The Odd Character Out

I agree about Deande, but not about Phoebe. Kleese was the first one Ghalt recruited, and he’s the one who brought most of the LLC recruits (including Phoebe) to Ghalt’s attention.

I wonder how Phoebe’s family feels about her being part of the Battleborn. Are they proud that there’s a Hemsworth representative in the fight for Solus, or do they think field work is below their status?

A lot of people don’t like their boss. Doesn’t stop making said boss, you know… their boss.


I’ll give you guys Phoebe, as she’s certainly the most pragmatic of the bunch (she helped find Kelvin a body, after all).

Phoebe is the highest ranking LLC member there is. While Kleese is certainly LLC, he’s not that amazing of a leader it seems. I think if Ghalt knew Phoebe existed at the same time he knew Kleese existed, he would have hired her before him.

And yet Kleese is a former CEO and guides every story mission…:thinking:

He was CEO for 45 minutes. IIRC, that was a mishap and he wasn’t supposed to be CEO anyways.

I also get that he guides (most) of the story missions but he looks like he’s just there for tech supervision. Ghalt and Deande seem to do most of the organizing and behind-the-scenes work (Deande does more BTS stuff obviously)

Thanks for clearing that up. :slight_smile: The more you know.

I’m all out of likes, so take this instead :heart:

I’d agree with your list, but I’d say that Toby is the odd one out in the Rogues. He’s a goddamn talking penguin.

Also, [quote=“SageWindu, post:1, topic:1563366”]
she uses a sword and shield - of Jennerit make to boot

I’m pretty sure they were made by the Eldrid. She was an Eldrid operative who worked within the Jennerit as a spy, and is now in the UPR. lol Her lore is the most confusing thing I’ve heard in a while.

I liked Gali’s lore better back when we all believed she and Ambra had been lovers.

And then Varnell had to go and ruin it with his so-called “canon”

Wait, they weren’t? LAAAAAME.

From her lore about her sword and shield-
“Uses the hilt of a standard-issue arbiter energy weapon, but the blade appears to have been modified after it’s initial fabrication. Informed speculation suggest jennerit influence in the blade’s design, some going so far as to speculate that the legendary blade smith Verod Rath had a hand in its crafting”

And also, her acting undercover would make her an outlier in the UPR, she isn’t a soldier she’s a spook

Truuuue. Man, my memory sucks lol

Galilea is top spoop

The AMA or whatever it was?

Eh, at least GBX isn’t leaving actual important info in outlying sources like a lot of Japanese companies do (or, say, Destiny). So there’s that, I guess.

For rogues, I would say Reyna. She’s the only one without mental issues, she’s just a rebel leader who has a very good ability to get sycopaths, sociopaths, rage fueled and bi-polar nut jobs to work and live together.

Melka is the only eldrid with the ability to focus on the big picture, that’s why she quit working for the observers and joins Ghalt then gets the others to join. The rest are either too single minded or too wrapped up in their own things to care much about the battleborn.

Atticus is the only Jenerit who could care less about doing the will of the queen. Even Caldarius, being a former soldier and then prisoner under Rendain’s rule, cares more about the empire being more the way it used too.

Galilea obviously because she was only Jenerit to spy on them and only UPR because Ghalt found her and gave her a reason to keep fighting.

Eldragon because he only uses some of their tech. He doesn’t fit into the high societie or noble/rich atmosphere and he’s not an inventor or a magus, he’s actually very likely looked down apon some by the team (except kid ultra because super over the top hero thing), with the ‘core’ hierarchy of the llc seeing him as little more then a low brow customer.

I’d say that, as a thief, she qualifies as a kleptomaniac… :smirk:

Shayne and Foxtrot have mental issues? Also, she’s quite literally the leader of the Rogues…

I completely missed this.
No seriously, I completely missed this.
I have no idea where this was confirmed.
Can anybody point me in the direction of this little tidbit?

When RV was asked in an AMA if the game has any LGBTQ characters, he said they were Shayne, Reyna (bi apparently), and Mellka (who RV “thinks” is gay but who is working things out or something)

Conspicuous absence of our favourite frenemies…

Thank you. I should… probably check out the AMA more often on Discord.

Huh. Wouldn’t have guessed Reyna.

And they weren’t listed so I guess…
Oh… but he didn’t specifically SAY they weren’t though either. And it’s not actually in the lore is it?
So… I can continue to write whatever the hell I feel like with my headcannon love triangle between Galilea, Ambra, and Alani just like I continue to write “book club” as WHAT WE ALL KNOW IT REALLY IS…

I’ve always viewed that like Orendi’s crush on Toby; not confirmed, but it’s the popular and official-in-all-but-being-confirmed theory.

Also, we all know that Toby and Benedict are the the favorite frenemies…
