=== Attelus Kaltos ===
{{quote| ''[[Deadpan Snarker|"I am not a partier I am an assassin, who kills people for a living and it being the dangerous job it is and that I would quite like to live past my twenties, I spend every waking hour training. Making sure I have the necessary skills to live to see the next day".]]''}}
 
The main character is a young apprentice assassin whose father, Serghar Kaltos, was perhaps the greatest assassin to ever set up shop in the Calixus Sector. Attelus has to constantly live in his father's shadow. Born and raised in the recently discovered Agri world Elbyra, he is a bit more idealistic and kind than an assassin should be but this could soon change. He is a chain smoker but ironically is strongly against the use of harder drugs.
Line 15:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: whether Attelus is cute or not is up for interpretation, but to break him mentally seems to be Glaitis' main objective. But so far she is losing.
* Catch Phrase:
{{quote| "Just in Case."<br />
"Quite depressing really."<br />
"The first time, in along time."<br />
"That's the understatement of the century/Millennium/Millennia."<br />
"I could hazard a guess." }}
* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: Even [[Lampshaded]] by Glaitis.
{{quote| '''Glaitis''':"I know you young Attelus, to all but the most educated you seem...chaotic, strange, random but you really are not. There is some [[Hamlet|method to your madness]]. Some surprisingly sane reasoning as to why, ironically nothing like your father who was always as straight and narrow as anyone can get, that is a trait I can admire, one that would help you if you ever meet the requirement of making you a full fledged assassin...That is if you live that long of course, but for me it makes you predictable."}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: It would be a hell of a lot harder to understand Attelus' actions if they were shown from another character's perspective; it's hard even when it's ''from'' his perspective.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: One of the very first things Attelus does is kick a ganger in the shin, with a ''boot knife''.
Line 32:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Attelus is up to [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] levels.
** One example: When confronted with a ganger who puts [[Honour Before Reason]], Attelus betrays the guy, and when he shoots the ganger he shoots him many times to make sure that he was actually dead.
{{quote| "I knew it was over kill but these "Honour Before Reason" idiots were usually tough bastards and that was the only way I could make sure he wasnt ever getting back up."}}
** His genre savviness is used as a character flaw: {{spoiler|his reaction to Elandria's death shows that he kind of knows he's the main character and is therefore highly selfish and paranoid}}.
* [[Hidden Depths]]
Line 58:
 
'''Elandria'''
{{quote| ''"Well if you call me “dear” one more time you will find yourself sorely lacking a head."''}}
 
She was recently employed by Glaitis. Though she is the same age as Attelus, she holds the rank of full assassin and is extremely ruthless while at it.
Line 65:
* [[Blood Knight]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
{{quote| "What are you doing?"<br />
"What ever." }}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 76:
* [[Neutral Evil]]
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: The moment is [[Lampshaded]] by Attelus' narrative.
{{quote| '''Elandria''': So what is it that you improvise now oh you magnificent bastard you?<br />
I looked over my shoulder at her shocked, was that an actual joke? A backhanded compliment perhaps? Or something else entirely? }}
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: Even while amped up on combat drugs.
Line 85:
 
'''Garrakson'''
{{quote| ''"And kid if you want to sheath your blade in her may I suggest using your “other” blade instead."''}}
 
A senior mercenary of Taryst's organization, he is an ex-guardsman, an explosives expert, and the leader of Elandria's and Attelus little squad.
 
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{quote| "I don’t know sir, meaning that they are either still lying in the pools of blood we left them in or in a Magistratum mortuary either/or."}}
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Despite them breaking up before the events of Secret War, it's implied that he's still in love with Taryst, so don't mess with Taryst, ever}}.
