Talon Lead

The pilot known as “The Shadow of Gomorrah” is actually a Black Talon member who has gone native to assist the Liberati. The pilot, whose name and identity are classified, served as the team leader for Talon 1 on Caprice during their now famous operation. Rumors and conspiracy theorists often claim this individual to be the terrorist Ernesto Jaxon although opponents of this theory point to his presence on Terra Nova during Talon 1’s operation. When the Black Talons returned to Caprice, this pilot was detached as an advisor to the Liberati but soon went silent. They would eventually reappear, participating in raids and operations alongside Liberati cells. Contacts within the Liberati and CEF 5th Column have reported the name “The Shadow of Gomorrah” being used to identify this pilot. Black Talon command considers this agent to have “gone native” although they have aided Talon teams on Caprice without incident. The Shadow pilots their Dark Mamba which saw action on Caprice with Talon 1. It has since been heavily modified to use local weaponry and parts in an effort to stay serviceable. If they need something more specific, Talon teams are more than willing to provide those parts after receiving the Shadow’s assistance during operations.

Ar’tur Carranagh, Animus Golem

Not much information exists on “The Black Knight”, the excuse given by the Seiath empire is due to a damaging of family record archives during the CEF invasion of Eden.What is known is that he is a high ranking Seiath noble, appearing to be a middle aged man with greying hair and golden eyes, a mark of greatness in Edinite culture. Despite being so marked for great things at an early age, most Edenites, and by all accounts the Black Knight himself, consider him cursed due to the high fatality rate of his duels and appearances at the Tourney, even though he currently stands undefeated.
