GATES
GA
The completely unhinged, theatrical commander dispatched by Amalgam to orchestrate a localized global conflagration. He listens to classical music on headphones while callously executing his own subordinates for minor structural errors. His unpredictable mood swings and erratic combat methodology make him a deeply terrifying dark mirror to the disciplined military forces trying to preserve the peace.
