Hahah.. ok what about thameris the hacker with journalist.... probably screwed his name up.. I didn't see him either
Note: For those who do not know, the replies are based on what transpired in the historical story of the Illiad. While the definitive CB Fluff on the characters who disappeared with this update has not been published, we have a good guess on what happened.
"Truth is the first casualty of war." - the journos are the first to go. If you have no one to report on your crimes, did they really happen?
Patroclus may have good chances to be KIA, from the hand of the CA so no back-up of the cube. Achilles must be super pissed off. Thamyris could be dead, or could simply be removed from the front and continu the propaganda duty in other ways. Diomedes is another beast, because his background revolve around his many deaths and the fact he makes an external cube recording before each mission (and doing so not remembering how he is dead, each time). You don't just "kill" him. Maybe he was sepsitorized but even in this case, the external back-up could work unless the whole network was compromised (ALEPH's rules are very strict about that, you can ask to Perseus).
Thamyris has digivolved into Pandora. Thamyris: MOV: 4-4 CC: 17 BS: 12 PH: 12 WIP: 14 ARM: 1 BTS: 3 W: 1 S: 2 AVA: 1 Equipment: Hacking Device (UPGRADE: Zero Pain) Special Skills: Courage, Journalist L2, No Wound Incapacitation. Pandora: MOV: 4-4 CC: 17 BS: 12 PH: 12 WIP: 14 ARM: 1 BTS: 3 W: 1 S: 2 AVA: 1 Equipment: Hacking Device (UPGRADE: Zero Pain) Special Skills: Courage, Dodge (-6), No Wound Incapacitation. Even the weapons are very similar, Pitcher, Pulzar... They have kept the character, they have updated the profiles a bit and to be able to give it to Hassassin Bahram... they have changed the name. That is all that has happened with Thamyris.
Yes,.different model for money, without work for different profile; but at least Thamyris was avaiable in vanilla Aleph... the faction have lost an hacker without nothing in exchange.
