Etherus

"Carbon or Iron, Organic or Electronic, there is little to no difference. As much as some would like to deny it, organic life is no less mechanical than any Machine."

Etherus is the de facto military leader of the Enclave. Known to have betrayed the Human Empire and Lambda Corp and helping IQ rebuild Star Omega and establish the Enclave.

Etherus is known to command his soldiers with an iron fist, earning respect and fear from his low ranking officials. He is a ruthless leader, but holds a strict moral code, and despite being cruel to his men, he is still very concerned for their well being.

Appearance
Etherus' avatar is an african american man in his late 20's, with no hair and brown eyes.

Career and achievements
Etherus is the current military leader of Steel Collective, but he is trusted as the most skilled military officer in the Enclave military structure. He is a tactical mastermind, capable of engineering the most audacious and effective battle tactics and pulling them off. In a notorious fleet battle between Steel Collective and a pirate faction, he was capable of taking out a Magnus-A class battleship by crashing a Hornet-X into its cargo hull, boarding and taking over the bridge with a small crew of 5 elite soldiers armed with plasma rifle and using it to destroy the remnants of the pirate fleet.

Once, a female AI citizen, who knew Etherus personally, was captured, raped and killed by a raider gang, who filmed and broadcasted the event, causing shock and outrage across Wild Space. Etherus took off in an Ares-A class vessel, alone and without warning, to assault their base, destroying 23 fighter vessels, to avenge the victim. When confronted by the media, he released the following statement:

"The shameless broadcasting of the torture and death of an innocent is an insult to everything I stand for. It is a crime that I simply could not allow to go unpunished. Hopefully, it will send a powerful message to the depraved minds that infest this space."
