Revenants

The Revenants are a faction of Pilots formerly making up the core of the Axe Gang Bandits, serving as lieutenants under Shi-er during the China War. Revenants were created through Persona Obliteration of captured cyberbrain Pilots using a combination of drugs, brainwashing, and primarily through a method of cyberbrain hacking devised by the AI Morgana. In doing so, Shi-er hoped to recreate her dead GI comrades who fell during the Human-Vannai War.
Unfortunately, as with most experimentations with cyberbrains, the process was far from perfect, and more often than not the process produced zombie-like Pilots with little will of their own. The experience tended to cause greying of the hair as well, making Revenants visually distinguishable. One of the few exceptions to this was the Revenant Han Nu, who's hair color changed but retained some personal motivation, very likely due to Shi-er's memories of and emotional connection to the original Han Nu being much stronger than those of other members of her team.
As the China War went on, more and more Revenants fell out of Shi-er's direct control, including Han Nu. They eventually congregated to a small village hidden within the NLA's borders. A large number of them fell back under the control of Shi-er during the battle with the Gigafort Long Shadow and perished in the fight. The survivors returned to their village to focus on their own rehabilitation. A discussion was held between the ARHK directors later on whether or not to take the Revenant population into the towers, but this was shot down by Director Farkas Horvath due to security concerns, among other reasons.
