1170 Chief: Should be no surprise here that the Chief is a fan of the one and only Master Chief. Following in similar footsteps he joined up with the UNSC in hopes of helping people and protecting humanity. He doesn't talk much, not much is known about him because of this. We can only assume hes mimicking chief at this point but there seems to be another reason. Either way he is a capable solder, electing to wield covenant weapons over traditional UNSC weaponry.

G Spartan H4: H4 was an energetic solder back in the ODST with ambitions of leading his own team. After seeing first hand the horrors of war for a time he closed himself off from the world. He was later brought into the spartan program which in away helped restore his faith. He is a nature leader who cares about his fellow brothers in arms. He would lay down his life for any of them and was the natural choice to lead the team of Z-19's betray. He struggles with his leadership afraid to commit to plans that put his team in risk, yet its his hesitation he's afraid that resulted in the death of Jason and Roke.

Spartan-092: Spartan-092 is the heavy of the team. His was a spacer, born on a ship and abandoned by his parents. He grew up untrusting of authority with an extensive criminal background for theft and destruction of public property. Instead of throwing him in jail he was shipped off to the military. There he somehow made his way into the spartan program. He showed extreme physical strength and intelligence in handling heavy weapons. Naturally adept with vehicles as well. He was eventually matched up with the rest of the team. Originally he didn't trust them but he grew close to the team during there years of training. The sudden betray of there leader Z-19 hit him the hardest. He distrusted H4's ability to lead there squad and he blames H4's rash decision making to be the cause of Jason and Roke's presumed deaths. His loyalty and connection to the team has wavered since as he has started to question orders but he still falls in line with Recar serving as his anchor.

Bradford Branson: A mercenary for hire, haunted by the massacre at Gorna Pass, he drowned his sorrows with booze and alcohol. His marriage eventually fell apart.

ONI: Monsters exist, they have from the very beginning. We look out into the cold expanse and point our fingers to the stars. Our ignorance blinds us to the brutal truth. They live and breath through us. We are the monsters. The day they finally relies the truth. We'll see the rise of a new dawn.
General Daren Blight: Older brother of Seth Blight and Commander of Strike Team Raven Daren is a skilled combat tacticians officer and vehicle expert. He has an outstanding career and is widely regarded as ONI's most well know and famed commander, at least when it comes to being looked on positively. Daren has a deep seeded relation-ship with his brother with a presumed superiority complex. It was later revealed during the Ribose crisis that Daren wasn't so much trying to crush his brother under him as he was trying to build a legacy for him. In fairness Seth's operation on Cyan-129 was most likely a psychological trigger, being the only survivor and having the hole thing covered up most likely is suppressing some animosity for his brother receiving fame for his operations wile his biggest accomplishment was buried along with phycological trauma that was never properly diagnosed.

General Seth Blight: The younger Brother of Daren Blight and former General of the now abandoned and hostile world Gelidea. He was originally a part of ONI with his brother but following a operation that was buried by ONI, his desire to accomplish more and surpass his brother went from a family rivalry to an out right obsession. He has suffered what we believe to be a psychotic break from the events that partook during his early years which has lead to him doing some egregiously insane things from betraying the UNSC for immortality to attempting to start a rebellion in the outlying system of Gelidea. We wish to sit him down and properly interview him to cage his physiological profile. Its possible he shouldn't even be in active duty. He will be joining us in Antares so we should be able to arrange this. We will update this once we have more info.

