Apex

Apex is a character in .
==Biography==
Nadia and her Trauma Team squad were tasked with a priority extraction mission in Pacifica; to rescue a Platinum member known as Apex. Upon arriving at the abandoned skyscraper, the medic group found Apex pinned down against his gang rivals. A firefight soon followed between the Animals and Trauma Team. After watching the client's face, Nadia recognized Apex as the man responsible for the deaths of her former team.
The squad's lead EMT, Knapp, proceeded to rescue the client and requested Nadia's immediate attention. She was reluctant to help Knapp tend to Apex's wounds, and instead attempted to save her colleague's life. This resulted in a failure and her getting a reprimand from Knapp. Stratter called for fire support and Withers answered and repositioned their AV to provide backup, but was quickly shot down by gang members. Taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, Stratter and Knapp charged at the attackers fiercely, though it was Apex who finished off the last two of them. Once the threat had been dealt with, Nadia put her pistol to Apex's head.
Her hand was swiftly stopped by Stratter. Haunted by the memories of her deceased boyfriend, Dodds, she revealed the truth about the massacre of her former teammates. As they were walking down the stairs towards the exit, Apex explained that the extraction wasn't going to be easy because he had previously infuriated the gang by killing their beloved boss. He taunted Nadia, urging her to end him. Knapp tried to comfort her, but suddenly got shot as they were ambushed. Desperate to save Knapp, Nadia carried him out of the scene with Apex's aid. The injured medic, however, bled out shortly after. Devastated, Stratter shouted at Nadia, blaming her for his death, but was interrupted when he realised that Animals had found their hiding spot.
Apex asked Nadia for stims, promising to help them get rid of the gangoons. He then went on a killing spree in the corridor.
Soon after the three managed to reach the exit, Stratter confronted Nadia again, saying she was obviously not ready to return to active duty and threatening to end her career at Trauma Team. His neck was abruptly snapped by Apex. He claimed to have done Nadia a favour by killing the person who wanted to ruin her life.
Another group of Animals emerged from the building and chased them to a dead end. She saved Apex due to him having lost a fight against a massive man, whom she then shot in the head. More hostiles arrived, but so did a rescue Trauma Team AV. It opened fire at the enemy, killing most in the span of seconds. The AV landed, and several soldiers were dispatched to assist Nadia and the client. She once again aimed her pistol at Apex. He didn't resist, seemingly content with the turn of events. She had visions of Dodds telling her not to do this, but she chose to shoot anyway, just as the other soldiers were about to fire at her.
