my own, and to embrace what you could call a happy life.
I know this too is but a kind of arrogance, and no one will be grateful for my guilt. Even if I don't lend a hand, no one will comment on my lack of action—after all, everyone is simply facing their own difficulties with all they have.
But since I do feel guilt, since I do have the ability to overcome my hardships, rather than carry on a perpetual confession of my crime, I believe I should bear it on my back, displaying it to everyone out there. To show those trying to run from their own fates what it's like to face your own destiny, and to help strengthen the resolve of those about to lose their courage to do so.
So I rejected that proposal, and once I was done with my revenge, I turned myself in.
At my parents' funeral, I said I was free. That was no lie. To me, being in prison does not mean losing my freedom. I exacted my vengeance, my anger has been quelled, and my hatred is finally gone.
I chose to face my own fate, so I should shoulder my sins as I deserve.
Speaking of which, I will be incarcerated in Mansfield again. It seems I really do have a connection to that place.
I will go back, and this time I'll have a chat with the prisoners to see what more I can do for them. When my sentence is over, I think I will return to Rhodes Island, or perhaps do the sort of work Rhodes Island would. Who knows?
I say all this... in the hopes that it will reassure you that I have not been crushed or paralyzed by the weight of my sins.
I only chose an arduous path for myself. But please believe me when I say that no matter how long it takes, we will meet again at the end of this road.
