Julmoth Ran'Obhol
Lovable badass batarian goofball. Not even death can defeat him. Currently living on the Citadel as a security guard for Trask Interstellar.
Allard Kyarlen
A strong-willed, idealistic man who is determined to make a difference in the galaxy. He leads the Trask Interstellar
Paladins and is the commanding officer of the
MSV Utherius.
- A Father to His Men
- All a Part of the Job: Allard doesn't want recognition or accolades for his efforts, he just wants to do the right thing...well, the right thing and aid donations...and funding.
- An Arm and a Leg: Allard loses the former and most of the latter, both on the left side, after being hit by an anti-tank rocket.
- Artificial Limbs: Received a new synthetic left arm and leg as a result.
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Before his critical injury, Allard believed in this. As a result, he was scared shitless when he was given the option to recover quickly with the help of cybernetics. Fortunately, this trope is ultimately averted.
- Cyborg
- Determinator
- Heroic Willpower: He survived getting half of his body blown off, and he was rebuilt within a week! He even got a few upgrades for it!
- It's All My Fault: For a short time, he blamed himself for the Paladins' expulsion from Taetrus.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: He had a huge, high-tech tower shield, until it was turned into shrapnel.
- Neutral Good
- Nice Guy
- Rousing Speech: He gives the crew of the Utherius a doozy of a speech before they leave the Citadel to head to Taetrus.
Allard: That is our role, as the Paladins of Elanus:
we come to guard society and pull it onto its feet, not erect it at gunpoint; to heal and aid, not beat and punish; to go beyond factions and politics, and save all those that we can; to carry onward, when the path seems too grim to follow...for we are the Paladins,
and we shall never forget! - The Captain: Aside from leading the Paladins in general, he is also the squad leader of the Paladins' 'Hammer' combat team, and he commands the MSV Utherius, their home base.
- Theme Naming: Each member of the Hammer combat team has a callsign (each named after medieval equipment) that corresponds to their role. Allard's callsign is "Helm".
The quiet, inscrutable scout-sniper specialist for the Hammers combat team. Formerly Valrix Trulion of the Hierarchy counter-insurgency unit 'Kexaknus,' a cadre of loyalist extremists, reviled for their brutality and renowned for their effectiveness.
- Cold Sniper: Paroc is an excellent sharpshooter, a ruthlessly efficient killer at range. His sniping of numerous Sundowner rebels on Solregit earned him the moniker of "Dusk."
- Lawful Neutral: He was formerly Lawful Evil. Now he's on the fence between the two alignments, though he's leaning towards Neutral.
- Loners Are Freaks
- Not So Stoic: When Ferrus recited Paroc's personal details right in front of him. The turian was floored by this.
- Ominous Latin Chanting: Though not technically Latin, Kexaknus' motto: "Terius. Naz Ultan, Naz Heyrit, Naz Ro-Chahk, Naz Kexaknus," conveys a similar sentiment, especially since they recite it when executing enemies.
- Terse Talker: Almost always applies, both in person and on the boards, though he is occasionally prone to moments of eloquence and elaboration, depending on the subject.
- Theme Naming: Paroc's callsign in the Hammers squad is "Sword."
- The Stoic
- Token Evil Teammate: He's not outright evil, but he's the most ruthless member of the Hammer team, and he's done some pretty nasty things in the past.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Kexaknus embodies the essence of the trope: loyalists who believe in maintaining the Hierarchy's stability by eliminating separatists and radicals, no matter the cost. Past-tense in regards to Paroc, as he has since moved on from active extremism with the disbandment of Kexaknus, though he is apparently unashamed of his past deeds.
- White Mask of Doom: Has a skull-like tattoo on his face.
Memetic Mutation: The aforementioned catch phrase.
