All we need is a leader. And that's you.
— Ray

The Commander is the player's character, and one of the few survivors of The Storm. The Commander controls the actions and movement of heroes in a mission and can listen to all the dialogue at Homebase, which is shown via Quest Dialogue.

They are the main protagonist of Fortnite: Save the World.

Lore[]

Originally a civilian when the Storm attacked the world, The Commander was one of the few survivors after 98% of the world's population was wiped out. After hearing a mysterious broadcast asking for help: "If anyone can hear me. I need your help, I'm all alone out here", Commander headed toward Homebase. However, they found themselves pursued by an army of Husks and Mist Monsters, before reaching Homebase and attempting to take refuge there. In this bunker, they meet Ray and the "commander's support crew", subsequently learning that they were supposed to prevent the storm from happening, and that they do not have any commander.

After a distress call is made by Ramirez, Ray decides to make the player character their new Commander, with their first mission: helping Ramirez protect survivors. After successfully launching a satellite and bringing the survivors back to Homebase, Commander and Ray both discuss people they're searching for, and Ray notes that they would be able to help other people from dying, before deploying the very first Storm Shield to push back the Storm - marking the beginning of Homebase as a resistance against The Storm.
