Arc

A too-pink twenty-year-old in underwear with lights at his temple (ch. 42); a personal guard of cyborg drop troopers (ch. 31); a castle of shifting honeycombs and sentry dogs, and a cybernetic drake named Calliope (ch. 79). He escapes War Crime as a robot fly, installs himself in the drake, and dies when the castle's mini nukes bring her down: 'hiding in the worst possible place' (ch. 80, ch. 81). The Reavers will scrape another from the Initial (ch. 79).