ONI: You know them, you love to hate them. They’re the shady spies of the Halo universe.
Marco Giuseppe: 25 years old, son of Lucio and Emilia, older brother of Carlos. Cruel, efficient, and kind of a jerk. His loyalty to ONI is second only to his loyalty to his family, and after the death of his mother, he abandoned ONI to be with his father… a decision that may yet cost him his life.
Elizabeth Maxwell: 22 years old, daughter of Jeremiah Maxwell. Marco’s overzealous second in command, whose loyalty to her superior led to her following him right onto the rogue agent registry… or so it appeared. In reality, her association with Marco was an official assignment from her father.
Jeremiah Maxwell: 56 years old, father of Elizabeth Maxwell. A high-ranking officer within ONI, Jeremiah operates on the ‘business’ side of the agency, gaining and maintaining corporate alliances on the behalf of ONI. One of his many acquisitions over the years was Lucio Giuseppe’s flagship company G-Corp; with Lucio now dead, Jeremiah, as the lead stockholder, has seized the company for himself, and seems intent on eliminating anyone who can challenge his claim to leadership.
Overseer Aurelius: [CLASSIFIED]. Aurelius is head of the ‘Silencers’, a small team within ONI whose job is to conceal bodies, destroy evidence, discredit witnesses, divert blame, or whatever else ONI requires them to do in order to ensure a tidy coverup. In all of his many years overseeing these operations, Aurelius has only failed once: when he tried to put General Seth Blight on trial for the events of the Gelida Crisis. Although it was Lucio Giuseppe who ensured that Blight escaped charges, Blight is still the one Aurelius hates.
MrJustin412: [CLASSIFIED]. This brutal, merciless Spartan serves as Aurelius’ muscle, completing tasks that Aurelius lacks the strength and prowess to accomplish himself.
GreenSpartan082: [CLASSIFIED]. Aurelius’ right-hand man, Agent 082 is a callous, impatient operator. He has little regard for subtlety or niceties, preferring to simply get on with the task at hand. [Power Level: 23]
__________________________________________________________________________________
ONI Oversight Division: A covert sub-branch of ONI, tasked with overseeing and supervising the missions and agents of the main organisation. They operate independently and with almost limitless authority, outranking most other officers in other divisions. However, their team is small, and therefore, their influence is limited, so they tend to intervene only in the most extreme of situations.
Carlos Giuseppe: 23 years old, son of Lucio and Emilia, younger brother of Marco. Formerly a private in the UNSC marines, until he resigned from military service and went rogue. He resurfaced after the death of his mother, and was eventually recruited into the ONI Oversight Division, where he was partnered with Agent Meridian. While he was reportedly a capable, obedient soldier during his time with the UNSC, he has since exhibited a more serious demeanour, and a disregard for lawful expectations and conventions. After losing his mother, several of his friends, being forced to kill his own father, and spending time trapped in a desolate alternate reality, many concerns have been raised about whether he’s in a fit mental state to continue missions.
Marcella “Quandary” Jones: Exact age and family status unknown, although she has exhibited a close, almost motherly bond, with the Meridian sisters. As head agent of the ONI Oversight Division, Quandary’s job consists of sending spies to spy on other spies and as such, she’s as ruthless as she is generous, and as insightful as she is deceitful. Most importantly, however, she is extremely close with her team, taking great pains to get to know each of her agents on a personal level. She has complete faith in the capabilities of her agents, but when the situation calls for it, she’s fully capable of holding her own right beside them on the battlefield.
Gena Grey: 29 years old, orphaned with no siblings. Captain of the ONI Oversight Division’s one-of-a-kind command ship, Gena is something of a grumpy aunt to the team. She’s been with the division since before Quandary took charge, and still grumbles every now and then about the ‘good old days’ when the team had more members and a bigger budget.
Amelia Isabella Meridian: 23 years old, orphaned, older sister of Angeline. Better known as ‘Agent AIM’, most of her pre-ONI background is classified, but ever since joining the team at age 20, Amy has been the shining star of the Oversight Division, excelling in operations. That said, she’s still naïve and headstrong, with a preference for rolling solo, traits that have gotten her into more than her fair share of trouble over the years. Her involvement with Carlos Giuseppe has helped ground her, somewhat, with their equally brash attitudes helping them to keep each other in check during missions. Some have worried that her closeness with Carlos may be clouding her judgement somewhat, but those who know her better are all too happy to point out that she was reckless long before meeting Carlos.
Angeline Regina Meridian: 21 years old, orphaned, younger sister of Amelia. Better known as ‘Angi the engi’, she serves as the team’s chief engineer. Despite being too young for field work, she joined the team at the same time Amy did, which gave her several years to learn the ins and outs of the command ship, training under the previous chief engineer. During a space battle, a stray missile struck the engine compartment, killing the previous engineer, and badly wounding Angi. Despite losing part of her arm, and suffering burn scars to her face, she stuck with the team after she recovered, although she now rarely leaves the ship.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Strike Team Firebrand: After Jim Branson rose to prominence as a local hero, he was assigned command of a small strike team. This squad is often in a state of flux, with members being lost and replaced at a fairly regular basis. Despite this, Firebrand remains an organised, unified unit, loyal to the UNSC cause, and resolute in their ideals.
Jim Branson: 23 years old, son of the now-deceased General Bradford Branson. Formerly a private in the UNSC marines, where he was partnered with Carlos Giuseppe, Jim was appointed head of a specialised, independent task force dedicated to dealing with the surviving “Super Flood”. While he was known to be a bit of a clown during his time as a marine, he has become a lot more focused and attentive, leading his team with skill and precision in a number of successful operations. However, the loss of his father has had a severe impact on him, and only time will tell what the long-term consequences of this loss might be for Jim and his team. Although others put a lot of faith in him, he’s always felt that he’s out of his depth, now more than ever.
Anya Branson: 26 years old, daughter of Bradford Branson, and older sister to Jim. Anya is an overwhelmingly mediocre operative, scoring average marks during training, achieving satisfactory results in missions, and overall, not doing much except the bare minimum. Many of her superiors and teammates have attested that she has the potential to accomplish more than this, but it’s unclear what might motivate her to do so. Even after the death of her father, her behaviour has remained largely unchanged. Not even following the orders of her younger brother seems to bother her.
Marius Marks: 31 years old, family history unknown. Marius joined the UNSC at 18, working his way up the ranks, and serving as a front line sniper in the marine corps during the closing days of the Human-Covenant war. Eventually, he moved on to be trained as an ODST, and was assigned to Jim’s team shortly before the Necropolis incident. Unbeknownst to Jim, Marius was appointed to join the team by General Branson himself, with specific instructions to keep Jim safe. Even now that the General is dead, Marius has devoted himself to diligently following those orders.
CC Browning: Age and family history unknown. Little is known about this man’s background, save for his skill in combat, and fascination with brute tactics and tech. His Reach-era EVA armour is a testament to how long he’s been in service, and Jim is just another in a long line of commanders he’s served under over the years. He has no personal stake in the personal struggles that plague some of his teammates; to him, this is just another standard assignment.
Admiral Sabree: Age, family status, and general history are all unknown. Admiral Sabree is, in a word, a mystery. No records of him exist in UNSC databases or ONI archives. No one’s exactly sure who he is, when he got trained, or where he got his hands on a full, functioning suit of Spartan armour… nor does anyone know how he’s able to wear it. Despite his enigmatic status, his talent in battle is undeniable, and therefore his presence in Jim’s team has been reluctantly accepted by UNSC and ONI officials.
Bianca Vargas: 27, family records redacted. Bianca joined the UNSC through the science division, fascinated by alien technology and weapons. Eventually, though, she grew tired of her studies, and realised it was far more fun to disassemble aliens with their own guns. She joined the Spartan program late, leaving her with only the pink suit that no one else had wanted. She took that in stride, however, and remains an extremely efficient field operative.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Fireteam Cobalt: While they aren’t nearly as accomplished or as famous as the Master Chief’s own Blue Team, this squad is equally steadfast in its desire to do good, and represents a formidable force on any battlefield.
Rachel Tamara: 24 years old, familial history classified. Calm and capable leader of Gelida’s blue team, Rachel had served loyally in the UNSC for several years before she and her team were assigned to the ill-fated Necropolis mission on Gelida. It was there that she met Jim Branson, and after working together for a time, the two became romantically involved, although their duties as leaders of separate teams often keep them apart.
Mark Mason: 25 years old, familial history classified. He’s been Rachel’s best friend since long before they joined the UNSC, often thinking of her as younger sister in need of his protection, despite the fact that she’s just as capable a fighter as he is, and that she outranks him. He’s a bold combatant, preferring to take on enemies at close range with a BR or shotgun, and has been known to literally tackle larger targets like hunters and vehicles, in order to plant grenades on them.
Dereck Pharrell: 36 years old, no known family. A veteran of many battles, Pharrell was rendered mute by a battlefield injury many years ago. He’s unwaveringly obedient, and specialises in sidearms such as the SMG and magnum.
Kiki Silva: 24 years old, familial history classified. Rachel’s unofficial second in command, Silva is something of a lone wolf. As the team’s designated scout/sniper, she often breaks off from the main squad to sneak behind enemy lines, or find a better location to snipe from. That said, she’s proven herself fully capable of holding her own in a close quarters fight, wielding her kukri knife with ruthless competence.
Harold Helm: 34, orphaned, no siblings. One of the lesser-known members of the team, this flame marine is rarely sent out on missions – not because he’s bad at fighting, but because the team’s operations usually require a little more finesse than his flamethrower can offer. When he is taken out on missions, however, he proves his worth with fiery efficiency.
Melanie Zellner: 24 years old, familial history classified. Another of Rachel’s childhood friends, this Argus-armoured Spartan has modelled much of her tactics after her team leader. Like Rachel, she specialises in the use of the battle rifle, and Melanie often takes point alongside Rachel during combat operations.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Olive Squad: While they’re not the biggest team around, or the toughest, this team somehow always manages to wind up caught right in the middle of the action at just the right time. Unfortunately, this hasn’t always ended well for them, with two former members of their team having recently been killed in action. In spite of this, the team members who remain do their best to get by, and honour the memory of their fallen friends with every successful mission.
Spartan Z19: 28 years old, family connections unknown. Formerly a General, Z19 was placed in charge of the salvaged ‘Super Flood’ investigation on Gelida. After the specimens escaped, however, he was stripped of his position as General, and demoted to team leader of the rag-tag band of misfits that is Green Team. Although he harbours some resentment towards his superiors for this maltreatment, he has nonetheless embraced his new role.
Charlie Bucket: 23 years old, no records exist of his family or past. Charlie is the only remaining member of the original Green Team (alongside Roke77 and Zarry, both deceased), a fact that weighs on him constantly. After the death of Roke, he took some of his fallen friend’s weapons and armour, and helped hunt down Zarry. Now, he serves dutifully in his new team, honouring the memory of his fallen comrades.
DBMAN: Age, family, and history unknown. A defector from a defunct covenant cell, this elite took on the moniker DBMAN, and sided with the UNSC against his former comrades. He specialises in heavy weaponry, such as flamethrowers and Gatling guns.
Robowarrior: 28, no known relatives. Known more affectionately as Rob, this poor pilot is in way over his head, and he knows it. But this hasn’t stopped him from getting dragged along on all kind of crazy adventures. He generally uses the battle rifle, although he’s been known to use rocket launchers as well.
Corrivalis: An AI unit designed for strategic planning and tactical analysis. Manifests as a blue-hued hologram of a Reach-era Spartan.
__________________________________________________________________________________
UNSC: These characters are also affiliated with the UNSC, but aren’t part of any specific team.
Pilot Jerome: 26, unremarkable background. A simple civilian contractor on Gelida, he was forcibly conscripted into aiding the UNSC cause when the majority of their forces withdrew from the planet, leaving him as one of only two certified pilots on the surface. Suffice to say, his services were in high demand, and he’s not enjoying any of the attention.
Jason 397a: [Records Unavailable] One of the more enigmatic operatives on Gelida, no one is exactly sure what rank this soldier holds, which branch of the military he works for, or what it is that he actually does on the planet. However, it is an undeniable fact that he has a tendency to wind up right in the thick of things, just as those who work with him have a tendency to die tragically on the field of battle.
Commander Greer: 28 years old, no known family. Mason Greer is more than just a soldier, he’s a survivor. Against all odds, he’s walked away alive from every mission, even when dozens of his fellow ODST have met their end in his wake. He’s implacable, unstoppable, but he bears the weight of all those who have died so he can live. Burdened by this guilt, he prefers to only carry out solo missions, so he can avoid having to watch anyone else give their life on his behalf.
Agent Mako: 25, all other data classified. Although she holds a rank within ONI, and bears the moniker of Agent, the ODST known only as Mako is more of a free agent. She specialises in long-range assassinations, although she’s also talented in pistol combat for close-quarters encounters. Currently, she's assigned to work with the Oversight Division on Gelida, but was recently sent to Antares to aid Jim Branson and Commander Greer.
General Bradford Branson: [Deceased]. Father of Anya and Jim. Bradford first made his mark on the history books when he led the Vanguard movement during the Battle of Gorna Pass. After many adventures during the Human-Covenant war, Branson settled down and raised two children, both of whom followed in his footsteps and took up careers in the military. Eventually, with war looming again, he acquiesced to the demands of his old friends, and returned to the fold. When he learned his son was in trouble, he set out personally to help him, a decision that eventually cost him his life, when his former friend Lucio Giuseppe quite literally stabbed him in the back. He is missed by many.
Rodrik Branson: [Deceased]. Younger brother of Bradford. Rodrik, as far as anyone can tell, has no official rank or affiliation with ONI or the UNSC. Unofficially, however, he’s a man of immense influence and intelligence. He fought alongside his brother during the Battle of Gorna Pass, and has worked closely with many other powerful figures since then. Although he’s now at an age when he really shouldn’t be doing field work, he looks far younger than he is, thanks to numerous experimental surgeries. With his brother gone, he is intent on protecting what little family he has left: Anya and Jim. He met his end shortly after the fall of Talon Sigma, at the hands of Zaal ‘Varim.
Jeremy Miles: [Classified] An accomplished soldier with an extensive record, General Miles is the current commanding officer of the strategic outpost Sigma Talon on Antares Prime, tasked with defending the base and overseeing all local operations. While he presents himself with a jovial demeanour, his psychological profile presents a man lacking in empathy; troops under his command have casualty rates far higher than most of his peers, and he exhibits no guilt or remorse for the lives lost under his ‘guidance’.
Joe Filmes: [Classified] General Miles’ second in command, this Spartan has little in the way of conscience or ambition, preferring to simply follow the orders of his commander. He wields an energy sword with practiced skill, and has a cybernetic arm.
Commander ‘Knightstalker’: 28, background unknown. The imperious, regimented commander of the forces stationed at Sigma Talon, this man is wholly devoted to following orders, adhering to the chain of command without question or hesitation. He has nothing but disdain for those who try to think outside the box, or find ‘a better way’ to deal with an issue in defiance of their existing orders.
Captain Lisha Thorne: 25, unremarkable background. A prominent figure among the UNSC personnel stationed at Talon Sigma, Captain Thorne is a practical, quick-thinking commander, who values the lives of those under her command above any other priority. She was assigned to the outpost primarily to help balance out the more inflexible, uncaring preferences of General Miles.
Jaida Hadley: Age 31. Both of Jaida’s parents served in the UNSC during the first human-Covenant war… and neither of them survived it, leaving her with an overwhelming desire to prove her worth and live up to their sacrifice. Jaida serves as captain of the Cobalt Dawn, making her little more than a glorified chauffeur for Greer.
Sidney Delphine: 34, family history unknown. This cybernetically-enhanced Sergeant is Captain Hadley’s right hand, serving her loyally.
Bal ‘Narom: Having lost several of his family members to the follies of the Covenant, this young elite chose to remain on Earth after the end of the first human-Covenant war, rather than return to Sanghelios. He was effectively ‘adopted’ by the UNSC, where he formed many friendships with soldiers and Spartans.
Zel ‘Camor: Zel’s clan were loyal to the Covenant cause until the very end, driving them to the verge of extinction, with only two survivors – two daughters, opposite as day and night, save for their equal disdain for Sangheili society. The younger of these two sisters, Zel wandered for many months, searching for meaning and purpose, before eventually finding her way back to her childhood friend, Bal. She doesn’t share his faith and friendship towards humanity, feeling uncomfortable in the company of the UNSC, but she is wholly loyal to Bal.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Insurrectionists: residents of human colonies who have openly rebelled against the rule of Earth and the UNSC.
Davis ‘Manticore’ Mangrove: 46, family deceased. Leader of the so-called ‘Hybrid cell’ on the planet of Sliver Septum, this disgruntled UNSC veteran lost part of his arm during a battle with the Covenant. He was given a cheap prosthetic, a paltry severance payment, and discarded by the UNSC on a medical discharge. Embittered, he returned home, stewing in his discontent. When the war ended, he gathered up a group of other ex-military operators and struck out against his former employees, blowing up a UNSC compound while its soldiers were out on parade commemorating the end of the war. Though no one was hurt in the attack, the act didn’t sit well with one particular local, who had only very recently retired from UNSC life: Bradford Branson. Bradford donned his armour for what he’d intended to be the last time, and lead the local UNSC in flushing out Manticore and his collaborators. Manticore was originally believed to have been killed in the ensuing battle, but rumours abound that he went into hiding, gathering more supporters for something big.
Carl ‘Chimera’ Kendrick: 28, no familial connections of note. One of Manticore’s staunchest lieutenants, Chimera is a master strategist and marksman who favours a DMR.
Harriet ‘Harpy’ Harper: 27, family deceased. One of Manticore’s more recent recruits, Harpy lost her husband and two children to a roving band of Covenant Remnant, who the UNSC had been ‘too busy’ to deal with. Unlike most of the other ‘Hybrids’, who use salvaged UNSC tech, she wields dual needlers she took from the Covenant who killed her family.
Steven ‘Sphinx’ Henson: formerly a police officer on Earth, Sphinx turned his back on the UNSC after their profound failure to protect the Earth during the human-Covenant war. He still wears his police-issue body armour, and wields a battle rifle.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Denizens: The twisted, tormented inhabitants of The Timeless Plains.
Oracle: [Deceased] One of oldest inhabitants of the Plains, the being known only as Oracle sees himself as a bringer of truth, one whose word is law. He makes it his task to mandate these laws to all those who arrive in the Timeless Plains. In doing so, he believes he is preserving the status quo, when in truth all he is doing is perpetuating a cycle of brutality and ceaseless violence. Although he believes the Timeless Plains were always a realm of war and madness, and there is nothing that can be done to change that, the sad truth is that it was he who made it this way, and he who is keeping it that way. Although he managed to maintain shaky alliances with other inhabitants of the Plains, he was eventually betrayed and killed by Tivus.
Wayfinder: The being calling himself Wayfinder arrived in the Plains at the same time Oracle did, and the pair have worked together ever since. Over time, their memories of home, family, and identity faded to nothing, until all they had left were the titles and purposes they had created for themselves. The Wayfinder makes it his task to roam the Plains, and rescue new arrivals, so that they can be brought to the Oracle to be ‘educated’. After having a falling-out with his former friend, Wayfinder struck off on his own.
Tivus: One of the most prolific Warlords to prowl the Plains, Tivus is as charismatic as he is cruel, and will devote all of his resources to destroying anyone who irks him in even the slightest way. He has little regard for the lives of his men, and cares even less about the lives of anyone else. Although he’s perfectly adept with guns, his preferred weapon of choice is a coil of chain with a hook on the end, which he can use to grapple or mutilate enemies.
Felix: Second in command to Tivus, Felix is far less human than he appears, and is something of a cockroach (metaphorically speaking) – through skill and cunning, or just dumb luck, he always manages to weasel his way out of every situation.
__________________________________________________________________________________
ATLAS-N: Originally from another universe entirely, this branch of ATLAS were sent forward in time, and sideways through dimensions, when their version of Project VORTEX was damaged. The group ultimately split, with half teaming up with Lucio Giuseppe to pursue a means to return to their home universe, and the other half striking off on their own.
Commander: Modelled on Nato from the original Project VORTEX series, though not explicitly referred to by name, the Commander is an unwaveringly loyal, determined man, willing to do whatever it takes to protect his men. Alas, his brutal ‘means justify the ends’ approach to problems make his motives appear far more villainous than he’d wish.
Corsic: Corsic was one of the many members of ATLAS-N who sided with the Commander, but was separated from the group before they were banished to the Timeless Plains. He’s been working towards his own goals ever since, forging alliances with the Banished and the Harvesters… although his intended endgame remains unclear.
Cassian: The self-proclaimed leader of the ATLAS-N cell that struck off on their own, Cassian is a pretentious, petty man who always prioritises his own selfish needs over the wellbeing of those under his command. Although this has led to more than few conflicts with his followers, his skill in combat has allowed him to retain his position of power.
Cromwell: The roguish assassin of the ATLAS-N splinter group, he used to be a close friend of Corsic, and while he doesn’t particularly like Cassian, he relishes in any opportunity to ply his personal trade of taking lives – and Cassian provides him with plenty of opportunities to do exactly that.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Loyalists: At the time of the battle of Antares, most of the disparate factions of alien races have been united under the rule of Rocar Enpara, who seeks to consolidate them into a new Covenant order… and destroy humanity along the way. The characters below are those who are wholly loyal to him and his cause.
Argustus (AKA Ripper): This high-ranking jiralhanae general has a rather bizarre concept of honour – he rarely uses guns, instead preferring to dispatch his enemies in melee combat. How he’s survived this long employing that strategy is anyone’s guess (although the Hunter he keeps as a personal bodyguard might have something to do with it). Despite his strange approach to one on one battles, ‘Ripper’ is nonetheless a cunning commander, possessed of a tactical intelligence far above that of the average brute.
Monolith: The Hunter who serves as Argustus’ personal bodyguard/muscle, little is known about this being’s history or origins. Its counterpart is believed to be deceased, and it seems to have adopted Argustus as its new bonded partner, although its deference to him suggests that it may also owe him a debt of some kind.
Mortem ‘Evollo: Devoutly loyal to Rocar, Mortem is a callous, cunning commander. He sees those under his command as largely disposable – in his view, if his troops fall in battle, then they were too weak to survive anyway, and are therefore unimportant. Mortem himself is a force to be reckoned with, with or without a squad by his side. He prefers to fight up close, wielding a modified energy sword, and his armour has been augmented so that his energy shields don’t simply deflect attacks, but absorb their kinetic energy, gradually boosting his own strength, or allowing him to unleash that built-up energy in a singular pulse.
Qolum ‘Thira: Hailing from a distant Sangheili colony system, Qolum’s home planet had significantly greater size and gravity than most others inhabited by his species, its colonists gradually evolving to become bigger and stronger over several generations. Compared to the average Sangheili, Qolum is a *** being, noticeably taller and bulkier, with hardened leathery skin, and a savagery in battle more akin to that of a Jiralhanae. While he’s capable of using firearms, and carries an energy sword, he prefers to fight his battles using brute strength and barbarity. He, like his compatriot Mortem, is one of Rocar’s prominent commanders.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Banished: Beholden to the rule and Will of Atriox, this brute-led faction split off from, and outlived, the original Covenant Empire. Having consolidated their power of the intervening years, the Banished have since set their sights on The Ark, although they have diverted some of their resources to assisting Rocar’s cause.
Grarl (AKA Fletch): One of Atriox’s trusted lieutenants within the ranks of the Banished, Fletch is an accomplished combat pilot, and one of the few brutes to hold the title of Shipmaster. He has little interest in gore or battle, preferring to annihilate his enemies from a distance from the comfort of his ship, or at range with his bow. However, like many brutes, he still enjoys the thrill of the hunt.
Sevv ‘Helyr (AKA Savage): An elite who serves as Fletch’s lieutenant, ‘Savage’ has thoroughly earned his moniker. Brandishing a concussion rifle and menacing assortment of blades and spikes, Sevv prides himself on inflicting maximum suffering.
Bliizar (AKA Yeti): A ranking Banished commander, Bliizar specialises in operating on snowy terrain, leading small guerrilla units on hit-and-run missions. Unlike some among his species, he’s amiable with beings of other races, believing that far-reaching alliances with unlikely allies will ultimately be the key to victory for those he serves. He has close ties with the Harvesters, and is a confidante of Corsic.
Shipmistress Fey: Eager to prove herself every bit as capable as the males of her species, Fey is extremely merciless in engagements, whether they be on the surface or in space. She has no regard for combat etiquette, accepts no surrenders, and refuses to respect ceasefires. The only victory conditions she’ll accept is the retreat or defeat of her enemies.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Dark Grasp: Devoted to immoral scientific endeavours and exploitation of the ancient magics of the universe, this offshoot has steadily been growing in prominence within the ranks of Rocar Enpara’s army. Led by (and named for) the Blackhand, this faction has thus far remained loyal to Rocar’s cause, but only time will tell if his vision will be enough to sate the cabal’s hunger for power.
Varn ‘Doram, (AKA, The Blackhand): Once a low-ranking lieutenant among the other elites, Varn has clawed his way to prominence. He’s said to be one of the most skilled snipers to ever emerge from the ranks of the Covenant, and is a talented pilot, in addition to his knack for surviving situations that would spell the end for lesser beings. Many years ago, he briefly crossed paths with Bradford Branson, during which he acquired the injury that earned him the nickname he now wears with pride: The Blackhand. He now serves as recruiter of sorts, gathering former Covenant leaders from across the galaxy together under one banner. Despite his prominent position in the united Covenant armies, his unbridled ambition still remains unsatisfied, manifesting as a desire to conquer the supernatural powers of the galaxy, and bend them to his will.
Cath ‘Camor: Loyal to the Covenant cause until the very end, the Camor clan’s faith brought them to the verge of extinction, with only two survivors – two daughters, opposite as day and night, save for their equal disdain for Sangheili society. The older of these two sisters, Cath wandered for many years, searching for belonging and purpose… until she was found by Varn. Equal in intellect and ambition, the pair were destined to become rivals and partners in equal measure, their competitiveness driving them to attain new heights, together and apart. Inevitably, their closeness blossomed into a romantic relationship, and although some may argue that this is a weakness that could be used against them, they vocally, violently disagree.
Bralgore (AKA Crimson): This brute chieftain values the simple things in life, believing the ability to take the life of another is the greatest power any being can hold. He has no interest in complex strategies or intricate machinations, and though he won’t even pretend to comprehend any of the sciences or magics his companions have been experimenting with, he understands all too well how much more powerful these experiments could make him, and is content to serve as the Dark Grasp’s muscle in exchange for a share of that power.
Yhil ‘Gzared (AKA, Patches): A scientist whose body is more metal than flesh at this point, ‘Patches’ has always served his own interests above all else. He specialises in genetic manipulation, and was the lead mind behind Zaal’s original Super Flood experiments.
