Alvar Aalto – Neutral Mercenary – 39 – When Maxim's Specialized Unit was crushed by Ain Soph Aur's Gevurah machines ten years ago, only those Maxim pilots away from company holdings survived; although many were eventually hunted down or absorbed into the military of other companies, Aalto has escaped both these fates. He was one of Maxim's most brutal policing officers and life as a Sparrow hunter-killer has done nothing to soften him – his primary ambition now is to see ASA destroyed and he takes any Phalanx job against the reactionaries. He is a genuinely genius pilot, as good on little to no Lyrimony as many others are taking too much. Although certainly not young any more – he's in his late thirties – his moods are overshadowed by his roguish reputation and good looks, at least amongst women. Sparrow: Algol (MAX2035 Dnepr unique)
Johnny Bai – Ain Soph Aur Enginseer – 27 – Bai is young for an Enginseer, especially for one of his calibre and there are those who claim he is a front for a group of less glamorous architects. He is a shy, polite genius, but however reserved he may seem, he has strong ethics and is devoted to Ain Soph Aur's cause. He refuses to take part in anything that he feels compromises the environment; and although he will never raise his voice even the oldest and meanest members of the revolution back down from his cold, quiet anger. He was born and raised to sit at mid-level Enginseer with a glass ceiling, and he prefers to work on his own rather than lead large teams. Some speculate he may be high functioning autistic or suffer from some form of Aspergers syndrom. Faceclaim: Yosuke Hanamura - Persona 4
Abaddon Chaikin – Glasslyn Pilot – 32 – The golden boy of the Eurasian continent's piloting sphere, Abaddon is in the top tier worldwide. He was born on an Aeropoli owned by Glasslyn but not because of his family's wealth; his father was a maintenance mechanic. Abaddon learned engineering and mechanics from his father and his father's co-workers and was part of a team maintaining Eulalia's Wolfblitz – she and he became friends and she bought him a plugsuit so that he could pilot her machine – her father was furious but agreed to accept him into Glasslyn's military. He has since become that militia's primary powerhouse although his rise to prominence and wealth has brought out the worst in him and despite having been briefly engaged, he and Eulalia are now on especially awkward terms although they have never done more than disable each other's machines on the rare occasions they meet. Sparrow: Yesh Me-Ayin (GLY-X999 Leonhardt XX00 unique)
Rhyddrch Cnaimhin – Ain Soph Aur Demagogue – 34 – Rhyddrch grew up in the shadow of DOLPHIN and his father, a Protestant minster, who worked for the organization; when DOLPHIN was destroyed and his father killed, he joined Ain Soph Aur. He is one of the organization's leaders; although he came to the organization with no money and a criminal record he has since risen to the top of the Phalanx hitlist. He is a passionate speaker, an excellent streetfighter and has massive charisma – and a heroin habit that Ain Soph Aur makes no secret of. He is laughingly referred to as the damaged messiah by some Phalanx authorities, but they know not to underestimate the report he has with the people on the surface.
Hoshino Chihiro – Hoshino Heavy Industries CEO – 42 – Empress-CEO of HHI, promoted after her father, Hoshino Makoto took the fall for the destruction of A03. She spent most of her life thinking her twin brother Ryuichi would inherit the company and spent it piloting for the company. When her brother fell ill and she took over, it quickly became clear she was more than competent – and that her past as a pilot had not left her unscathed. She suffers from a form of Familial Fatal Insomnia caused by Lyrimony, but doesn't let this or her occasional relapses into withdrawal stop her from being one of the shrewdest CEOs in the Phalanx. Anahera Ngaio – Talqudar Architect – 36 – Anahera has always been brilliant and made her fortune working for an independent Sparrow-design contractor before her thirtieth birthday. She was offered a job at Talqudar and is now head of a small, dedicated, secretive team designing all manor of experimental Sparrows. Their functions include remote control, new energy sources, new patterns, and new weaponry. There is some inter-Phalanx collaboration but her work on new energy blades is one of Talqudar's closest-held secrets. She terrifies some people with a direct manor and her many tribal tattoos, but when at work with her reading glasses on and her mechanical pencil tapping against her bottom lip she's very still and very calm.
