Vrael Seleukos (Tamerlane)

A turian warlord operating in the Terminus System.

  • Affably Evil: Tamerlane is always courteous, polite and self-effacing - even to his enemies.
  • The Caligula: A mild version. He is mostly rational and humble, but he privately entertains large delusions of grandeur; he believes himself to be a modern-day conqueror in the mould of his pseudonym, and has adjusted his behaviour to correspond to this idea. Hence the throne room and the extravagant dress sense.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He spoke poorly of Caldus Discori and stated that he was glad that he was dead.
  • Names to Run Away From: He's called Tamerlane. Y'know, after this guy.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: He refers to himself - and is referred to by everyone else as - Tamerlane, rather than his turian name.
  • Wicked Cultured: He is named after an ancient conqueror, and he frequently makes references to the classical world in his speech and in his dress.

Michael Thompson (mikemerc)

A veteran mercenary now working as a freelancer.

Kojet

A rare case among the elcor, Kojet is a freelance mercenary residing in the Terminus Systems. He's quite arrogant, but he is, by no means, a pushover. Kojet is essentially a tank on legs, carrying enough strength and firepower to wipe out a platoon.

Modulator_Demodulator: Elcor can be fast when they need to be.

Kojet: With dawning horror: No. That's not you. It can't be you. I thought I...Terrified beyond all rational thought: Meep.

Matthew Jamison (DunwichHorror117)

A young human freelancer who left Earth after a major spat with his parents. Spends time in between Omega and the Citadel, doing odd jobs and even had a stint as a babysitter for the child of an Omega crime boss.

Everett Maliszewski (Son_of_Orion)

An Alliance combat engineer turned C-SEC officer turned elite Hammer operative turned mercenary. Everett has a strong sense of justice, and he is convinced that he can help make the galaxy a little safer for law-abiding citizens. Nowadays he worked freelance with Elara T'Meyra until WHO GOES THERE 2 came around...

Everett: ashria/sick/tuhaka's deligt/zakra ward/hlep

  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: He fought in the Eden Prime War. Everett's case isn't as severe as some other veterans, but bringing up the war around him can some bad memories to resurface, dragging down his mood in an instant.
  • The Engineer: Covers variants 1 and 2.
  • Theme Naming: Everett's callsign was Anvil.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: He despises slavery. Orion is completely unsympathetic to any slaver, regardless of their intentions.
  • Turn in Your Badge: Though he wasn't fired from C-SEC; he quit, after his superior condoned the usage of torture as a means to extract information from a suspect.

Nathaniel "Nate" Letho (Shadow Nate)

A human biotic slaver. Little about him is known so far apart from the fact that he was able to operate on the Citadel unnoticed.

Jack Napier (Infinite Monkeys)

A satire author with a dark and mysterious past, he decides to go once more into the mercenary business in order to escape from whatever is chasing him.

Gideon Archer (Custodian)

An aging veteran commanding a mercenary battlecruiser and former officer within the Alliance navy. Having lost his commission and much of his original crew in the Skyllian Blitz he holds a serious grudge against the Batarians. He’s best known for defending new colonies in the hopes slavers will turn up for him to fight.

  • Authority Equals Asskicking: Despite preferring to stay on the bridge of his ship and deal with things from there he proves to be very competent in a face to face battle.
  • Badass Grandpa
  • Badass Normal
  • The Captain
  • Death From Above: “You can keep your ground battles, I’ll stick to vaporising bastards from my chair with a fifty megaton cannon.”
  • Fighting For a Homeland: Usually being paid to do this for someone else.
  • Good Is Not Nice: While he has a moral code and frequently defends new colonies against threats, Archer never works for free and it's been hinted one of the reasons he fights slavers is to specifically kill Batarians.
    • The only exception to this was the battle in New Cairo. Which he got involved with to cripple a number of Eclipse ships to prevent them expanding their influence into systems with potential clients.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars
  • I Did What I Had to Do: Frequently his defence for losing his ship in the Skyllian Blitz, ramming it into a cruiser because it was the only way any of his crew might survive.
  • Killer Rabbit: Archer's ship, the Keeper of Heaven. Every aspect of it has been made to look like it's a cruiser sized non-combat ship with limited defences. It's in fact bristling with hidden short range weapons systems and an anti-capital ship weapon.
  • Noble Bigot: Towards most Batarians, bordering upon Fantastic Racism.
  • Noodle Incident: Most of his career, but he specifically notes he’s done little to earn any real glory save for what his crew did on Iridan. What he did is never explained.
  • Old Soldier
  • Private Military Contractor
  • Properly Paranoid: When he considers something to have been too easy, he’s frequently right.
  • Ramming Always Works: How he lost his original ship.
