EAGLE

EAGLE, born Nicolas Adler, is a central antagonist in Dust & Argon. An agent of the Aviary, pilot of the Corsair series, and constant schemer, he serves a mysterious agenda referred to as 'The Plan' as the Regional Administrator of M-CORE.

Character Description
Five-foot-ten and wiry, EAGLE is easily identified by his white mask, which is form-fitting to his head and completes encloses it. The mask adds mild post-processing to his vocal profile, and is heat-, cold-, and bullet-proof. At the time of this writing, his facial features are completely unknown.

EAGLE prefers to wear British-cut suits, oftentimes a three-piece, and accessorizes with Western bowties and neckties to complete his ensembles. He is never without a pair of gloves, often brown leather or white parade gloves.

As a Regional Administrator of the Aviary, EAGLE is often condescending and prone to dry wit and sarcasm. He presents an air of command and control, and is openly disdainful of 'meddlers'. Never one to show his hand until the eleventh hour, he is only violent when needs be, and has often shown something akin to mercy to the party when their deaths were not strictly necessary.

Behind the mask, EAGLE's true goals are as yet unknown...

Fictional Background
Nicolas Adler was born on the Seychelles space colony in the Side 2 colony cluster. He emigrated to the Earth with his parents in the AD 2290's, and enlisted with the United States Air Force shortly before the breakout of World War IV. Nicolas served for the entire four-year duration of the conflict as an Armor Frame pilot with the 117th Irregulars. After the signing of the armistice that ended formal combat, Nicolas lost his sister over the Strait of Gibraltar when her MEDEVAC transport was shot down; he subsequently resigned his commission and was recruited into INTERPOL's antiterror AF corps in 2312.

During an extensive search-and-capture op, Nicolas discovered [REDACTED] alongside Alice Lord of MI6. Both of them were [REDACTED] and now serve [REDACTED] as Regional Administrators of the Aviary, replacing [REDACTED] as part of the secret faction's cyclical operating procedure.

Campaign History
Nicolas first appeared in Dust & Argon Session 2, menacing Los Langaros at the docks of San Jose in his bid to acquire the Djeeta AI. Shortly after, he assisted the team in infiltrating LogiCal's hidden weapons tech factory beneath Seattle for unknown reasons. Some time later, he was encountered during Session 6, opposing Los Langaros until the two sides reached a mutual agreement that would allow for the completion of their missions.

Character Skills, Abilities, and Equipment
Nicolas Adler is an accomplished AF pilot who specializes in close combat duels and psychological warfare; his skill behind the controls of a mobile weapon is second only to that of Antonio Cervantes (which is less an indictment of Nicolas's abilities and more an appraisal of Tony's). As a former commissioned officer of the United States Air Force, he has all training implied by this association, and has received additional demolitions and CQC training from his peers within the Aviary.