Zaal ‘Varim: Some might call Zaal unlucky. This would be an understatement. Once a proud, powerful General in the Covenant army, he remained loyal to the prophet’s cause even after the hierarchs betrayed his people. He eagerly joined Jul Mdama’s Covenant Remnant, and managed to salvage a significant number of troops and equipment after Jul’s demise. But once he made his way to Gelida, things went from bad to worse, with the loss of many of his followers, including his son. However, for every failure and misfortune the universe has thrown his way, his strength and ferocity have only grown.
__________________________________________________________________________________
The Harvesters: Born from the ashes of the fallen Covenant empire, the Harvesters are a faction unlike any other. They follow no faith, and adhere to no ideology. They pride themselves solely on their prowess in battle, and their ability to take what they please from those less powerful than themselves.
Ormentus: Like all brutes, Ormentus is immensely strong and savage, but he possesses an intellectual capacity beyond that of most of his kind. He’s as cunning as he is ferocious, armed with a keen intellect and a chillingly charismatic demeanour. He wields rumour and reputation as effectively as he wields his gravity mace, and is proficient in intimidation tactics and psychological warfare.
Ezkos: This cyborg brute is rarely seen far from Ormentus’ side. He serves as something of a mix between enforcer and executioner, punishing those who fail in their duties, and eliminating those who draw Ormentus’ ire.
Spindle: Ormentus’ most trusted lieutenant, Spindle prefers to do most of his work solo, and is often sent on infiltration or assassination missions, rather than leading troops.
Scythe: A Covenant Remnant commander that Spindle was once sent to assassinate, this elite proved able to match his attacker blow for blow, the arrival of reinforcements eventually forcing Spindle to retreat. Months later, following the death of Jul ‘Mdama and the dissolution of the Covenant Remnant, the elite who would come to adopt the name ‘Scythe’ approached the Harvesters, where Spindle vouched for his recruitment, eventually taking Scythe on as his second in command.
Beyl & Vren ‘Franar: Spindle’s most trusted assassins, these black-armoured brothers employ different methods, but are equally deadly. Beyl is adept with bladed weapons, but is just as dangerous while fighting unarmed, thanks to the crushing strength afforded by his mechanical prosthetic legs. Vren, by contrast, is a skilled marksman, capable of utilising almost any conventional firearm with unerring accuracy.
Vil & Grek ‘Virrok: These two elites have earned their place in Ormentus’ inner circle in different ways. The younger, Vil, is a capable tactician, whereas his brother Grek is mindlessly vicious, known for carving ragged swathes of desolation through enemy forces. Working together, the duo are a force to be reckoned with. [Power Levels: 40]
Snyvel: A conniving, feral fighter with no qualms about employing underhanded tactics, this jackal prides himself on his unpredictability. Small and fast, he usually serves as a scout, leading small hit-and-run squads to harass enemy patrols and supply lines.
Ziikl: Cast out from her hive society for daring to question the command of her queen, this ‘unmutual’ drone found her way to the Harvesters, and worked long and hard to earn her high rank among them.
Sliv ‘Ergol: A recent recruit to the Harvester ranks, this crimson-armoured elite is eager to prove himself, and wields dual blades with ruthless delight. After Corsic offered to ally himself with the Harvesters, Sliv was tasked with assisting him in his efforts.
Tel ‘Yargol: This elite isn’t a soldier, or a strategist. He’s a warrior, savage and scarred, serving as little more than Ormentus’ personal attack dog. When Ormentus or one of his lieutenants wishes to test the strength of a new recruit, it’s Tel that they will face.
The Leviathan: Whereas most Hunters adopt a more humanoid form, this amalgamative monster has chosen to take on a serpentine shape, not dissimilar to the worm creatures from which its body is composed. Encased in reinforced armour, and armed with a fuel rod cannon, Leviathan is the Harvesters’ ultimate living weapon.
Minos: The oldest of Ormentus’ living children, Minos has also proven to be the most disappointing. Burly and belligerent, his defining trait is his unimaginative simple-mindedness. He lacks the mental fortitude to conceive plans or strategies, preferring to simply crush all that stand in his path. As such, his father rarely allows him off the ship, keeping him busy by placing him in charge of the slave pens and the arena.
Asidios: The middle child of Ormentus’ brood, Asidios inherited too much cunning, and not enough common sense. Constantly conniving for ways to overthrow his father and seize control of the Harvesters for himself (with a distinct lack of success thus far), he has become a persistent, but minor, annoyance. While he’s a proven warrior, his tactics are cowardly. and his friends are few.
Artemys: The youngest of Ormentus’ known children, Artemys was born premature, leaving her small, pale, and fragile. Many assumed Ormentus would simply let her die, but he proved more merciful than many had imagined, devoting every resource at hand to ensure his child’s survival. The choice, while controversial at the time, proved worthwhile, as Artemys grew over the years in size, strength, and smarts, becoming the perfect protégé to her father’s legacy, able to match both wits and weapons with the toughest of Ormentus’ lieutenants. Much to the chagrin of her siblings, she swiftly claimed her place as her father’s favourite child, and, perhaps someday, his eventual successor as leader of the Harvesters.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Other: Unaffiliated characters with no loyalty or allegiance, these guys tend to work for the highest bidder, whoever they think is going to win, or themselves. Some are evil, some are good, and some are… something else entirely.
‘Relict’: [Deceased]. Once a leading researcher in a classified scientific initiative within ONI, the man now known only as Relict was involved in a great many experiments. However, his ultimate ambition was to unlock the secret of human immortality, a goal he pursued relentlessly. After his wife died before he could complete his research, he went mad with grief, unleashing his experiments and destroying the lab, before gathering a team of mercenaries and fleeing to Gelida, where he used the unique biology of the ‘Super-Flood’ to synthesise a new immortality serum. He was successful, but much of his research was later destroyed, and he was eventually killed for good by Carlos Giuseppe.
Seth Blight: 31 years old, younger brother of Daren. Some men just refuse to give up, no matter how dire the circumstances they find themselves facing. Seth Blight is one such man. Even after being stabbed in the neck and left for dead, he found a way to survive. When ONI and the UNSC tried to hold him responsible for the entire Gelida Crisis, he found a way to escape the charges. What Blight wants, more than anything else, is recognition and respect, and he’s willing to go to extreme lengths to get it.
Costello Pierce: [Deceased] 34, older brother of Desmond. Formerly a member of Jim Branson’s team, he was bribed to work for Relict and his cabal. He had an adversarial relationship with Jim, a rivalry that came to an end when Jim killed him. He was recently returned to life by the efforts of his brother, but the process seems to have had a detrimental impact on his psychological state.
Desmond Pierce: 28, younger brother of Costello. Desmond was an obedient, unremarkable, rank-and-file Spartan… until he learned of his brother’s death. He went rogue, and made his way to Gelida. After allying himself briefly with Lilian Shade, he acquired the remaining vestiges of Relict’s immortality serum, and used them to resurrect his sibling.
Julien Vex: Vex’s true age, family, and history is a mystery unto itself. Given how long he and his band of mercenaries have been in operation, the prevailing theory is that the name ‘Julien Vex’ is a title that has been worn by numerous mercs over the years, each one taking advantage of the legend that the others have left behind. The current incarnation of Vex has maintained a lower profile than his predecessors – the true extent of his manpower and resources are unknown, and he’s diverged significantly from the pattern of his forbears by accepting jobs on the behalf of ONI and the UNSC as well.
Jazmine: The daughter of the current ‘Julien Vex’, little is known about this young woman beyond her first name. Youthful and carefree, she at some point learned about her father’s true profession, and journeyed to Antares to confront him about it. It’s believed that she’s had some manner of military training, due to her proficiency in battle.
Ilyn Freeman: 41, no familial connections of note. Formerly enlisted in the UNSC as a frontline sniper, Corporal Freeman was released from service after a mission gone wrong, where the squad he was supporting were entirely wiped out. Although Ilyn was cleared of any wrongdoing, he requested a medical discharge, citing psychological trauma. Evidently, he had difficulty adjusting back to civilian life, because he soon began making a name for himself as a gun for hire, eventually falling in with Julien Vex.
Matthew Shade: [Deceased] 29, younger brother of Raymond, older brother of Lilian. A greedy, childish, over-ambitious officer stationed on Gelida, he started working with local criminal elements on an elaborate plan to conquer the planet. He plotted and carried out the murders of several UNSC officers to quickly ascend the chain of command, and started using his squad of marines for less-than-legal operations. In the end, his schemes were ruined by Jim Branson and Carlos Giuseppe, who brought his life to an explosive end.
Raymond Shade: 32, older brother of Matthew and Lilian. Shade has developed something of an obsession with Jim Branson and Carlos Giuseppe. At first, he claimed he only wanted revenge for their killing of his brother, but the connection clearly runs deeper than that. He has proven himself as tenacious as he is resourceful, coming back from dozens of defeats that would have deterred or killed a lesser man. His true motives and goals – if he even has any – are as clear as mud. Perhaps he realises just how important the pair are… and wants to be part of that importance… or maybe he just loves sowing chaos.
Lilian Shade: 24, younger sister of Raymond and Matthew. The youngest of the Shade siblings, Lilian enlisted to join the UNSC, and quickly rose to prominence as an elite soldier. After Matthew’s death, she became bitter, and while she wanted revenge on those who had taken her brother away from her, she trusted that her oldest sibling, Raymond, would be able to accomplish that task on her behalf. But after months of waiting, not only were Jim Branson and Carlos Giuseppe still alive, they were now considered heroes of the UNSC. With Raymond missing in action, Lilian set out to find her own vengeance.
Super-Flood Alpha: The first, and most powerful, of the Super-Flood on Gelida, this creature is the monster that started it all. It was the first foe that Jim and Carlos ever faced during their adventures, and its persistent refusal to die continues to haunt them.
Mr Doyle: Formerly known as Braggart T. Doyle, this man was once a privateer for the royal navy during the golden age of Pyrates. After being exposed to the remains of a broken High Elven time scrying device, he was cursed with an extended lifespan, and visions of the future. For centuries, he languished on Earth, unable to do anything to prevent the future he saw, but once the means became available for him to leave the planet – and later, travel to other dimensions entirely – he began working on a plan to change fate.
Carlos Giuseppe: 28 years old, son of Lucio and Emilia, younger brother of Marco – also has a younger half-sister, Sofia. He was formerly a private in the UNSC marines, until he resigned from military service and went rogue. He resurfaced after the death of his mother, and was eventually recruited into the ONI Oversight Division, where he was partnered with Agent Meridian. During the battle of Antares, many of his friends were killed, including Jim and Amy, which pushed his already-unstable psyche over the edge. He went mad with rage and grief, and was ultimately incarcerated for his own safety, and that of others. He languished in prison for many years, before vanishing from his cell, somehow winding up in the Timeless Plains, where he subsequently infiltrated the Mega-Verse, stranding that dimension’s version of Carlos in the Plains in his place.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Dragons: Ancient, paradoxical beings hailing from an era that predates the concepts of time and existence, these creatures are as powerful as they are ancient, many of them bearing titles that reflect their power or accomplishments. Eons ago, a group that came to be called the ‘Corrupted’ ravaged the multiverse, conquering and destroying as they pleased, laying waste to stars and civilisations. Others, who dubbed themselves ‘Enlightened’, stood against the savagery of their kin. Eventually, the Dragon race succumbed to a mass extinction, leaving only a few survivors, who scattered across the cosmos, retreating into the lower levels of reality, where their descendants were twisted and warped by the rigours of infinity.
Rutilus – the Illustrious Hound: with skin of crimson and armour of gold, this beast straddles the borderline dividing savagery and resplendence. Though he carries himself with an air of confidence and regality, he is little more than a glorified bloodhound, only his keen tracking skills elevating him above the rest of the low-ranking dregs of dragon-kind.
Heliostrafe – the Sorrowless Sunslayer: one of the most renowned warriors among the dragons of old, Heliostrafe is equal parts ferocious and intelligent. She bears the ability to drain the heat and light from external sources to augment her own emerald flames, a power that she has used to extinguish suns and bathe planets in annihilation.
Terager – the Living Blade: a soldier adept in savagery, Terager’s scales are edged in metal, partially armouring him from attack… and turning his wings into deadly scythes.
Glaryu – the Unrelenting Avalanche: a stocky, muscular beast, this frost-spitting dragon is possessed of immense strength and durability. He is somewhat lacking in intellect or ambition, seeming content to endure his existence as a living battering ram.
Trefalkyr – the Maker of Gates: though large and imposing, this dragon chose not to rampage across the galaxy or wage war against those who did. He chose the life of a labourer and architect, designing and constructing shelters, fortresses, and prisons for his fellow dragons.
Sether – the Crippled Commander: Once a military leader among the ranks of the Enlightened, Sether was wounded in a fierce battle, desiccating her right arm, and leaving her in constant agony. No longer able to lead or to fight, she went into exile, hiding himself away in the place that would come to be known as the Timeless Plains.
Scauld – the Noble Matron: in any kind of conflict, innocents are inevitably caught in the crossfire. When the Corrupted and Enlightened battled, there were some on both sides who thought about destroy the young of their enemies, to prevent them from recruiting more hatchlings to their cause. Scauld, a neutral party in the conflict, devoted herself to the protection of these innocent, defenceless eggs and hatchlings, on both sides. In the time since the end of the war, she has retreated into hiding, fiercely protecting a cache of hibernating eggs whose parents never returned from battle.
Brimer – the Searer of Souls: touting himself as something of a torturer, Brimer’s flames are unique in that they can only burn that which is intangible – thoughts, memories, emotions – while leaving objects and being physically unharmed. Over time, he has grown quite skilled in the exploitation of this ability, meticulously disassembling the psyches of his victims, or simply incinerating their very souls.
Marco Giuseppe: 25 years old, son of Lucio and Emilia, older brother of Carlos. Cruel, efficient, and kind of a jerk. His loyalty to ONI is second only to his loyalty to his family, and after the death of his mother, he abandoned ONI to be with his father… a decision that may yet cost him his life.
Elizabeth Maxwell: 22 years old, daughter of Jeremiah Maxwell. Marco’s overzealous second in command, whose loyalty to her superior led to her following him right onto the rogue agent registry… or so it appeared. In reality, her association with Marco was an official assignment from her father.
Jeremiah Maxwell: 56 years old, father of Elizabeth Maxwell. A high-ranking officer within ONI, Jeremiah operates on the ‘business’ side of the agency, gaining and maintaining corporate alliances on the behalf of ONI. One of his many acquisitions over the years was Lucio Giuseppe’s flagship company G-Corp; with Lucio now dead, Jeremiah, as the lead stockholder, has seized the company for himself, and seems intent on eliminating anyone who can challenge his claim to leadership.
Overseer Aurelius: [CLASSIFIED]. Aurelius is head of the ‘Silencers’, a small team within ONI whose job is to conceal bodies, destroy evidence, discredit witnesses, divert blame, or whatever else ONI requires them to do in order to ensure a tidy coverup. In all of his many years overseeing these operations, Aurelius has only failed once: when he tried to put General Seth Blight on trial for the events of the Gelida Crisis. Although it was Lucio Giuseppe who ensured that Blight escaped charges, Blight is still the one Aurelius hates.
MrJustin412: [CLASSIFIED]. This brutal, merciless Spartan serves as Aurelius’ muscle, completing tasks that Aurelius lacks the strength and prowess to accomplish himself.
GreenSpartan082: [CLASSIFIED]. Aurelius’ right-hand man, Agent 082 is a callous, impatient operator. He has little regard for subtlety or niceties, preferring to simply get on with the task at hand. [Power Level: 23]
__________________________________________________________________________________
ONI Oversight Division: A covert sub-branch of ONI, tasked with overseeing and supervising the missions and agents of the main organisation. They operate independently and with almost limitless authority, outranking most other officers in other divisions. However, their team is small, and therefore, their influence is limited, so they tend to intervene only in the most extreme of situations.
Carlos Giuseppe: 23 years old, son of Lucio and Emilia, younger brother of Marco. Formerly a private in the UNSC marines, until he resigned from military service and went rogue. He resurfaced after the death of his mother, and was eventually recruited into the ONI Oversight Division, where he was partnered with Agent Meridian. While he was reportedly a capable, obedient soldier during his time with the UNSC, he has since exhibited a more serious demeanour, and a disregard for lawful expectations and conventions. After losing his mother, several of his friends, being forced to kill his own father, and spending time trapped in a desolate alternate reality, many concerns have been raised about whether he’s in a fit mental state to continue missions.
Marcella “Quandary” Jones: Exact age and family status unknown, although she has exhibited a close, almost motherly bond, with the Meridian sisters. As head agent of the ONI Oversight Division, Quandary’s job consists of sending spies to spy on other spies and as such, she’s as ruthless as she is generous, and as insightful as she is deceitful. Most importantly, however, she is extremely close with her team, taking great pains to get to know each of her agents on a personal level. She has complete faith in the capabilities of her agents, but when the situation calls for it, she’s fully capable of holding her own right beside them on the battlefield.
Gena Grey: 29 years old, orphaned with no siblings. Captain of the ONI Oversight Division’s one-of-a-kind command ship, Gena is something of a grumpy aunt to the team. She’s been with the division since before Quandary took charge, and still grumbles every now and then about the ‘good old days’ when the team had more members and a bigger budget.
Amelia Isabella Meridian: 23 years old, orphaned, older sister of Angeline. Better known as ‘Agent AIM’, most of her pre-ONI background is classified, but ever since joining the team at age 20, Amy has been the shining star of the Oversight Division, excelling in operations. That said, she’s still naïve and headstrong, with a preference for rolling solo, traits that have gotten her into more than her fair share of trouble over the years. Her involvement with Carlos Giuseppe has helped ground her, somewhat, with their equally brash attitudes helping them to keep each other in check during missions. Some have worried that her closeness with Carlos may be clouding her judgement somewhat, but those who know her better are all too happy to point out that she was reckless long before meeting Carlos.
Angeline Regina Meridian: 21 years old, orphaned, younger sister of Amelia. Better known as ‘Angi the engi’, she serves as the team’s chief engineer. Despite being too young for field work, she joined the team at the same time Amy did, which gave her several years to learn the ins and outs of the command ship, training under the previous chief engineer. During a space battle, a stray missile struck the engine compartment, killing the previous engineer, and badly wounding Angi. Despite losing part of her arm, and suffering burn scars to her face, she stuck with the team after she recovered, although she now rarely leaves the ship.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Strike Team Firebrand: After Jim Branson rose to prominence as a local hero, he was assigned command of a small strike team. This squad is often in a state of flux, with members being lost and replaced at a fairly regular basis. Despite this, Firebrand remains an organised, unified unit, loyal to the UNSC cause, and resolute in their ideals.
Jim Branson: 23 years old, son of the now-deceased General Bradford Branson. Formerly a private in the UNSC marines, where he was partnered with Carlos Giuseppe, Jim was appointed head of a specialised, independent task force dedicated to dealing with the surviving “Super Flood”. While he was known to be a bit of a clown during his time as a marine, he has become a lot more focused and attentive, leading his team with skill and precision in a number of successful operations. However, the loss of his father has had a severe impact on him, and only time will tell what the long-term consequences of this loss might be for Jim and his team. Although others put a lot of faith in him, he’s always felt that he’s out of his depth, now more than ever.
Anya Branson: 26 years old, daughter of Bradford Branson, and older sister to Jim. Anya is an overwhelmingly mediocre operative, scoring average marks during training, achieving satisfactory results in missions, and overall, not doing much except the bare minimum. Many of her superiors and teammates have attested that she has the potential to accomplish more than this, but it’s unclear what might motivate her to do so. Even after the death of her father, her behaviour has remained largely unchanged. Not even following the orders of her younger brother seems to bother her.
Marius Marks: 31 years old, family history unknown. Marius joined the UNSC at 18, working his way up the ranks, and serving as a front line sniper in the marine corps during the closing days of the Human-Covenant war. Eventually, he moved on to be trained as an ODST, and was assigned to Jim’s team shortly before the Necropolis incident. Unbeknownst to Jim, Marius was appointed to join the team by General Branson himself, with specific instructions to keep Jim safe. Even now that the General is dead, Marius has devoted himself to diligently following those orders.
CC Browning: Age and family history unknown. Little is known about this man’s background, save for his skill in combat, and fascination with brute tactics and tech. His Reach-era EVA armour is a testament to how long he’s been in service, and Jim is just another in a long line of commanders he’s served under over the years. He has no personal stake in the personal struggles that plague some of his teammates; to him, this is just another standard assignment.
Admiral Sabree: Age, family status, and general history are all unknown. Admiral Sabree is, in a word, a mystery. No records of him exist in UNSC databases or ONI archives. No one’s exactly sure who he is, when he got trained, or where he got his hands on a full, functioning suit of Spartan armour… nor does anyone know how he’s able to wear it. Despite his enigmatic status, his talent in battle is undeniable, and therefore his presence in Jim’s team has been reluctantly accepted by UNSC and ONI officials.
Bianca Vargas: 27, family records redacted. Bianca joined the UNSC through the science division, fascinated by alien technology and weapons. Eventually, though, she grew tired of her studies, and realised it was far more fun to disassemble aliens with their own guns. She joined the Spartan program late, leaving her with only the pink suit that no one else had wanted. She took that in stride, however, and remains an extremely efficient field operative.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Fireteam Cobalt: While they aren’t nearly as accomplished or as famous as the Master Chief’s own Blue Team, this squad is equally steadfast in its desire to do good, and represents a formidable force on any battlefield.
Rachel Tamara: 24 years old, familial history classified. Calm and capable leader of Gelida’s blue team, Rachel had served loyally in the UNSC for several years before she and her team were assigned to the ill-fated Necropolis mission on Gelida. It was there that she met Jim Branson, and after working together for a time, the two became romantically involved, although their duties as leaders of separate teams often keep them apart.
Mark Mason: 25 years old, familial history classified. He’s been Rachel’s best friend since long before they joined the UNSC, often thinking of her as younger sister in need of his protection, despite the fact that she’s just as capable a fighter as he is, and that she outranks him. He’s a bold combatant, preferring to take on enemies at close range with a BR or shotgun, and has been known to literally tackle larger targets like hunters and vehicles, in order to plant grenades on them.
Dereck Pharrell: 36 years old, no known family. A veteran of many battles, Pharrell was rendered mute by a battlefield injury many years ago. He’s unwaveringly obedient, and specialises in sidearms such as the SMG and magnum.
Kiki Silva: 24 years old, familial history classified. Rachel’s unofficial second in command, Silva is something of a lone wolf. As the team’s designated scout/sniper, she often breaks off from the main squad to sneak behind enemy lines, or find a better location to snipe from. That said, she’s proven herself fully capable of holding her own in a close quarters fight, wielding her kukri knife with ruthless competence.
Harold Helm: 34, orphaned, no siblings. One of the lesser-known members of the team, this flame marine is rarely sent out on missions – not because he’s bad at fighting, but because the team’s operations usually require a little more finesse than his flamethrower can offer. When he is taken out on missions, however, he proves his worth with fiery efficiency.
Melanie Zellner: 24 years old, familial history classified. Another of Rachel’s childhood friends, this Argus-armoured Spartan has modelled much of her tactics after her team leader. Like Rachel, she specialises in the use of the battle rifle, and Melanie often takes point alongside Rachel during combat operations.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Olive Squad: While they’re not the biggest team around, or the toughest, this team somehow always manages to wind up caught right in the middle of the action at just the right time. Unfortunately, this hasn’t always ended well for them, with two former members of their team having recently been killed in action. In spite of this, the team members who remain do their best to get by, and honour the memory of their fallen friends with every successful mission.
Spartan Z19: 28 years old, family connections unknown. Formerly a General, Z19 was placed in charge of the salvaged ‘Super Flood’ investigation on Gelida. After the specimens escaped, however, he was stripped of his position as General, and demoted to team leader of the rag-tag band of misfits that is Green Team. Although he harbours some resentment towards his superiors for this maltreatment, he has nonetheless embraced his new role.
Charlie Bucket: 23 years old, no records exist of his family or past. Charlie is the only remaining member of the original Green Team (alongside Roke77 and Zarry, both deceased), a fact that weighs on him constantly. After the death of Roke, he took some of his fallen friend’s weapons and armour, and helped hunt down Zarry. Now, he serves dutifully in his new team, honouring the memory of his fallen comrades.
DBMAN: Age, family, and history unknown. A defector from a defunct covenant cell, this elite took on the moniker DBMAN, and sided with the UNSC against his former comrades. He specialises in heavy weaponry, such as flamethrowers and Gatling guns.
Robowarrior: 28, no known relatives. Known more affectionately as Rob, this poor pilot is in way over his head, and he knows it. But this hasn’t stopped him from getting dragged along on all kind of crazy adventures. He generally uses the battle rifle, although he’s been known to use rocket launchers as well.
Corrivalis: An AI unit designed for strategic planning and tactical analysis. Manifests as a blue-hued hologram of a Reach-era Spartan.
__________________________________________________________________________________
UNSC: These characters are also affiliated with the UNSC, but aren’t part of any specific team.
Pilot Jerome: 26, unremarkable background. A simple civilian contractor on Gelida, he was forcibly conscripted into aiding the UNSC cause when the majority of their forces withdrew from the planet, leaving him as one of only two certified pilots on the surface. Suffice to say, his services were in high demand, and he’s not enjoying any of the attention.
Jason 397a: [Records Unavailable] One of the more enigmatic operatives on Gelida, no one is exactly sure what rank this soldier holds, which branch of the military he works for, or what it is that he actually does on the planet. However, it is an undeniable fact that he has a tendency to wind up right in the thick of things, just as those who work with him have a tendency to die tragically on the field of battle.
Commander Greer: 28 years old, no known family. Mason Greer is more than just a soldier, he’s a survivor. Against all odds, he’s walked away alive from every mission, even when dozens of his fellow ODST have met their end in his wake. He’s implacable, unstoppable, but he bears the weight of all those who have died so he can live. Burdened by this guilt, he prefers to only carry out solo missions, so he can avoid having to watch anyone else give their life on his behalf.
Agent Mako: 25, all other data classified. Although she holds a rank within ONI, and bears the moniker of Agent, the ODST known only as Mako is more of a free agent. She specialises in long-range assassinations, although she’s also talented in pistol combat for close-quarters encounters. Currently, she's assigned to work with the Oversight Division on Gelida, but was recently sent to Antares to aid Jim Branson and Commander Greer.
General Bradford Branson: [Deceased]. Father of Anya and Jim. Bradford first made his mark on the history books when he led the Vanguard movement during the Battle of Gorna Pass. After many adventures during the Human-Covenant war, Branson settled down and raised two children, both of whom followed in his footsteps and took up careers in the military. Eventually, with war looming again, he acquiesced to the demands of his old friends, and returned to the fold. When he learned his son was in trouble, he set out personally to help him, a decision that eventually cost him his life, when his former friend Lucio Giuseppe quite literally stabbed him in the back. He is missed by many.
