Astraion

Astraion is the call sign of a Pallarionix Security operator of Pataliputrian origin first seen in episode #5 of UT Ops. He is one of the two protagonists in this episode, the other being his mission partner with the call sign Nykwan.
== Personality ==
Astraion appears as a young Pataliputrian man of intermediate height and a toned build, with green eyes, a beard and curly brown hair. He wears a dark-blue T-shirt and dark-green BDU pants. His gear typically consists of a combat belt with pouches, drop leg holsters, a beige plate carrier and ballistic knee pads. His preferred accessories are a PAIX-branded black ball cap, a tactical headset and ballistic sunglasses. He primarily uses assault rifles and pistols, mostly with ballistic ammunition, but also has experience with pulse rifles.
Throughout his appearances, Astraion barely speaks out loud and generally stays quiet. He is cool under pressure and stops at nothing to achieve his goals. As demonstrated, he uses lethal force only in self-defence or if absolutely necessary to achieve a result, such as breaking through a barricade.
As a contractor, Astraion mainly takes on search-and-rescue missions, which often puts him around post-conflict zones or even behind the frontlines of active battlefields, where he mostly faces rebel and terrorist opposition or sometimes the Grey Order infantry. Being a PAIX operator, Astraion has protection by such counter-terrorist organisations as Uranio Toxo and can even accompany them if his mission places him nearby.