Elkan "Wintermute" Riese – TIANLONG Aspect Designer – 37 – Most Phalanx companies don't produce their own specialized Aspects, but Riese has been working on developing more and more advanced artificial intelligences for Aspects and they have thusfar been regulated to TIANLONG owners. He is a bright man, mellow and some might say nerdy with a quick smile and a morbid sense of humour. He works out of his surface apartment and at first glance would not appear to be employed by TIANLONG at all but the computers in his messy abode rival most laboratory processors and he is very highly paid although this only shows when he shells out to upgrade one of his many "pet" Aspects.
Miho Riku – Ain Soph Aur Biologist – 29 – Once a biologist on Vulperion's staff, Miho was ejected when it was discovered he was using himself as a test subject for Lyrimony research. Ain Soph Aur has been funding him since not to kick his habit but to continue researching it – that said the Phalanx leaves him well alone and even share knowledge with him in return for copies of his research. He's known for being quite the eccentric genius, roguish and rebellious and known for not showing up for work despite being his own boss, and gives all his benefactors equal trouble. Faceclaim: Hal Emmerich - Metal Gear Solid 4
Algernon F. Stavros – Glasslyn CEO-King – 67 – The second King of Gasslyn, Algernon is a handsome older man with an accent that reflects both his Spanish and English roots. Although he was born into his leadership of Glasslyn, very few could truthfully say that they don't believe that he deserves it - he is a shrewd businessman and was dealing with stocks worth millions while in his teens; as Prince Algernon he controlled many subsidies of his father's company before taking over when his father retired. He is driven by a fierce sense of chivalry and is referred to by some as King Arthur, whose legends he grew up on.
Eulalia K. Stavros – Ain Soph Aur Paladin – 31 – The middle daughter of Glasslyn's Stavros dynasty, Eulalia has always had more interest in piloting than in business. Most teenage girls rebel by dating boys that are bad for them – she's tried that – but her role as almost-princess gives her the capacity to rebel against her father in a much more spectacular way; combined with her strong humanist beliefs, it gave her all the reason in the world to join Ain Soph Aur. She is one of its most public figures, both as an impassioned speaker and as a warrior, piloting her unique Sparrow - one of the first and finest of the Gevurah machines - as a super high energy sniper. Sparrow: Croion (GLY-X000 Wolfblitz XX00 Unique Gevurah Custom)
Hoshea Tellegory – Sans-Culottes Powerhouse Pilot – 36 – Hoshea is Culottes' most prolific hunter-killer pilot, his Goku almost as old as he is and dented so far as to be almost unrecognisable, but he is one of the organization's military powers both at the tactics table and on the front line. He is nearly blind and his machine for a large part sees for him; although it is not made public he is also the organization's head of interrogations and was a medical student in a past life. He has an attitude and a sly grin, but is capable of great loyalty and is quick to make friends. Sparrow: Eleutherios (20076 Goku Gevurah Custom)
Ilsa Maja Walther – Ain Soph Aur Lyrimony Poisoning Postergirl – 34 – Ilsa's Sparrow is a ridiculously high maintenance specialist support type (running a partial Gevurah conversion to jumpstart allied machines); she is not amongst the top tier of pilots but she's one of few good pilots to select a defensive support type by choice. Trauma in her past – bad choices, hers and people close to her – didn't take away her trusting, protective streak but strengthened her possessiveness and defensiveness over her friends. She should have been an artist but became a GM pilot instead until an addiction to Lyrimony made her too difficult for GM to run; ASA recruited her and purchased her old Arms Fort and had it converted. She is half mad, doesn't sleep for days on end, and has the brightest, saddest smile. She is ASA's postergirl for Lyrimony poisoning, broken but fierce. Sparrow: Kanzeon Bosatsu (GM-AF05 Gevurah Custom)