Rodrik Branson: [Deceased]. Younger brother of Bradford. Rodrik, as far as anyone can tell, has no official rank or affiliation with ONI or the UNSC. Unofficially, however, he’s a man of immense influence and intelligence. He fought alongside his brother during the Battle of Gorna Pass, and has worked closely with many other powerful figures since then. Although he’s now at an age when he really shouldn’t be doing field work, he looks far younger than he is, thanks to numerous experimental surgeries. With his brother gone, he is intent on protecting what little family he has left: Anya and Jim. He met his end shortly after the fall of Talon Sigma, at the hands of Zaal ‘Varim.
Jeremy Miles: [Classified] An accomplished soldier with an extensive record, General Miles is the current commanding officer of the strategic outpost Sigma Talon on Antares Prime, tasked with defending the base and overseeing all local operations. While he presents himself with a jovial demeanour, his psychological profile presents a man lacking in empathy; troops under his command have casualty rates far higher than most of his peers, and he exhibits no guilt or remorse for the lives lost under his ‘guidance’.
Joe Filmes: [Classified] General Miles’ second in command, this Spartan has little in the way of conscience or ambition, preferring to simply follow the orders of his commander. He wields an energy sword with practiced skill, and has a cybernetic arm.
Commander ‘Knightstalker’: 28, background unknown. The imperious, regimented commander of the forces stationed at Sigma Talon, this man is wholly devoted to following orders, adhering to the chain of command without question or hesitation. He has nothing but disdain for those who try to think outside the box, or find ‘a better way’ to deal with an issue in defiance of their existing orders.
Captain Lisha Thorne: 25, unremarkable background. A prominent figure among the UNSC personnel stationed at Talon Sigma, Captain Thorne is a practical, quick-thinking commander, who values the lives of those under her command above any other priority. She was assigned to the outpost primarily to help balance out the more inflexible, uncaring preferences of General Miles.
Jaida Hadley: Age 31. Both of Jaida’s parents served in the UNSC during the first human-Covenant war… and neither of them survived it, leaving her with an overwhelming desire to prove her worth and live up to their sacrifice. Jaida serves as captain of the Cobalt Dawn, making her little more than a glorified chauffeur for Greer.
Sidney Delphine: 34, family history unknown. This cybernetically-enhanced Sergeant is Captain Hadley’s right hand, serving her loyally.
Bal ‘Narom: Having lost several of his family members to the follies of the Covenant, this young elite chose to remain on Earth after the end of the first human-Covenant war, rather than return to Sanghelios. He was effectively ‘adopted’ by the UNSC, where he formed many friendships with soldiers and Spartans.
Zel ‘Camor: Zel’s clan were loyal to the Covenant cause until the very end, driving them to the verge of extinction, with only two survivors – two daughters, opposite as day and night, save for their equal disdain for Sangheili society. The younger of these two sisters, Zel wandered for many months, searching for meaning and purpose, before eventually finding her way back to her childhood friend, Bal. She doesn’t share his faith and friendship towards humanity, feeling uncomfortable in the company of the UNSC, but she is wholly loyal to Bal.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Insurrectionists: residents of human colonies who have openly rebelled against the rule of Earth and the UNSC.
Davis ‘Manticore’ Mangrove: 46, family deceased. Leader of the so-called ‘Hybrid cell’ on the planet of Sliver Septum, this disgruntled UNSC veteran lost part of his arm during a battle with the Covenant. He was given a cheap prosthetic, a paltry severance payment, and discarded by the UNSC on a medical discharge. Embittered, he returned home, stewing in his discontent. When the war ended, he gathered up a group of other ex-military operators and struck out against his former employees, blowing up a UNSC compound while its soldiers were out on parade commemorating the end of the war. Though no one was hurt in the attack, the act didn’t sit well with one particular local, who had only very recently retired from UNSC life: Bradford Branson. Bradford donned his armour for what he’d intended to be the last time, and lead the local UNSC in flushing out Manticore and his collaborators. Manticore was originally believed to have been killed in the ensuing battle, but rumours abound that he went into hiding, gathering more supporters for something big.
Carl ‘Chimera’ Kendrick: 28, no familial connections of note. One of Manticore’s staunchest lieutenants, Chimera is a master strategist and marksman who favours a DMR.
Harriet ‘Harpy’ Harper: 27, family deceased. One of Manticore’s more recent recruits, Harpy lost her husband and two children to a roving band of Covenant Remnant, who the UNSC had been ‘too busy’ to deal with. Unlike most of the other ‘Hybrids’, who use salvaged UNSC tech, she wields dual needlers she took from the Covenant who killed her family.
Steven ‘Sphinx’ Henson: formerly a police officer on Earth, Sphinx turned his back on the UNSC after their profound failure to protect the Earth during the human-Covenant war. He still wears his police-issue body armour, and wields a battle rifle.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Denizens: The twisted, tormented inhabitants of The Timeless Plains.
Oracle: [Deceased] One of oldest inhabitants of the Plains, the being known only as Oracle sees himself as a bringer of truth, one whose word is law. He makes it his task to mandate these laws to all those who arrive in the Timeless Plains. In doing so, he believes he is preserving the status quo, when in truth all he is doing is perpetuating a cycle of brutality and ceaseless violence. Although he believes the Timeless Plains were always a realm of war and madness, and there is nothing that can be done to change that, the sad truth is that it was he who made it this way, and he who is keeping it that way. Although he managed to maintain shaky alliances with other inhabitants of the Plains, he was eventually betrayed and killed by Tivus.
Wayfinder: The being calling himself Wayfinder arrived in the Plains at the same time Oracle did, and the pair have worked together ever since. Over time, their memories of home, family, and identity faded to nothing, until all they had left were the titles and purposes they had created for themselves. The Wayfinder makes it his task to roam the Plains, and rescue new arrivals, so that they can be brought to the Oracle to be ‘educated’. After having a falling-out with his former friend, Wayfinder struck off on his own.
Tivus: One of the most prolific Warlords to prowl the Plains, Tivus is as charismatic as he is cruel, and will devote all of his resources to destroying anyone who irks him in even the slightest way. He has little regard for the lives of his men, and cares even less about the lives of anyone else. Although he’s perfectly adept with guns, his preferred weapon of choice is a coil of chain with a hook on the end, which he can use to grapple or mutilate enemies.
Felix: Second in command to Tivus, Felix is far less human than he appears, and is something of a cockroach (metaphorically speaking) – through skill and cunning, or just dumb luck, he always manages to weasel his way out of every situation.
__________________________________________________________________________________
ATLAS-N: Originally from another universe entirely, this branch of ATLAS were sent forward in time, and sideways through dimensions, when their version of Project VORTEX was damaged. The group ultimately split, with half teaming up with Lucio Giuseppe to pursue a means to return to their home universe, and the other half striking off on their own.
Commander: Modelled on Nato from the original Project VORTEX series, though not explicitly referred to by name, the Commander is an unwaveringly loyal, determined man, willing to do whatever it takes to protect his men. Alas, his brutal ‘means justify the ends’ approach to problems make his motives appear far more villainous than he’d wish.
Corsic: Corsic was one of the many members of ATLAS-N who sided with the Commander, but was separated from the group before they were banished to the Timeless Plains. He’s been working towards his own goals ever since, forging alliances with the Banished and the Harvesters… although his intended endgame remains unclear.
Cassian: The self-proclaimed leader of the ATLAS-N cell that struck off on their own, Cassian is a pretentious, petty man who always prioritises his own selfish needs over the wellbeing of those under his command. Although this has led to more than few conflicts with his followers, his skill in combat has allowed him to retain his position of power.
Cromwell: The roguish assassin of the ATLAS-N splinter group, he used to be a close friend of Corsic, and while he doesn’t particularly like Cassian, he relishes in any opportunity to ply his personal trade of taking lives – and Cassian provides him with plenty of opportunities to do exactly that.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Loyalists: At the time of the battle of Antares, most of the disparate factions of alien races have been united under the rule of Rocar Enpara, who seeks to consolidate them into a new Covenant order… and destroy humanity along the way. The characters below are those who are wholly loyal to him and his cause.
Argustus (AKA Ripper): This high-ranking jiralhanae general has a rather bizarre concept of honour – he rarely uses guns, instead preferring to dispatch his enemies in melee combat. How he’s survived this long employing that strategy is anyone’s guess (although the Hunter he keeps as a personal bodyguard might have something to do with it). Despite his strange approach to one on one battles, ‘Ripper’ is nonetheless a cunning commander, possessed of a tactical intelligence far above that of the average brute.
Monolith: The Hunter who serves as Argustus’ personal bodyguard/muscle, little is known about this being’s history or origins. Its counterpart is believed to be deceased, and it seems to have adopted Argustus as its new bonded partner, although its deference to him suggests that it may also owe him a debt of some kind.
Mortem ‘Evollo: Devoutly loyal to Rocar, Mortem is a callous, cunning commander. He sees those under his command as largely disposable – in his view, if his troops fall in battle, then they were too weak to survive anyway, and are therefore unimportant. Mortem himself is a force to be reckoned with, with or without a squad by his side. He prefers to fight up close, wielding a modified energy sword, and his armour has been augmented so that his energy shields don’t simply deflect attacks, but absorb their kinetic energy, gradually boosting his own strength, or allowing him to unleash that built-up energy in a singular pulse.
Qolum ‘Thira: Hailing from a distant Sangheili colony system, Qolum’s home planet had significantly greater size and gravity than most others inhabited by his species, its colonists gradually evolving to become bigger and stronger over several generations. Compared to the average Sangheili, Qolum is a *** being, noticeably taller and bulkier, with hardened leathery skin, and a savagery in battle more akin to that of a Jiralhanae. While he’s capable of using firearms, and carries an energy sword, he prefers to fight his battles using brute strength and barbarity. He, like his compatriot Mortem, is one of Rocar’s prominent commanders.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Banished: Beholden to the rule and Will of Atriox, this brute-led faction split off from, and outlived, the original Covenant Empire. Having consolidated their power of the intervening years, the Banished have since set their sights on The Ark, although they have diverted some of their resources to assisting Rocar’s cause.
Grarl (AKA Fletch): One of Atriox’s trusted lieutenants within the ranks of the Banished, Fletch is an accomplished combat pilot, and one of the few brutes to hold the title of Shipmaster. He has little interest in gore or battle, preferring to annihilate his enemies from a distance from the comfort of his ship, or at range with his bow. However, like many brutes, he still enjoys the thrill of the hunt.
Sevv ‘Helyr (AKA Savage): An elite who serves as Fletch’s lieutenant, ‘Savage’ has thoroughly earned his moniker. Brandishing a concussion rifle and menacing assortment of blades and spikes, Sevv prides himself on inflicting maximum suffering.
Bliizar (AKA Yeti): A ranking Banished commander, Bliizar specialises in operating on snowy terrain, leading small guerrilla units on hit-and-run missions. Unlike some among his species, he’s amiable with beings of other races, believing that far-reaching alliances with unlikely allies will ultimately be the key to victory for those he serves. He has close ties with the Harvesters, and is a confidante of Corsic.
Shipmistress Fey: Eager to prove herself every bit as capable as the males of her species, Fey is extremely merciless in engagements, whether they be on the surface or in space. She has no regard for combat etiquette, accepts no surrenders, and refuses to respect ceasefires. The only victory conditions she’ll accept is the retreat or defeat of her enemies.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Dark Grasp: Devoted to immoral scientific endeavours and exploitation of the ancient magics of the universe, this offshoot has steadily been growing in prominence within the ranks of Rocar Enpara’s army. Led by (and named for) the Blackhand, this faction has thus far remained loyal to Rocar’s cause, but only time will tell if his vision will be enough to sate the cabal’s hunger for power.
Varn ‘Doram, (AKA, The Blackhand): Once a low-ranking lieutenant among the other elites, Varn has clawed his way to prominence. He’s said to be one of the most skilled snipers to ever emerge from the ranks of the Covenant, and is a talented pilot, in addition to his knack for surviving situations that would spell the end for lesser beings. Many years ago, he briefly crossed paths with Bradford Branson, during which he acquired the injury that earned him the nickname he now wears with pride: The Blackhand. He now serves as recruiter of sorts, gathering former Covenant leaders from across the galaxy together under one banner. Despite his prominent position in the united Covenant armies, his unbridled ambition still remains unsatisfied, manifesting as a desire to conquer the supernatural powers of the galaxy, and bend them to his will.
Cath ‘Camor: Loyal to the Covenant cause until the very end, the Camor clan’s faith brought them to the verge of extinction, with only two survivors – two daughters, opposite as day and night, save for their equal disdain for Sangheili society. The older of these two sisters, Cath wandered for many years, searching for belonging and purpose… until she was found by Varn. Equal in intellect and ambition, the pair were destined to become rivals and partners in equal measure, their competitiveness driving them to attain new heights, together and apart. Inevitably, their closeness blossomed into a romantic relationship, and although some may argue that this is a weakness that could be used against them, they vocally, violently disagree.
Bralgore (AKA Crimson): This brute chieftain values the simple things in life, believing the ability to take the life of another is the greatest power any being can hold. He has no interest in complex strategies or intricate machinations, and though he won’t even pretend to comprehend any of the sciences or magics his companions have been experimenting with, he understands all too well how much more powerful these experiments could make him, and is content to serve as the Dark Grasp’s muscle in exchange for a share of that power.
Yhil ‘Gzared (AKA, Patches): A scientist whose body is more metal than flesh at this point, ‘Patches’ has always served his own interests above all else. He specialises in genetic manipulation, and was the lead mind behind Zaal’s original Super Flood experiments.
Zaal ‘Varim: Some might call Zaal unlucky. This would be an understatement. Once a proud, powerful General in the Covenant army, he remained loyal to the prophet’s cause even after the hierarchs betrayed his people. He eagerly joined Jul Mdama’s Covenant Remnant, and managed to salvage a significant number of troops and equipment after Jul’s demise. But once he made his way to Gelida, things went from bad to worse, with the loss of many of his followers, including his son. However, for every failure and misfortune the universe has thrown his way, his strength and ferocity have only grown.
__________________________________________________________________________________
The Harvesters: Born from the ashes of the fallen Covenant empire, the Harvesters are a faction unlike any other. They follow no faith, and adhere to no ideology. They pride themselves solely on their prowess in battle, and their ability to take what they please from those less powerful than themselves.
Ormentus: Like all brutes, Ormentus is immensely strong and savage, but he possesses an intellectual capacity beyond that of most of his kind. He’s as cunning as he is ferocious, armed with a keen intellect and a chillingly charismatic demeanour. He wields rumour and reputation as effectively as he wields his gravity mace, and is proficient in intimidation tactics and psychological warfare.
Ezkos: This cyborg brute is rarely seen far from Ormentus’ side. He serves as something of a mix between enforcer and executioner, punishing those who fail in their duties, and eliminating those who draw Ormentus’ ire.
Spindle: Ormentus’ most trusted lieutenant, Spindle prefers to do most of his work solo, and is often sent on infiltration or assassination missions, rather than leading troops.
Scythe: A Covenant Remnant commander that Spindle was once sent to assassinate, this elite proved able to match his attacker blow for blow, the arrival of reinforcements eventually forcing Spindle to retreat. Months later, following the death of Jul ‘Mdama and the dissolution of the Covenant Remnant, the elite who would come to adopt the name ‘Scythe’ approached the Harvesters, where Spindle vouched for his recruitment, eventually taking Scythe on as his second in command.
Beyl & Vren ‘Franar: Spindle’s most trusted assassins, these black-armoured brothers employ different methods, but are equally deadly. Beyl is adept with bladed weapons, but is just as dangerous while fighting unarmed, thanks to the crushing strength afforded by his mechanical prosthetic legs. Vren, by contrast, is a skilled marksman, capable of utilising almost any conventional firearm with unerring accuracy.
Vil & Grek ‘Virrok: These two elites have earned their place in Ormentus’ inner circle in different ways. The younger, Vil, is a capable tactician, whereas his brother Grek is mindlessly vicious, known for carving ragged swathes of desolation through enemy forces. Working together, the duo are a force to be reckoned with. [Power Levels: 40]
Snyvel: A conniving, feral fighter with no qualms about employing underhanded tactics, this jackal prides himself on his unpredictability. Small and fast, he usually serves as a scout, leading small hit-and-run squads to harass enemy patrols and supply lines.
Ziikl: Cast out from her hive society for daring to question the command of her queen, this ‘unmutual’ drone found her way to the Harvesters, and worked long and hard to earn her high rank among them.
Sliv ‘Ergol: A recent recruit to the Harvester ranks, this crimson-armoured elite is eager to prove himself, and wields dual blades with ruthless delight. After Corsic offered to ally himself with the Harvesters, Sliv was tasked with assisting him in his efforts.
Tel ‘Yargol: This elite isn’t a soldier, or a strategist. He’s a warrior, savage and scarred, serving as little more than Ormentus’ personal attack dog. When Ormentus or one of his lieutenants wishes to test the strength of a new recruit, it’s Tel that they will face.
The Leviathan: Whereas most Hunters adopt a more humanoid form, this amalgamative monster has chosen to take on a serpentine shape, not dissimilar to the worm creatures from which its body is composed. Encased in reinforced armour, and armed with a fuel rod cannon, Leviathan is the Harvesters’ ultimate living weapon.
Minos: The oldest of Ormentus’ living children, Minos has also proven to be the most disappointing. Burly and belligerent, his defining trait is his unimaginative simple-mindedness. He lacks the mental fortitude to conceive plans or strategies, preferring to simply crush all that stand in his path. As such, his father rarely allows him off the ship, keeping him busy by placing him in charge of the slave pens and the arena.
Asidios: The middle child of Ormentus’ brood, Asidios inherited too much cunning, and not enough common sense. Constantly conniving for ways to overthrow his father and seize control of the Harvesters for himself (with a distinct lack of success thus far), he has become a persistent, but minor, annoyance. While he’s a proven warrior, his tactics are cowardly. and his friends are few.
Artemys: The youngest of Ormentus’ known children, Artemys was born premature, leaving her small, pale, and fragile. Many assumed Ormentus would simply let her die, but he proved more merciful than many had imagined, devoting every resource at hand to ensure his child’s survival. The choice, while controversial at the time, proved worthwhile, as Artemys grew over the years in size, strength, and smarts, becoming the perfect protégé to her father’s legacy, able to match both wits and weapons with the toughest of Ormentus’ lieutenants. Much to the chagrin of her siblings, she swiftly claimed her place as her father’s favourite child, and, perhaps someday, his eventual successor as leader of the Harvesters.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Other: Unaffiliated characters with no loyalty or allegiance, these guys tend to work for the highest bidder, whoever they think is going to win, or themselves. Some are evil, some are good, and some are… something else entirely.
‘Relict’: [Deceased]. Once a leading researcher in a classified scientific initiative within ONI, the man now known only as Relict was involved in a great many experiments. However, his ultimate ambition was to unlock the secret of human immortality, a goal he pursued relentlessly. After his wife died before he could complete his research, he went mad with grief, unleashing his experiments and destroying the lab, before gathering a team of mercenaries and fleeing to Gelida, where he used the unique biology of the ‘Super-Flood’ to synthesise a new immortality serum. He was successful, but much of his research was later destroyed, and he was eventually killed for good by Carlos Giuseppe.
Seth Blight: 31 years old, younger brother of Daren. Some men just refuse to give up, no matter how dire the circumstances they find themselves facing. Seth Blight is one such man. Even after being stabbed in the neck and left for dead, he found a way to survive. When ONI and the UNSC tried to hold him responsible for the entire Gelida Crisis, he found a way to escape the charges. What Blight wants, more than anything else, is recognition and respect, and he’s willing to go to extreme lengths to get it.
Costello Pierce: [Deceased] 34, older brother of Desmond. Formerly a member of Jim Branson’s team, he was bribed to work for Relict and his cabal. He had an adversarial relationship with Jim, a rivalry that came to an end when Jim killed him. He was recently returned to life by the efforts of his brother, but the process seems to have had a detrimental impact on his psychological state.
Desmond Pierce: 28, younger brother of Costello. Desmond was an obedient, unremarkable, rank-and-file Spartan… until he learned of his brother’s death. He went rogue, and made his way to Gelida. After allying himself briefly with Lilian Shade, he acquired the remaining vestiges of Relict’s immortality serum, and used them to resurrect his sibling.
Julien Vex: Vex’s true age, family, and history is a mystery unto itself. Given how long he and his band of mercenaries have been in operation, the prevailing theory is that the name ‘Julien Vex’ is a title that has been worn by numerous mercs over the years, each one taking advantage of the legend that the others have left behind. The current incarnation of Vex has maintained a lower profile than his predecessors – the true extent of his manpower and resources are unknown, and he’s diverged significantly from the pattern of his forbears by accepting jobs on the behalf of ONI and the UNSC as well.
Jazmine: The daughter of the current ‘Julien Vex’, little is known about this young woman beyond her first name. Youthful and carefree, she at some point learned about her father’s true profession, and journeyed to Antares to confront him about it. It’s believed that she’s had some manner of military training, due to her proficiency in battle.
Ilyn Freeman: 41, no familial connections of note. Formerly enlisted in the UNSC as a frontline sniper, Corporal Freeman was released from service after a mission gone wrong, where the squad he was supporting were entirely wiped out. Although Ilyn was cleared of any wrongdoing, he requested a medical discharge, citing psychological trauma. Evidently, he had difficulty adjusting back to civilian life, because he soon began making a name for himself as a gun for hire, eventually falling in with Julien Vex.
Matthew Shade: [Deceased] 29, younger brother of Raymond, older brother of Lilian. A greedy, childish, over-ambitious officer stationed on Gelida, he started working with local criminal elements on an elaborate plan to conquer the planet. He plotted and carried out the murders of several UNSC officers to quickly ascend the chain of command, and started using his squad of marines for less-than-legal operations. In the end, his schemes were ruined by Jim Branson and Carlos Giuseppe, who brought his life to an explosive end.
Raymond Shade: 32, older brother of Matthew and Lilian. Shade has developed something of an obsession with Jim Branson and Carlos Giuseppe. At first, he claimed he only wanted revenge for their killing of his brother, but the connection clearly runs deeper than that. He has proven himself as tenacious as he is resourceful, coming back from dozens of defeats that would have deterred or killed a lesser man. His true motives and goals – if he even has any – are as clear as mud. Perhaps he realises just how important the pair are… and wants to be part of that importance… or maybe he just loves sowing chaos.
Lilian Shade: 24, younger sister of Raymond and Matthew. The youngest of the Shade siblings, Lilian enlisted to join the UNSC, and quickly rose to prominence as an elite soldier. After Matthew’s death, she became bitter, and while she wanted revenge on those who had taken her brother away from her, she trusted that her oldest sibling, Raymond, would be able to accomplish that task on her behalf. But after months of waiting, not only were Jim Branson and Carlos Giuseppe still alive, they were now considered heroes of the UNSC. With Raymond missing in action, Lilian set out to find her own vengeance.
Super-Flood Alpha: The first, and most powerful, of the Super-Flood on Gelida, this creature is the monster that started it all. It was the first foe that Jim and Carlos ever faced during their adventures, and its persistent refusal to die continues to haunt them.
Mr Doyle: Formerly known as Braggart T. Doyle, this man was once a privateer for the royal navy during the golden age of Pyrates. After being exposed to the remains of a broken High Elven time scrying device, he was cursed with an extended lifespan, and visions of the future. For centuries, he languished on Earth, unable to do anything to prevent the future he saw, but once the means became available for him to leave the planet – and later, travel to other dimensions entirely – he began working on a plan to change fate.
Carlos Giuseppe: 28 years old, son of Lucio and Emilia, younger brother of Marco – also has a younger half-sister, Sofia. He was formerly a private in the UNSC marines, until he resigned from military service and went rogue. He resurfaced after the death of his mother, and was eventually recruited into the ONI Oversight Division, where he was partnered with Agent Meridian. During the battle of Antares, many of his friends were killed, including Jim and Amy, which pushed his already-unstable psyche over the edge. He went mad with rage and grief, and was ultimately incarcerated for his own safety, and that of others. He languished in prison for many years, before vanishing from his cell, somehow winding up in the Timeless Plains, where he subsequently infiltrated the Mega-Verse, stranding that dimension’s version of Carlos in the Plains in his place.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Dragons: Ancient, paradoxical beings hailing from an era that predates the concepts of time and existence, these creatures are as powerful as they are ancient, many of them bearing titles that reflect their power or accomplishments. Eons ago, a group that came to be called the ‘Corrupted’ ravaged the multiverse, conquering and destroying as they pleased, laying waste to stars and civilisations. Others, who dubbed themselves ‘Enlightened’, stood against the savagery of their kin. Eventually, the Dragon race succumbed to a mass extinction, leaving only a few survivors, who scattered across the cosmos, retreating into the lower levels of reality, where their descendants were twisted and warped by the rigours of infinity.
Rutilus – the Illustrious Hound: with skin of crimson and armour of gold, this beast straddles the borderline dividing savagery and resplendence. Though he carries himself with an air of confidence and regality, he is little more than a glorified bloodhound, only his keen tracking skills elevating him above the rest of the low-ranking dregs of dragon-kind.
Heliostrafe – the Sorrowless Sunslayer: one of the most renowned warriors among the dragons of old, Heliostrafe is equal parts ferocious and intelligent. She bears the ability to drain the heat and light from external sources to augment her own emerald flames, a power that she has used to extinguish suns and bathe planets in annihilation.
Terager – the Living Blade: a soldier adept in savagery, Terager’s scales are edged in metal, partially armouring him from attack… and turning his wings into deadly scythes.
Glaryu – the Unrelenting Avalanche: a stocky, muscular beast, this frost-spitting dragon is possessed of immense strength and durability. He is somewhat lacking in intellect or ambition, seeming content to endure his existence as a living battering ram.
Trefalkyr – the Maker of Gates: though large and imposing, this dragon chose not to rampage across the galaxy or wage war against those who did. He chose the life of a labourer and architect, designing and constructing shelters, fortresses, and prisons for his fellow dragons.
Sether – the Crippled Commander: Once a military leader among the ranks of the Enlightened, Sether was wounded in a fierce battle, desiccating her right arm, and leaving her in constant agony. No longer able to lead or to fight, she went into exile, hiding himself away in the place that would come to be known as the Timeless Plains.
Scauld – the Noble Matron: in any kind of conflict, innocents are inevitably caught in the crossfire. When the Corrupted and Enlightened battled, there were some on both sides who thought about destroy the young of their enemies, to prevent them from recruiting more hatchlings to their cause. Scauld, a neutral party in the conflict, devoted herself to the protection of these innocent, defenceless eggs and hatchlings, on both sides. In the time since the end of the war, she has retreated into hiding, fiercely protecting a cache of hibernating eggs whose parents never returned from battle.
Brimer – the Searer of Souls: touting himself as something of a torturer, Brimer’s flames are unique in that they can only burn that which is intangible – thoughts, memories, emotions – while leaving objects and being physically unharmed. Over time, he has grown quite skilled in the exploitation of this ability, meticulously disassembling the psyches of his victims, or simply incinerating their very souls.

