* TheMole: Quain is the rebel's contact with the Machinists' Guild in the last third of the story. Although he's ultimately a relatively minor character, beyond [[PetTheDog generally being nicer and kinder than most of the more-amoral ones willingly working for Macaan as long as he signs their figurative checks]], his kindness to Chiro and treating him like a person instead of a disposable machine-part, ultimately stimulates [[spoiler: feelings of guilt in Chiro when he betrays Quain on orders, and inspires the Breed to [[HeroicSacrifice destroy himself]] to eliminate the pulse hammer attracting {{Kaiju}} out of the sea, foiling Macaan's last genocidal plans and saving all live on the continent.]]

By the time he sees she's alive, he's too far gone to read her refusal to be further part of his plans as anything but a betrayal.]]

* {{Cyborg}}: Machinists and their workers are characterised by their mechanical augmentations. The master of the guild is outright more machine than organic, in fact. Similarly Jachyra are extremely augmented resonants, with very little of their organic bodies remaining.
