0PERATOR-186

== Who is 0PERATOR-186? ==
Aaron S. Orlov or 0PERATOR-186 was a former pilot for The 6-4 and member of the A.D.D. He started playing VRChat in late 2020 and would soon join the 6-4 when he found the group through VRChat Legends Wiki and later The Advocate. 
== Character Lore ==
Born in 2684 on Troy, Aaron was raised on the run by his father, Sasha Orlov, a veteran of the Titan Wars who was wanted by the IMC due to him being a pilot for the Frontier Militia. Aaron was taught a variety of skills by his father including the guerrilla warfare tactics employed by the militia in the Titan Wars. When IMC reinforcements entered the Frontier in 2701 Aaron joined the militia. He would use his father's connections to quickly be chosen for the pilot program.
=== THE 6-4 ===
Several years later Aaron and three other pilots were sent to Typhon to locate a IMC outpost and relay its coordinates back to the Militia. They were ambushed by six IMC pilots and all other pilots besides Aaron were killed, who escaped into the planet's lush jungles. Using the terrain to his advantage he was able trap, kill, and disarm the six pilots. He then sent out a distress signal which was picked up by the 6-4 and was then evacuated and taken to Airbase Descria. He was the lone operator who was able to defeat six IMC pilots and thus earned the nickname 0PERATOR. After he was rescued he felt like he owed the 6-4 and would join them and be assigned to the A.D.D. strike force. 
=== DEATH AND INVESTIGATION ===
On February 5th, 2709 the 6-4 received a contract to eliminate an IMC commander on Cibus from "An Advocate". The A.D.D. strike force was dispatched and found the commander stationed at a IMC outpost. There was a small skirmish between the A.D.D. and IMC forces during which contact with 0PERATOR-186 was lost. Once the mission was completed 0PERATOR's body was recovered with a bullet in the leg and the head. It was initially assumed he was killed by a IMC sniper however upon further investigation it appears that 0PERATOR was dragged across the ground for a short distance making the initial assumption unlikely. Interviews with members of the A.D.D. strike force report that around the time they lost communication with 0PERATOR a ship landed where 0PERATOR's body was found. 
Back on Airbase Descria, 0PERATOR's personal computer was accessed. A log of communication between a certain former section commander and another person going by "An Advocate" were found, which was presumably intercepted by 0PERATOR. Its been speculated that the entire contract was a setup to assassinate 0PERATOR. However no plausible explanation has been given on why 0PERATOR was dragged away from where he was initially shot in the leg. 
=== INVASION OF GRIDIRON RUMORS ===
Since The Advocate began their invasion of Gridiron, rumors have been spread of a simulacrum pilot going by the callsign 0PERATOR-186 working for The Advocate. So far these rumors have not been substantiated besides a photo of a simulacrum and other pilots taken at the recently captured Training Ground Whitehead.
===== **UPDATE** =====
Since then more photos have been found of the previously mentioned simulacrum. These have confirmed the rumors of a contract with the Advocate as he is standing with the theater commander of ADV Sector 13a.