Verdant: Verdant is a strategic Controller in the same vain as General Roland Lougin. Verdant commands a lower status unite by appearance when in actuality he leads an elite team of specialists tasked with recovery of ancient artifacts and interrogation of high value targets and personal. What is known about Verdant is that he is a brutally efficient killer, working in perfect tandem with his squad. Most do not know his actual rank and will easily mistake him and his team for a typical ONI deep cover recover squad. Wile his squads actual identification is Vesper the squad uses multiple alternative callsigns when in the field along with Verdant himself most of the time using other identifying callsigns besides his actual. Only when working with other ONI agents do they let up the guise. Verdant is not to be trusted, since any ONI deep cover squad could be them you should remain vigilant when in the presence of one of there teams.

Strike Team Pargo: A black Operations squad. They have been seen at multiple points of interest for ONI and for the most part tend to be a royal pain in the ***. The team are all extremely hard to kill putting into perspective just how strong Black Operations solders really are. For the most part they run operations behind enemy lines and undercover ops within friendly territory.
Commander Eliana: Not much to say about Commander Eliana and her team except that they are a pain. Her team has predominantly appeared in operations involving Atlas however I fear they might be refocused on Oversight given the current ploy. This many ONI operatives in one spot just gives me bad vibes. Regardless of what happens we need to remain ever vigilant. It would be wise to gather intel on the rest of this team. If word of mouth is correct the rouge enigma Shade was once one of these guys.

