Duncan (CAS)

William's teammate during the attack on Fabrication Plant 12. Not to be confused with Duncan. Never seen outside of his suit, but discernible from William in that he's a brash idiot.
In the attack on Site 12 (Fabrication Plant 12) to disable Elizabeth, William and Duncan encounter an Inlay (Jessica) marked with three crowns instead of the normal C.A.S. thunderbolt. Their commander discovers it is King Arthur's coat of arms and, realising the Inlays are active rather than empty shells, orders them to get out of there, just as Jessica attacks. William hits her with a flux grenade to knock her out, and Duncan finishes the job by planting a bomb in her before she can recover.
This makes the other Inlays furious, only to be ceased by William's offhanded comment about having a friend who was an A.I. King Arthur overhears the comment and uses it as a prompt to calm down the Inlays by asking William to tell them more about the friend A.I.
After William relays his story, he says that he never understood why his friend A.I. chose to kill himself when he could have avoided it, and Arthur explains that no one could put trust anymore in an A.I. who had killed. Arthur also taps into the A.I.'s black box and shares the A.I.'s experiences with the Inlays, revealing why he decides to spare William's life. However, Duncan does not get the same benefit, and he seals his fate with his remark "...that was just a mindless Bishop class!" He is chased into the room of Tristan, who is more than happy to exterminate Duncan.
