Was a slave set to be a pit fighter in Kaon; ended up being chosen for his long-distance skill as the executioner and shepherd. Killed unsatisfactory competitors, prevented escapes, and chased down escapees; was trained to stay hidden to avoid being killed mid-event by competitors. Was treated just as cruelly if not more so than fighters, by both citizens and fighters themselves, since his job was seen as cowardly, selfish, and a betrayal. Megatron took him on the team; had more respect for him than others because of the devotion and lack of empathy required for his job. Trained him in more military-style stealth and sniping. Had a respectful but distant (and likely tense) relationship with him. Lost contact on a mission, presumed dead.

• Acquires Autobot shuttle and wanders the galaxy for millennia trying to find Decepticons again; sensors eventually pick up the Nemesis’ signals; Megatron shoots it down since it’s an Autobot vessel, then sends someone to investigate; they find him unconscious and severely damaged
• Strong believer in the original Decepticon morals; equality for all, respect for all living things, anti-slavery/oppression
• Horrified to find how corrupted Megatron and the Decepticons have become
• Becomes friendly with Soundwave, confides in him and mentions his concerns
• Finds out his suspicions are correct, confronts Megatron, expects Soundwave to back him up, hurt and angry when he doesn’t, leaves without telling anyone
• Stays on his own for a while, spies on the Autobots to see how they’ve changed since he was lost
• Eventually joins up with them since they’re fighting for what the Decepticons were originally fighting for, and they protect humans
• Fights Eradicons easily, and most officers reluctantly, refuses to hurt Soundwave