Covenant: The former empire built of a obscene religion. Many now believe it was simply a ruse to control the galaxy built on lies and deceit.
Rocar Enpara: A Former covenant military leader touched by the visions of the wayward stars. Rocar participated in the original Battle of Gorna pass, after the war he wandered the galaxy looking for answers, a purpose. For the longest time he believed there was non. One day he saw the world for what it really was, that day he awoke. Now he has built an army from ash and plans to lay siege to the universe all to further his hidden agenda.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) : Progressive. 30-100 as the need for strength comes.
Arbiter Zep: Zep was the next arbiter to rise after Thel to establish the new Sangeili order. Alas Zep was more of a fanatic to the old religion. Turning his back on Thel and forsaking the Swords of Sangelios. Zep joined up with Rocar during its early formation and was gifted with the original Arbiter armor. Zep started his task by reuniting multiple covenant splinter cells. He was then tasked with rising the temples of Cygna to further along there planes. Where he is now is anyone's guess but he was last spotted on Cygna.

Deathseeker Nercazd: A eliteous and Zealot to the new order Nercazd is in charge of an elite group of rangers tasked with hunting down and eliminating UNSC targets of opportunity. His name and annotation comes from the splinter cell he formed after the fall of the covenant. The Deathseeker's themselves were notorious for murdering important high ranking personnel, build up a ruthless and blood thirsty reputation all the wile almost impossible to track.
Appearance:

Korvla: Not much is known about Korvla. What little we do know is that he was a member of the higher order within the covenant before it fell. After its collapse he was wanted dead by almost everyone covenant or not. His resurgence now is a discerning matter. To what extent he has returned we do not know.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Nal-Daldric: A ruthless and abnormally aggressive Sangeili Nal was but a minor when the end of the Human-Covenant war came along. Much like many other former Covenant after the government collapsed they dispersed from the main forces and struck out on his own. High jacking a UNSC cruiser originally he stuck to raiding small convoys. As his confidence grew so did his desire for conquest. For a time he worked under a ship-master by the name of Wotr ‘Ndashin, until he over threw the ship master and left him to die on a back hand world. This is how he claimed the Vallacon for himself. The following years many would join him, some would go on to accomplish great things on there own, many would die. Meanwhile Nal built his reputation up as a ruthless and blood thirsty monster. To see the Vallacon was a death sentence. The UNSC at this time are unsure as to how Rocar managed to convince Nal to join forces with him. Perhaps it was just the chance to spread mass chaos, or maybe he offered him something. We may never find out however.
Appearance:

Zhix: Under most circumstances it is widely considered unusual to see a jackal hold any rank of substance. Yet however Zhix is no regular jackal. Zhix was born a few years before the Human-Covenant war came to an end, 2546 to be exact . She Belongs to the almost extinct sub-species of jackals that we refereed to as the storm variant. Not much is know about her child hood as is with Kig-Yar. Joining the covenant remnant at a incredulously young age, probably due to the disorganization of the Remnants. It was clear at least to ONI the awkwardness of this particular specimen meant something. Presumably she felt underappreciated, as with all jackals she was thrown in some forgettable role to die as mass fodder. Her retaliation was to steal a notorious Covenant warship, the Sither. As it stands now, most ONI operatives agree they should have assassinated her when they had the chance. Under her control the Sither went from a minor annoyance to a tactical nightmare. Equipped with extremely powerful long range beam emitters, it was now a force to be reckoned with for sure. But under most cases a Glass cannon like it doesn't last long. Zhix has implored some of the most bazar and estranged tactics we have ever had the displeasure of recording which has lead to its annotation. The Dastardly Sither. All things considered however most Jiralhanae and Sangheili still don't take her seriously which is a huge relief for us. Its no surprise the ship made an appearance at Antares though, Zhix is just as enigmatic as Rocar, if not more so.

Cyua-Alkeric: The Ship master of the Iykeune. not much is known about this Sangeili, accept for her apparent affiliation wither it be former or concurrent with Nal-Daldric and his Vallacon which is hard to say. Unlike some of the other notable commanders in this database, Cyua was never part or the old Covenant of the Remnants. Seemingly presumed to be part of some sub branch of Sangeili that somehow escaped servitude with the prophets. What ever the case may be, Cyua is in possession of an ancient vessel. ONI believes it to be elvish in some regard, perhaps something else. Where not entirely sure. She is very punctuated, precise. Preferring to eliminate her targets and nothing more, in starch contrast to the aforementioned. We wish we had more on her but at this time information is hard to come by. It is however safe to assume the Iykeune will be in the Antares system alongside the Vallacon.

Banished: The Brutes who said NO to the covenant and revolted.
Atriox: He who needs no introduction. A beastly brute, and for his race surprisingly brilliant tactician. Atriox has always been somewhat of a loose cannon. He built the banished on the backs of the Remnants and by now has overtaken them in both support, coordination, and power. The only thing he dose lack is a was structured leadership. As it stands if Atriox were to fall so would the banished.
Appearance:

The Will of Atriox: The enigmatic will of Atriox. Theses' shades of Atriox carry out his plans throughout the Galaxy regardless of his presence or not. They are extremely powerful and dangerous meaning they should only be engaged under specific circumstances.

Nadar: A Rouge brute charged with gaining entrance to the first temple on Cygna Prime. She succeeded in opening a doorway but not to the first temple. Instead somewhere else. She was defeated during a rescue mission and rendered unconscious. ONI took her into custody for interrogation. Her survival is presumably irrelevant. However ONI and SOC both want to know exactly why she was on Cygna and what Atriox wants with the planet.
Appearance:

Ship Master Runik Erahel: A brutish beast who was at the for front of Atriox's rebellion. He was a recruiter of sorts gathering allies and vessels to expand the Banished's space superiority. Like most brutes he is hulking and huge, enormously strong and capable of dealing massive blows. Yet Erahel prefers to use a small dagger for his weapon. Cutting down his foes with elongated precision proving that bigger isn't always better.

The Evolutionary Flood: Not to be mistaken for the super flood born of the old Covenant and ONI's twisted experiments. These monstrosities originate from a new type of Grave Mind. These flood are far different from the forms we had encountered before and unbelievably we have managed to form a sort of peace between us and them.
The Inibitinary Mind: An arid abomination created millennia ago dating the initial formation of the flood hive mind consensus. The Mind was created as a subject to extract the more viable survival traits from other life forms. This simple form eventually accrued a sentient consciousness and openly opposed the consensus, dooming its own survival as innately flawed due to there reliance on other sentient creatures to survive. It was absorbed the by hive mind, recreated by the grave mind before its destruction and sent into the galaxy towards something of innate interest.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Primary: The first of the new flood forms under the Inibitinary Mind to accrue a form of sentient consciousness. This massive flood tank was created using bio organic components grown and harvested from a flesh wall created in the hive. This flood form takes up the role of second in command and is the one entrusted to lead the evolutionary flood and evolve if need be.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Secondary: Another of the Bazar blood forms. This form regrettably uses the host body of an unfortunate marine. Secondary achieved sentience through the rather un-natural way of symbiosis. Bounding with natural organic components and planet matter to from a sort of micro consensus mind of its own.

There agenda is almost completely unknown and there presence on the planet makes little sense considering the mounting hostiles there. We are investigating them but as far as we can tell there is little to no information available on them at this time.
The Unknown solder: Assumed to be the leader of this group, nothing is known about this Spartan or how he came to be armed with his armor. In the same vain it can be said for the entire organization.

Mercenaries:
Max Oswald: Brother of Tela Oswald, Max became the leader of a small mercenary band operating on Antares Prime after the Covenant war came to an end. Even though the planet has a large UNSC presence it for the most part was an easy operation until the war hit planet side. Max has since teamed up with Lucio Guiseppie and Atlas-E in an attempt to rescue Bradfron and stop the rise of a horrid monstrosity.

General Juluious: Supreme leaded and Commander of the Alliance and all who journeyed to the past aboard the seeder world of Athecia. Juluious is a hard and righteous man, A natural leader and commander who has earned the respect and following of his peers. He was a devoted Commander and lead the Alliance through the Storm Campaign. When the war aginsted the Ancient Dragons and the Phantoms of the Mist came to an end Juluious ordered the mass extinction of the Dragon race to ensure they could never rain terror on reality again.

Captain Kato: Commander of Bavilion squadron Kato commanded the airs bringing to bear the Alliances heavy air craft in there war aginsted the dragons. Resounded as a brilliant tactician and commander, but not without his faults. Kato was gradually swayed from the Alliance during the storm campaign. Deeming there methods of eradication to extreme. Kato lamented rebellion aginsted the Alliance, which evidently lead to the massacre of Adonai, resulting in Commander Karliaiel's death. Kato and the few that followed him fled. During the years post of the Storm Campaign Kato and his followers rose again, formulating an obsessive cult, that's sole purpose was to resurrect the dragon race. Kato supposedly met his demise at the battle of Escapade. However a legend was left in his wake. He would rise again, when his masters returned to life.

Captain Niveous: A brave solder and leader, much like Kato he disagreed with Juluious's tactics. However he never rebelled. Niveous fought on the front lines of many battles. He witnessed the destruction and devastation that the dragons had wrought. Because of this during the final attack on the dragons main nest Niveous offered to lead the attack. With cover from the air his team along with the Triad were able to punch through to the heart of the fortress and face off aginsted the dragons self proposed ***. Flarestorm was defeated in a brutal battle which resulted in Niveuous being cast into to the Aether.

The Triad: Three dragon riders, The Heroes of the storm campaign. They helped to defeated the Dragons at the end of the dark Ordera and destroyed the corrupted empire that had rained from them.

Awaken, from the sleep we ever dream; Seeker you will see.
Talu: The Dragon rider to the dragon Akeron. Talu is a bold and brash warrior. He tends to be as reckless as the dragon he rides. The two preferring to perform acts of diversion and gallantry, pulling attention on themselves and basking in the spotlight as everyone tries to blast them out of the sky's. Talu seemingly provokes Akeron to do incredulously stupid and erroneous maneuvers. Talu has a massive ego and will fight to defend his pride. He wields a flaming sword when on ground. In the air however he has access to the weapon system that is mounted and strapped to Akeron.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Keino: The dragon rider to the dragon Icenie. Keino is soft spoken and subtle. She prefers a silent approach and a steady hand, much to the admiration of Icenie. The two prefer to use misdirection and manipulation tactics to trick and deceive there enemy's. Staying out of the lime light remaining unseen in the shadows. There attacks are quick, silent, and deadly. Keino ironically dislikes violence and brutality, yet most of her killings tend to exhibit these tendency's. Keino if possible will incapacitate her opponents and those chooses to not to wield a weapon normally. For assassinations however she wields a dagger of frost cast by Icenie. When in the air she has access to a strapped down mounted weapon system although it is rarely used if ever.
Appearance:

Ocora: The dragon rider to the dragon Hontaro. Ocora is a grounded and self respecting warrior, he prides himself in honorable battle and strategic prowess. He and his dragon bring up the rear. The pair focus on defending and protecting there allied air forces and friendly's on the ground. Neither will back down from a challenge, standing up to fight there opponents, he is not ashamed to concede defeat. Ocora constantly chastises Talu and Akeron for there show boating warning them that it will get them killed. Ocora tends to choose the safer routs and strategies putting the rest of the teams safety ahead of the mission at hand, he helps keep the team grounded by also serving as there field medic. Ocora on the ground wields the heavy pluse cannon and a energy shield. Wile in the air he has access to a heavier version of the mounted weapon system.

Ancient Dragons: Beasts of legend born during the rain of the Phantom ships in the mist of the Dark Ordera. There origins is unknown, there decedents walk the earth freely yet very few of there kind remain.
Corrupted: The Dragons that made up the mass majority of the beasts during there era. They conquered worlds, enslaved galaxy's and destroyed universes. There almost mass extinction in the end was the only option to prevent the atrocities of there era from ever occurring by there hands again.
Flarestorm- The Devourer of Suns: The supreme ruler and self proposed *** of the Ancient Dragons. Flare storm devoured suns absorbing there power, eventually becoming near invincible. He waged war on multiple universes, slaying and conquering all that stood in his path. He remained un-rivaled for millenia growing fat and powerful. When Athecia came into being he saw its potential and set to take the planet for his own design launching the great war known as the Storm Campaign. He used his might and his cunning to out maneuver his enemy's at every turn, every corner. Yet he grew confident and arrogant, wile he was able to repeal the first full scale attack on his nest he acknowledged that he had underestimated his enemy's. The Storm Campaign ended with his assumed death as he and many of his generals were presumably destroyed in the final attack by the Triad that used the power of a Defanium Schism to slow time and weaken him. Yet the Triad warned that they had not won, that he would re-appear in the future. Yet he hasn't, at least not yet.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Alasolcala- The Blazing Star: The Blazing star he was called, for when he blew his breath it eradiated heat equivalent to that of a stars plasma. One of Flare Storms most trusted advisors and his strongest enforcer, Alasolcala was trusted with only the most important and pertinent operations. He obliterated planets, burned them to cosmic ash, threw them together and created new suns for his *** to devour. Alasolcala was one of the most feared dragons of his time, the very mention of his name was considered taboo by the enslaved. Even his weakest kin were treated with the utmost respect for fear of his wrath. To cross him was death. Only Flare Storm himself could tame his unruly fury, those unlucky to stand is his way, should pray for a swift end. Alasolcala had a personal vendetta aginsted Akeron in particular, deigning to slay the dragon himself and killing all who would dare attempt to steal it away from him.

Iricorlic- The Freon Spear: Iricorlic; devious, manipulative, insidious, these are all terms that simply do not do this beast justice. Iricorlic- The Freon Spear is a deceptively malicious ***, indulging in glutinous betray and murderous incestuous slaughter. The Left Talon of Flare Storm, Iricorlic deigns to the deceptive cruelty's of the mind. Turning trusted allies and lovers aginsted one another. Insidiously seeding doubts and deceptions, and feeding off of the slaughter wrought by his mind. Iricorlic, with one word could topple empires, crush civilizations and obliterate societies that did stand for millennia. Rumors even had it that he could influence the minds of gods and turn them on another. It is highly speculated upon why his title is as such. It dose come to mind, if only because he wills it, that few have ever seen him eye to eye. None should ever want to.
Appearance:

Galarius- The Golden Heart: The Golden heart was a dragon that had to be seen to be believed. They say Galarius's beauty was unrivaled. She could tame even the most frivoling and savage of beasts. Beasts that in there disillusion would never be prepared for what would follow. Galarius could drain the life from those she slayed. Woe did she slay. Very few could hope to resist her. Through her will Flare Strom commanded an army of ghastly beasts gathered across the multi-verse. She struck down her opposition with reverence and beautiful precision. Her elegance and brilliance a lure to draw. She is the life long mate to Alasolcala- The Blazing Star. "The flesh is a distracting thing if only, the beauty is in destruction." -The Blazing Star to The Golden Heart

Clawdandus (Later the Ascendant/still refereed to as the Exalted)- The Exalted: The Exalted one, Clawdandus. Clawdandus was not like the others in Flare Storms circle. He was much more strange. He was the one who formulated the religion of the stars, to many of his kind he spoke the will of there ***. Through him Flare Storm commanded the Great dragon army's aginsted there enemy's. It was he who spoke for him. Clawdandus unlike his murderous kin, was weak in physical might and ill adept in perceived magic aptitude. But through cunning and wit he succeeded where all but he failed, gaining the respect of those far stronger then he and the title the exalted. After the end of the Storm Campaign Clawdandus was the hidden will behind the Dragon Cult resurrected by Kato to achieve ascendance. His fate is unknown.

Moriander plays with his prey, goading them, taunting them. He earned his title the Insidious Defiler for the fact that... he eats his victims alive, and sometimes carries there strewn, torn about bodies to mock his enemy's with.

