Another band of mercenaries that the ''Raza'' crew are forced to work with in Episode 10 in order to pull off a heist against Traugott Corporation on behalf of the Mikkei Combine, consisting of Tash, Vons, Cain and their leader, Wexler. They prove to be untrustworthy on all counts after the heist is completed, taking over the ''Raza'' with plans to collect the bounties on the crew and turn the stolen object over to the Volkv-Rusi corporation instead of Mikkei.

* AFatherToHisMen: Downplayed, but whenever one of the crew goes off on their own vendetta she's the one who insists on bringing them back, and emphasizes to the others that they need to trust and rely on each other, as well as avenging fallen members of her crew and feeling guilty if she leads them into danger.

Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and now belongs in YMMV.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Five is occasionally referred to as the "normal" one of the group, however she has a lot of odd behaviours for a girl her age. She's prone to exploring vents for fun, is a savant with technology (both hardware and programming), has a weirdly nonplussed reaction to extremely weird situations such as her dreams about the crew's memories, and often acts younger than she is. Some of this might be because she was originally intended to be a younger teen and was written as such, but even there, its hard not to read her behaviours as signs of being neurodivergent, but nothing is ever confirmed.



** In Season 2, after putting up with just a bit too much crap while in GA custody, she shows no hesitation in ordering the Android to kill everyone in her way. She was also fully willing to shoot her way out if necessary, but she lucked out when she happened upon Three's non-lethal BFG.

* CrazyPrepared: Five has a habit of planning ahead in anticipation of trouble. She is the only one who hid some money in case the ship was raided and she anticipated Nero's attempts to search her room.

* EvilCounterpart: Her AlternateUniverse counterpart in "Stuff to Steal, People to Kill" is an enemy of the crew (who are also evil in that universe). However, in terms of character, Two will only admit that her version of Delaney is mildly more tolerable. Ultimately the counterpart is no more good/evil than the main universe Truffault, but due to the Alt Raza crew never having their memories wiped and subsequently never betraying Ferrous Corp, they never established friendly ties with Mikkei Combine or endeared themselves to Truffault, and with the Corporations in all-out war in that universe they're enemy combatants.

* OnlyOneName: Each of them is only ever referred to by one name. Joe Mallozzi stated on Reddit that "Tash" is Tash's first name and "Wexler" is Wexler's last name, respectively (but not what her last name and his first name are). Whether "Vons" and "Cain" are first or last names remains unconfirmed.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:While it seems most probable that he's the AU version of Corso and not the AU version of Derrick Moss, it hasn't been explicitly stated. Like the primary Corso, he's very evil, has stubble and wears [[ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow eyeliner]] and [[HellbentForLeather heavy black leather]]. However, he wears his hair spiked like One's instead of slicked back like the Corso of the primary universe, in a cut flashback from Episode 13 primary Moss ''was'' worried about being corrupted before he got mindwiped, "secretly gunning" for Portia and Boone could be consistent with an agenda against Boone, and with it being an AlternateUniverse after all, it's conceivable Moss wasn't as nice as his primary self to begin with. When the question of his identity was raised during a podcast Q&A, Showrunner Creator/JosephMallozzi said, "That's a very good point" about how if Alt-Wexler was nicer than his counterpart then Alt-Moss could be less nice, but [[ShrugOfGod neither confirmed nor denied]] whether he was Corso or Moss]]. [[invoked]]
** Wexler's statement about Corso not being with the rest of the Alt crew is ambiguously worded enough that it could mean he didn't come to the primary universe or just that they parted ways as soon as they crossed over. An episode involving him was intended for Season Three but was replaced by "Isn't That a Paradox?" because Creator/MarcBendavid was unavailable. Mallozzi told a user on the Reddit thread for "One Last Card to Play" that "who knows what the future holds" in regards to not seeing Alt Corso in the episode, and by that time Season Three had been completely filmed, which implies he did cross over even if he wasn't featured in that season. Especially since Mallozi's said in the first place that Corso, Wexler and Tash were on the AU crew in order to bring their characters back to the show.
