Mendes-3
Mendes-3 is an augmented human and the operator of Haruspex Station, an independent space station that serves as a major black market and hub for criminal activity across the Falconsky heliosphere. Although subject to several dozen arrest warrants and bounties, no known images of Mendes-3 exist.
The extent of Mendes’s cybernetic enhancements, their appearance, and their personality have all become the subject of rumor and legend within the criminal underworld, with most claiming that Mendes-3 inhabits some kind of life-support capsule with extensive zeotech hardware installed to allow them to interface with the rest of Haruspex Station. According to some former security contractors, all of the zeoforms that guard the inner sanctum of Haruspex are piloted by clones of Mendes, who share a z-link to the original, though this is unsubstantiated.
According to introductory videos shown to visitors of the Station, Mendes personally handles the majority of transactions on Haruspex, matching buyers and sellers as well as clients and criminal contractors, such as assassins, spies, or hackers. It’s speculated that Mendes is able to operate in ‘pure Z’ for long periods of time, allowing them to navigate and optimize the web of transactions occurring at any given time. Mendes-3 is known to have ties to powerful smuggling operations, including the Tekiya, as well as integrationist factions such as the Bakta Sakaikya.