For his tendency's of desecration he tends to lead the front lines of Flare Storms army's. Crushing the moral of those who dare appose a ***. There is believed to be some family connection between Moriander and the Dragon Icenie although it seems the truth will remain between the two.

He had already conquered, slaughtered and enslaved all to further there race. He was much more interested in guiding his kin then undoing all that had been done in a power struggle. Instead he offered his will to follow The Devourer of Suns instead. He stood by Flare Storms side for thousands of years, until he was betrayed by his mate bent by the will of Iricorlic. He was gravely wounded and cast into the prison Dimension X to die. There he took the new title The Betrayed and swore vengeance on Iricorlic. He was too weak to free himself from the prison and those shut down into a cold hibernation to avoid detection from the denizens that wondered the forsaken dimension, to await his chance at freedom once more.

His uncertain demeanor when on the ground seemingly fades away when he's near her. Due to his arrangement with Talu there relationship isn't really know but one can put two and two together.

Our friends, our family, our hopes and dreams. Nothing but ash that we leave behind. Nothing worth giving a *** to look back at. I always looked at things differently.

Its best if I just stay gone forever.

Back in Arian-12, I was looking for any work I could get, managed to land myself a temporary patrol job at Lyndial Station. Three weeks in, same as usual, nothing special. We ran our nave points. Finished up, done and done. As we were plotting a course back to HQ. This ahh big civilian liner, it got caught held at gunpoint by this gunship and a wing of bombers, not the cheap *** your use to seeing, corporation tech. They were jamming frequencies in and out of the area. We responded, they told us if we got any closer they would splash the liner. So we listened, we sat back and just waited. Of course there was a corvette in the area, the Jericoy captained by Amanda kiggen. Anyway it was running patrols in and out of the area, doing its job just like us. Communications went out. They tried reaching us, we didn't respond. So they jumped in right on top of them. I don't known what I was thinking in that moment, I don't any of us were thinking then. We watched the gun ship split the liner, halfed. We slammed our burners, barreled straight into the *** thing. Had to role out of the way and go right through the split, bodies were just everywhere, some where still moving. The space devoured everything like a gapping maw. It lasted just a moment and we were threw. Snapped off, picked our targets. Didn't even think about it as I slammed everything I could into something, anything. They didn't last long aginsted the corvette old or not, still outclassed what they brought with them. As soon as that jammer went down, coms were flooded with, so much. We waited out the recover craft, we tried to help, but we were powerless. There was nothing we could about it. Except listen to people dying. Eventually I think I tuned everything out. Hours later I'm sitting in some physic analysis wile all those other people were just, gone... heard Kiggen resigned after that, cant say I blame her. Ya, I just didn't want to feel so useless, I had nothing going for me so I signed up. All things considered I'm still surprised they took me, at the same time they shoved me off to the 13th so then again. First operation with the 13th, o that.

We have gathered some data files of him swinging around gravity hammers and some weird covi energy weapon called a pavilion spear. We don't have any other information at this time regrettably.

Covenant: The former empire built of a obscene religion. Many now believe it was simply a ruse to control the galaxy built on lies and deceit.
Rocar Enpara: A Former covenant military leader touched by the visions of the wayward stars. Rocar participated in the original Battle of Gorna pass, after the war he wandered the galaxy looking for answers, a purpose. For the longest time he believed there was non. One day he saw the world for what it really was, that day he awoke. Now he has built an army from ash and plans to lay siege to the universe all to further his hidden agenda.
Appearance:

Arbiter Zep: Zep was the next arbiter to rise after Thel to establish the new Sangeili order. Alas Zep was more of a fanatic to the old religion. Turning his back on Thel and forsaking the Swords of Sangelios. Zep joined up with Rocar during its early formation and was gifted with the original Arbiter armor. Zep started his task by reuniting multiple covenant splinter cells. He was then tasked with rising the temples of Cygna to further along there planes. Where he is now is anyone's guess but he was last spotted on Cygna.

Deathseeker Nercazd: A eliteous and Zealot to the new order Nercazd is in charge of an elite group of rangers tasked with hunting down and eliminating UNSC targets of opportunity. His name and annotation comes from the splinter cell he formed after the fall of the covenant. The Deathseeker's themselves were notorious for murdering important high ranking personnel, build up a ruthless and blood thirsty reputation all the wile almost impossible to track.
Appearance:

Korvla: Not much is known about Korvla. What little we do know is that he was a member of the higher order within the covenant before it fell. After its collapse he was wanted dead by almost everyone covenant or not. His resurgence now is a discerning matter. To what extent he has returned we do not know.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Nal-Daldric: A ruthless and abnormally aggressive Sangeili Nal was but a minor when the end of the Human-Covenant war came along. Much like many other former Covenant after the government collapsed they dispersed from the main forces and struck out on his own. High jacking a UNSC cruiser originally he stuck to raiding small convoys. As his confidence grew so did his desire for conquest. For a time he worked under a ship-master by the name of Wotr ‘Ndashin, until he over threw the ship master and left him to die on a back hand world. This is how he claimed the Vallacon for himself. The following years many would join him, some would go on to accomplish great things on there own, many would die. Meanwhile Nal built his reputation up as a ruthless and blood thirsty monster. To see the Vallacon was a death sentence. The UNSC at this time are unsure as to how Rocar managed to convince Nal to join forces with him. Perhaps it was just the chance to spread mass chaos, or maybe he offered him something. We may never find out however.

Zhix: Under most circumstances it is widely considered unusual to see a jackal hold any rank of substance. Yet however Zhix is no regular jackal. Zhix was born a few years before the Human-Covenant war came to an end, 2546 to be exact . She Belongs to the almost extinct sub-species of jackals that we refereed to as the storm variant. Not much is know about her child hood as is with Kig-Yar. Joining the covenant remnant at a incredulously young age, probably due to the disorganization of the Remnants. It was clear at least to ONI the awkwardness of this particular specimen meant something. Presumably she felt underappreciated, as with all jackals she was thrown in some forgettable role to die as mass fodder. Her retaliation was to steal a notorious Covenant warship, the Sither. As it stands now, most ONI operatives agree they should have assassinated her when they had the chance. Under her control the Sither went from a minor annoyance to a tactical nightmare. Equipped with extremely powerful long range beam emitters, it was now a force to be reckoned with for sure. But under most cases a Glass cannon like it doesn't last long. Zhix has implored some of the most bazar and estranged tactics we have ever had the displeasure of recording which has lead to its annotation. The Dastardly Sither. All things considered however most Jiralhanae and Sangheili still don't take her seriously which is a huge relief for us. Its no surprise the ship made an appearance at Antares though, Zhix is just as enigmatic as Rocar, if not more so.

Cyua-Alkeric: The Ship master of the Iykeune. not much is known about this Sangeili, accept for her apparent affiliation wither it be former or concurrent with Nal-Daldric and his Vallacon which is hard to say. Unlike some of the other notable commanders in this database, Cyua was never part or the old Covenant of the Remnants. Seemingly presumed to be part of some sub branch of Sangeili that somehow escaped servitude with the prophets. What ever the case may be, Cyua is in possession of an ancient vessel. ONI believes it to be elvish in some regard, perhaps something else. Where not entirely sure. She is very punctuated, precise. Preferring to eliminate her targets and nothing more, in starch contrast to the aforementioned. We wish we had more on her but at this time information is hard to come by. It is however safe to assume the Iykeune will be in the Antares system alongside the Vallacon.

Banished: The Brutes who said NO to the covenant and revolted.
Atriox: He who needs no introduction. A beastly brute, and for his race surprisingly brilliant tactician. Atriox has always been somewhat of a loose cannon. He built the banished on the backs of the Remnants and by now has overtaken them in both support, coordination, and power. The only thing he dose lack is a was structured leadership. As it stands if Atriox were to fall so would the banished.

Nadar: A Rouge brute charged with gaining entrance to the first temple on Cygna Prime. She succeeded in opening a doorway but not to the first temple. Instead somewhere else. She was defeated during a rescue mission and rendered unconscious. ONI took her into custody for interrogation. Her survival is presumably irrelevant. However ONI and SOC both want to know exactly why she was on Cygna and what Atriox wants with the planet.

Like most brutes he is hulking and huge, enormously strong and capable of dealing massive blows. Yet Erahel prefers to use a small dagger for his weapon. Cutting down his foes with elongated precision proving that bigger isn't always better.

The Evolutionary Flood: Not to be mistaken for the super flood born of the old Covenant and ONI's twisted experiments. These monstrosities originate from a new type of Grave Mind. These flood are far different from the forms we had encountered before and unbelievably we have managed to form a sort of peace between us and them.
The Inibitinary Mind: An arid abomination created millennia ago dating the initial formation of the flood hive mind consensus. The Mind was created as a subject to extract the more viable survival traits from other life forms. This simple form eventually accrued a sentient consciousness and openly opposed the consensus, dooming its own survival as innately flawed due to there reliance on other sentient creatures to survive. It was absorbed the by hive mind, recreated by the grave mind before its destruction and sent into the galaxy towards something of innate interest.
Appearance:

Primary: The first of the new flood forms under the Inibitinary Mind to accrue a form of sentient consciousness.

We are investigating them but as far as we can tell there is little to no information available on them at this time.

General Juluious: Supreme leaded and Commander of the Alliance and all who journeyed to the past aboard the seeder world of Athecia. Juluious is a hard and righteous man, A natural leader and commander who has earned the respect and following of his peers. He was a devoted Commander and lead the Alliance through the Storm Campaign. When the war aginsted the Ancient Dragons and the Phantoms of the Mist came to an end Juluious ordered the mass extinction of the Dragon race to ensure they could never rain terror on reality again.

Captain Kato: Commander of Bavilion squadron Kato commanded the airs bringing to bear the Alliances heavy air craft in there war aginsted the dragons. Resounded as a brilliant tactician and commander, but not without his faults. Kato was gradually swayed from the Alliance during the storm campaign. Deeming there methods of eradication to extreme. Kato lamented rebellion aginsted the Alliance, which evidently lead to the massacre of Adonai, resulting in Commander Karliaiel's death. Kato and the few that followed him fled. During the years post of the Storm Campaign Kato and his followers rose again, formulating an obsessive cult, that's sole purpose was to resurrect the dragon race. Kato supposedly met his demise at the battle of Escapade. However a legend was left in his wake. He would rise again, when his masters returned to life.

Captain Niveous: A brave solder and leader, much like Kato he disagreed with Juluious's tactics. However he never rebelled. Niveous fought on the front lines of many battles. He witnessed the destruction and devastation that the dragons had wrought. Because of this during the final attack on the dragons main nest Niveous offered to lead the attack. With cover from the air his team along with the Triad were able to punch through to the heart of the fortress and face off aginsted the dragons self proposed ***.

Awaken, from the sleep we ever dream; Seeker you will see.
Talu: The Dragon rider to the dragon Akeron. Talu is a bold and brash warrior. He tends to be as reckless as the dragon he rides. The two preferring to perform acts of diversion and gallantry, pulling attention on themselves and basking in the spotlight as everyone tries to blast them out of the sky's. Talu seemingly provokes Akeron to do incredulously stupid and erroneous maneuvers. Talu has a massive ego and will fight to defend his pride. He wields a flaming sword when on ground. In the air however he has access to the weapon system that is mounted and strapped to Akeron.
Appearance:

Keino: The dragon rider to the dragon Icenie. Keino is soft spoken and subtle. She prefers a silent approach and a steady hand, much to the admiration of Icenie. The two prefer to use misdirection and manipulation tactics to trick and deceive there enemy's. Staying out of the lime light remaining unseen in the shadows. There attacks are quick, silent, and deadly. Keino ironically dislikes violence and brutality, yet most of her killings tend to exhibit these tendency's. Keino if possible will incapacitate her opponents and those chooses to not to wield a weapon normally. For assassinations however she wields a dagger of frost cast by Icenie. When in the air she has access to a strapped down mounted weapon system although it is rarely used if ever.

Neither will back down from a challenge, standing up to fight there opponents, he is not ashamed to concede defeat. Ocora constantly chastises Talu and Akeron for there show boating warning them that it will get them killed. Ocora tends to choose the safer routs and strategies putting the rest of the teams safety ahead of the mission at hand, he helps keep the team grounded by also serving as there field medic. Ocora on the ground wields the heavy pluse cannon and a energy shield. Wile in the air he has access to a heavier version of the mounted weapon system.

Ancient Dragons: Beasts of legend born during the rain of the Phantom ships in the mist of the Dark Ordera. There origins is unknown, there decedents walk the earth freely yet very few of there kind remain.
Corrupted: The Dragons that made up the mass majority of the beasts during there era. They conquered worlds, enslaved galaxy's and destroyed universes. There almost mass extinction in the end was the only option to prevent the atrocities of there era from ever occurring by there hands again.
Flarestorm- The Devourer of Suns: The supreme ruler and self proposed *** of the Ancient Dragons. Flare storm devoured suns absorbing there power, eventually becoming near invincible. He waged war on multiple universes, slaying and conquering all that stood in his path. He remained un-rivaled for millenia growing fat and powerful. When Athecia came into being he saw its potential and set to take the planet for his own design launching the great war known as the Storm Campaign. He used his might and his cunning to out maneuver his enemy's at every turn, every corner. Yet he grew confident and arrogant, wile he was able to repeal the first full scale attack on his nest he acknowledged that he had underestimated his enemy's. The Storm Campaign ended with his assumed death as he and many of his generals were presumably destroyed in the final attack by the Triad that used the power of a Defanium Schism to slow time and weaken him. Yet the Triad warned that they had not won, that he would re-appear in the future. Yet he hasn't, at least not yet.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Alasolcala- The Blazing Star: The Blazing star he was called, for when he blew his breath it eradiated heat equivalent to that of a stars plasma. One of Flare Storms most trusted advisors and his strongest enforcer, Alasolcala was trusted with only the most important and pertinent operations. He obliterated planets, burned them to cosmic ash, threw them together and created new suns for his *** to devour. Alasolcala was one of the most feared dragons of his time, the very mention of his name was considered taboo by the enslaved. Even his weakest kin were treated with the utmost respect for fear of his wrath. To cross him was death. Only Flare Storm himself could tame his unruly fury, those unlucky to stand is his way, should pray for a swift end. Alasolcala had a personal vendetta aginsted Akeron in particular, deigning to slay the dragon himself and killing all who would dare attempt to steal it away from him.
Appearance:

Iricorlic- The Freon Spear: Iricorlic; devious, manipulative, insidious, these are all terms that simply do not do this beast justice. Iricorlic- The Freon Spear is a deceptively malicious ***, indulging in glutinous betray and murderous incestuous slaughter. The Left Talon of Flare Storm, Iricorlic deigns to the deceptive cruelty's of the mind. Turning trusted allies and lovers aginsted one another. Insidiously seeding doubts and deceptions, and feeding off of the slaughter wrought by his mind. Iricorlic, with one word could topple empires, crush civilizations and obliterate societies that did stand for millennia. Rumors even had it that he could influence the minds of gods and turn them on another. It is highly speculated upon why his title is as such. It dose come to mind, if only because he wills it, that few have ever seen him eye to eye. None should ever want to.
Appearance:

Galarius- The Golden Heart: The Golden heart was a dragon that had to be seen to be believed. They say Galarius's beauty was unrivaled. She could tame even the most frivoling and savage of beasts. Beasts that in there disillusion would never be prepared for what would follow. Galarius could drain the life from those she slayed. Woe did she slay. Very few could hope to resist her. Through her will Flare Strom commanded an army of ghastly beasts gathered across the multi-verse. She struck down her opposition with reverence and beautiful precision. Her elegance and brilliance a lure to draw. She is the life long mate to Alasolcala- The Blazing Star. "The flesh is a distracting thing if only, the beauty is in destruction." -The Blazing Star to The Golden Heart

Clawdandus (Later the Ascendant/still refereed to as the Exalted)- The Exalted: The Exalted one, Clawdandus. Clawdandus was not like the others in Flare Storms circle. He was much more strange. He was the one who formulated the religion of the stars, to many of his kind he spoke the will of there ***. Through him Flare Storm commanded the Great dragon army's aginsted there enemy's. It was he who spoke for him. Clawdandus unlike his murderous kin, was weak in physical might and ill adept in perceived magic aptitude. But through cunning and wit he succeeded where all but he failed, gaining the respect of those far stronger then he and the title the exalted. After the end of the Storm Campaign Clawdandus was the hidden will behind the Dragon Cult resurrected by Kato to achieve ascendance. His fate is unknown.
Appearance:

Moriander- The Insidious Defiler: Moriander fights his enemy's through trickery and cruelty. When facing this beast nothing is as it seems to be. Moriander plays with his prey, goading them, taunting them. He earned his title the Insidious Defiler for the fact that... he eats his victims alive, and sometimes carries there strewn, torn about bodies to mock his enemy's with. Moriander is often noted as isolated, distant, as if he sees himself apart from the rest. Willfully casting himself into the role he is in. For his tendency's of desecration he tends to lead the front lines of Flare Storms army's. Crushing the moral of those who dare appose a ***. There is believed to be some family connection between Moriander and the Dragon Icenie although it seems the truth will remain between the two.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Carsocross- The Betrayed: Once Carsocross the Eyes Fury, much like there self proposed *** Flare Storm, he ruled over universe with an iron fist long before the rise of Flare Storm. When the Devourer of Suns rose to power the first thing he did was wipe out his opposition. When The Devourer of Suns came to Carsocross he was not interested in waging war. He had already conquered, slaughtered and enslaved all to further there race. He was much more interested in guiding his kin then undoing all that had been done in a power struggle. Instead he offered his will to follow The Devourer of Suns instead. He stood by Flare Storms side for thousands of years, until he was betrayed by his mate bent by the will of Iricorlic. He was gravely wounded and cast into the prison Dimension X to die. There he took the new title The Betrayed and swore vengeance on Iricorlic. He was too weak to free himself from the prison and those shut down into a cold hibernation to avoid detection from the denizens that wondered the forsaken dimension, to await his chance at freedom once more.
Appearance:

Allacor- The Deranged Seeker: The Wings of Flare Storm, Allacor had but one purpose to unlock the future. She foresaw Flare Storms defeat and the near extinction of there race. She foretold there exodus to the place between universes. The evolution of there race and when they would rise again. Flare Storm with her foresight sought to avoid the future, inevitably ushering it in. Allacor would spend most of her time away from the dragons of her side. She was not interposed to mingle with others who did not side with Flare Storm or who openly opposed him. Wile Flare Storm was unable to influence the future she found a loop hole and succeeded where he failed. By informing the Triad of there future they struck a deal with the Harold of Time. She disappeared in the expanse of Dark Space. Her fate is unknown.
Appearance:

Estabon- The Enlightened: Estabon was but a tool to be used. A bringer of light, of hope, so easily contorted and corrupted. Estabon was born one of the Enlightened. He never knew the cruelty and hatred of his brotheren. He wielded the powers the sun. Enhanced it, purified it. With this power he could heal all who he touched. Iricorlic, by his will Estabon's vision grew distorted, He soiled his mind with fears of death and betray, turned him into a hidden weapon and with his final act corrupted his power creating a weapon to silence all. Estabon turned on the dragons he had known throughout his life. With the Murder of Anonkia, Estabon had served his purpose and he was cut down by those he had unwittingly betrayed.
Appearance:

Enlightened: The Dragons who sided aginsted there corrupted kin. Those he did not believe in what there race had stood for or the few that were born outside of there cruelty.
Halani- Bringer of Light: Halani- Bringer of Light was a dragon renowned he her ability to clear the chaotic mist left behind by the Phantom ships. She was a protectorate, who ruled territory like the rest of her kind, however instead of enslavement she protected those under her. She was know to be omnipotent, yet easy to approach and kind. She was recruited by Anonkia to fight aginsted The Devourer of Suns. She was adamant to join due to bringing war upon those she protected. In the wake of Keralan she joined Anonkia believing Flare Storm would slaughter them regardless. Halani to the Alliance was seen as untrustworthy, most tended to shy away from her. Akeron to the bewilderment of Talu took an interest in her. They tend to keep there relationship to themselves.
Appearance:

Anonkia- Salvations Edge: Anonkia, Salvations Edge is the leader of the Enlightened Dragon faction, Generally created to oppose his family's cruelty his focus shifted once they were wiped out by Flare Storm as his growing empire slaughtered all that stood in there path. Anonkia unwillingly joined the Alliance at the start of the Storm Campaign once he saw they were the only ones who stood a chance aginsted Flare Storm and his empire. Anonkia himself was a self righteous Dragon who saw himself as the embodiment for the future of there race. Wile self serving to an extent he wished to show his kind that there was another path then what had been done before. During the Height of the Storm Campaign he was killed by Estabon which severely weekend the fortitude of the faction, and inevitably lead to it crumbling near the end of the Campaign.
Appearance:

Seka- Dawnings Light: Seka Dawning's Light is a passive defender. She uses her talents to strengthen and reinforce her allies in battle, attacking from long ranges to avoid being hit by close range attack. She is a open minded dragon tending to help train potential dragon riders in the basics of riding. Wile she is not considered physically strong or adept her presumed magic aptitude far outreached many of her pears, lending her to the support role she plays. Because of this in battle she is a primary target. She and Mallnarious are life long mates, operating in the field and training as a pair. Seka unlike most Dragon gained the trust of General Juluious, often being able to influence him away from his more extreme strategies.
Appearance:

Mallnarious- Dawning's dusk: Mallnarious Dawning's Dusk is an aggressor. He uses his strength and skill in combat to rip and tear his opponents down. Preferring close ranged attacks with speed and precision. He can be stubborn, once he has a thought in his head he sticks to it even when its not always the best idea. Mallnarious and Seka are life long mates. In battle Mallnarious stays close to her to protect her from attackers since she tends to be prioritized for her support role. Mallnarious is used often in close range scouting missions and is particularly skilled at performing operations considered, ludicrous.
Appearance:

The Triad: The Dragons of legend that freed there kind from damnation.
Akeron - The Blade of Fire: Akeron is a hot headed near psychopathic dragon. In the air he can be crazy, willfully engaging in erroneous maneuvers and antagonizing his opponents and ally's alike. It also doesn't help that Talu willfully partakes in this behavior. On the ground his demeanor changes somewhat drastically. He is generally pessimistic, uncertain of himself and untrusting, his strong will leads to him barreling into situations that can often be avoided. Not surprisingly he hates feeling trapped in a confined space. He and Talu have a understanding with one another. They work together and push one another when applicable but stay out of each others personal affairs. Akeron took an interest in Halani when he first met her. His uncertain demeanor when on the ground seemingly fades away when he's near her. Due to his arrangement with Talu there relationship isn't really know but one can put two and two together. Akeron got the tital The Blade of Fire for his mastery of the element and his ability to figuratively speaking become a weapon of the flame.
Appearance:
(For reference in accordance with Project V.O.R.T.E.X. power levels) :
Icenie- The Jaded Dagger: Icenie, always the deceptive. She is a willfully deceptive beast. Using trickery, sly world play, and a little misguidance to get her way.

Dying Stars: Characters from my Extended Lore.
Kaiman: Sometimes its best not ask, What we can do, what we should be. None of it is relevant really. We just burn through it all. Everything good, everything that means something. Our friends, our family, our hopes and dreams. Nothing but ash that we leave behind. Nothing worth giving a *** to look back at. I always looked at things differently. I thought I was the one being played with, that someone or something else pulled me into this mess. This great disaster was somehow unavoidable regardless of my actions. That my choices didn't matter, I was the one being played with after all. When you finally find that something that pulls you back in, makes you start paying attention. I don't know, its a drug, and addiction to finally have something to just obsess over. To devout into. All the wile I could prance on thinking that I was still the unwilling participant in all of it. I'm, sorry. Pretty sad isn't it. That in actuality I'm the reason everyone else is stuck in this mess. I'm the reason we are all here. I started it, with one action. Even if it became just an echo doesn't mean it faded away. Everyone is better off if I just disappear, were all better of if humanity itself would just wink out of exitance. Were one big mess after all. Stomping around, destroying everything we touch. Were one big mess, we mean nothing, we want nothing, we are nothing. Don't try to find me, the future doesn't want me. Its best if I just stay gone forever.

Captain Krase: My names Averie Douglas Krase. im 31 years old. I was born in the back water world Arian-12 342-549-9283-2.19. I enlisted at mark 4228-76. Before the war. What made me join... Back in Arian-12, I was looking for any work I could get, managed to land myself a temporary patrol job at Lyndial Station. Three weeks in, same as usual, nothing special. We ran our nave points. Finished up, done and done. As we were plotting a course back to HQ. This ahh big civilian liner, it got caught held at gunpoint by this gunship and a wing of bombers, not the cheap *** your use to seeing, corporation tech. They were jamming frequencies in and out of the area. We responded, they told us if we got any closer they would splash the liner. So we listened, we sat back and just waited. Of course there was a corvette in the area, the Jericoy captained by Amanda kiggen. Anyway it was running patrols in and out of the area, doing its job just like us. Communications went out. They tried reaching us, we didn't respond. So they jumped in right on top of them. I don't known what I was thinking in that moment, I don't any of us were thinking then. We watched the gun ship split the liner, halfed. We slammed our burners, barreled straight into the *** thing. Had to role out of the way and go right through the split, bodies were just everywhere, some where still moving. The space devoured everything like a gapping maw. It lasted just a moment and we were threw. Snapped off, picked our targets. Didn't even think about it as I slammed everything I could into something, anything. They didn't last long aginsted the corvette old or not, still outclassed what they brought with them. As soon as that jammer went down, coms were flooded with, so much. We waited out the recover craft, we tried to help, but we were powerless. There was nothing we could about it. Except listen to people dying. Eventually I think I tuned everything out. Hours later I'm sitting in some physic analysis wile all those other people were just, gone... heard Kiggen resigned after that, cant say I blame her. Ya, I just didn't want to feel so useless, I had nothing going for me so I signed up. All things considered I'm still surprised they took me, at the same time they shoved me off to the 13th so then again. First operation with the 13th, o that. Thing just got *** up real fast, first operation was - [Report 7261 excerpt]

Eventually angered by its inability to truly create as was Damaras Original design; Vandstralana try's to force perfect evolutionary traits on those is touches resulting in twisted, horrid abominations of contorted repossessed matter due to its simple lack of understanding physical life. Vandstralana doesn't seek to become reality but instead to contort it into its believed perspective of perfection. It's corruption burns away flesh and bone, scorches and twists living and inert matter into wretched forms.

Ethan died, and Kestral was born... (to be continued) i ment it! continuing.
Kestral was to be the first operator in a elite strike team, Special Operations Command (SOC). However he lacked the proper training and was sent to train with the ODST and in particular Apocalypse at the time lead by Captain Finch. Here he learned extensive military practices and refined both his hand to hand combat skills and aim. Once his training was complete he was gifted a armor set of which hes used ever sense. The almost recruit armor set makes it hard to pick him out from a crowd of ODST. Fennic now with her first operator active and working in tandem with General Grant put forward there first operation. The objective was simple. The UNSC Colony in Regulus was starting a uprising with the UNSC. There was already multiple accounts of transgression within the community, meanwhile a UNSC destroyer (Olympus) was hijacked wile being repaired in system, they had been refusing contact with the UNSC and the crew of the vessel was assumed captured and imprisoned. His objective was simple, to identify the insurgents, rescue the crew of the Olympus, take back there destroyer and end the uprising before it began. The operation was anything but perfect however he was able to free the crew and stop the uprising at the loss of the Olympus. Kestral made a shocking discover however when he learned that the ONI was instigating the uprising possible to wager distrust between the colones and UNSC high command.
With his first mission completed he returned to sol where he had a very small celebration at SOC's first successful operation. Kestral now officially deemed a SOC operative was granted Omega_Red clearance, open access to all logs and files both UNSC and ONI ect, a privilege that most of ONI didn't even know they could give (unofficially outranking Grant). As the first operator, if anyone were ever to identify him or his soon to be team they were to believe he was the leader. Here he started recruiting new operators through a extensive process of ranking tiers. Third party, contacts and allies that work with kestral and other SOC operatives but don't actually know of the organizations existence. Second party, close allies and contacts of SOC, besides the founders of the team almost everyone related to SOC that isnt a priority operator falls into this category. Also contacts and allies that are personally connected in some way to a operator. Primary operators are the only actual members of SOC besides the founders and are the only ones who can bring someone into the organization those making them a priority operator. Throughout the years hes worked with almost every UNSC branch in existence even helping ONI from time to time (who eventually grew to hate him) His connections run deep but hes not invisible, For every operation taken resources are drawn and there is a limited number of operators. Kestral dose his best to lead but sometimes has to admit that hes warn out and in over his head.
Kestrals personality lends to him being hard headed and upfront, hes moody and doesn't like being messed with. He has a tendency to get caught up in the moment which distracts him from other more important things. He is resilient in tough situations and very intelligent, however he tends to over analysis problems and can be somewhat dense. He has also been noted to have trust issues. He dosen't bond well with others well, blowing up a covenant warship with a rock is easier then getting his trust. its possible that his distrust comes from the UNSC Covenant war, however its more likely paranoia from when he was younger as he used to have horrible dreams and nightmares. If theres anyone hes willing to lay down his life for it is his fellow operators, he has gotten to know most very well. Meanwhile him and Fennic tend to show interest in one another although neither has made a move ever.
There we go one main character down.
I should do what NATO did. Ill give a brief of SOC and its formation and operation status as a branch for him and the other operators to be listed under.

Red Team: After Jim Branson rose to prominence as a local hero, he was assigned command of a small strike team. This squad is often in a state of flux, with members being lost and replaced at a fairly regular basis. Despite this, Red Team remains an organised, unified unit, loyal to the UNSC cause, and resolute in their ideals.
Jim Branson: 23 years old, son of the now-deceased General Bradford Branson. Formerly a private in the UNSC marines, where he was partnered with Carlos Giuseppe, Jim was appointed head of a specialised, independent task force dedicated to dealing with the surviving “Super Flood”. While he was known to be a bit of a clown during his time as a marine, he has become a lot more focused and attentive, leading his team with skill and precision in a number of successful operations. However, the loss of his father has had a severe impact on him, and only time will tell what the long-term consequences of this loss might be for Jim and his team.
Anya Branson: 26 years old, daughter of Bradford Branson, and older sister to Jim. Anya is an overwhelmingly mediocre operative, scoring average marks during training, achieving satisfactory results in missions, and overall, not doing much except the bare minimum. Many of her superiors and teammates have attested that she has the potential to accomplish more than this, but it’s unclear what might motivate her to do so. Even after the death of her father, her behaviour has remained largely unchanged. Not even following the orders of her younger brother seems to bother her.
Marius Marks: 31 years old, family history unknown. Marius joined the UNSC at 18, working his way up the ranks, and serving as a front line sniper in the marine corps during the closing days of the Human-Covenant war. Eventually, he moved on to be trained as an ODST, and was assigned to Jim’s team shortly before the Necropolis incident. Unbeknownst to Jim, Marius was appointed to join the team by General Branson himself, with specific instructions to keep Jim safe. Even now that the General is dead, Marius has devoted himself to diligently following those orders.
CC Browning: Age and family history unknown. Little is known about this man’s background, save for his skill in combat, and fascination with brute tactics and tech. His Reach-era EVA armour is a testament to how long he’s been in service, and Jim is just another in a long line of commanders he’s served under over the years. He has no personal stake in the ongoing conflicts on the planet; to him, this is just another standard assignment.
Admiral Sabree: Age, family status, and general history are all unknown. Admiral Sabree is, in a word, a mystery. No records of him exist in UNSC databases or ONI archives. No one’s exactly sure who he is, when he got trained, or where he got his hands on a full, functioning suit of Spartan armour… nor does anyone know how he’s able to wear it. Despite his enigmatic status, his talent in battle is undeniable, and therefore his presence in Jim’s team has been reluctantly accepted by UNSC and ONI officials.
Jim Branson: 23 years old, son of the now-deceased General Bradford Branson. Formerly a private in the UNSC marines, where he was partnered with Carlos Giuseppe, Jim was appointed head of a specialised, independent task force dedicated to dealing with the surviving “Super Flood”. While he was known to be a bit of a clown during his time as a marine, he has become a lot more focused and attentive, leading his team with skill and precision in a number of successful operations. However, the loss of his father has had a severe impact on him, and only time will tell what the long-term consequences of this loss might be for Jim and his team.
Anya Branson: 26 years old, daughter of Bradford Branson, and older sister to Jim. Anya is an overwhelmingly mediocre operative, scoring average marks during training, achieving satisfactory results in missions, and overall, not doing much except the bare minimum. Many of her superiors and teammates have attested that she has the potential to accomplish more than this, but it’s unclear what might motivate her to do so. Even after the death of her father, her behaviour has remained largely unchanged. Not even following the orders of her younger brother seems to bother her.
Marius Marks: 31 years old, family history unknown. Marius joined the UNSC at 18, working his way up the ranks, and serving as a front line sniper in the marine corps during the closing days of the Human-Covenant war. Eventually, he moved on to be trained as an ODST, and was assigned to Jim’s team shortly before the Necropolis incident. Unbeknownst to Jim, Marius was appointed to join the team by General Branson himself, with specific instructions to keep Jim safe. Even now that the General is dead, Marius has devoted himself to diligently following those orders.
CC Browning: Age and family history unknown. Little is known about this man’s background, save for his skill in combat, and fascination with brute tactics and tech. His Reach-era EVA armour is a testament to how long he’s been in service, and Jim is just another in a long line of commanders he’s served under over the years. He has no personal stake in the ongoing conflicts on the planet; to him, this is just another standard assignment.
