General Deuce

General Deuce is a masculine cyborg and the last of the Cato. He is an esteemed general in the Vorpal Legions and fought against the oppressive Ashatos Republic as he was instrumental in defeating it. He was also key in the war against the Victrons and assisted Ioras Shard in the final defeat of The Darkening Mind. He was close friends with Xebec Hawk, and is close friends with Queen Exia and Shard. He is currently married to Ferren.
Born at an unknown date, Deuce initially fought as a soldier in the initial Darkening Mind/Cato War, however was captured and frozen as prisoner of war, leading to him surviving the Cato genocide. Eventually, he was found by the Ashotos republic many generations alter, and was brainwashed and turned into a ruthless mind on the battlefield. However, upon being seized by Reformist operatives, namely Xebec Hawk, some of the enhancements were removed. This led to him gaining free will once again, and as such decided to work with the Reformists to help topple the government, which, after many battles, he did. 
Deuce continued to serve in the Vorpal Legions long after the Republican war, and also married his wife, Ferren. On one assignment, he and Xebec visited Vorpal Monkey, who gave a prophecy that one day the Darkening Mind will rise again. This allowed Deuce and Xebec to try to raise up the Vorpal Legions in order to one day be able to tackle on such a big threat. However, this preparation was ultimately shifted to help tackle an unseen conflict, being the Victron War. 
In the Victron War, Deuce was assigned young Vorpal prodigy Exia to serve alongside himself and Commanders Mar Hesron and Ama Felsen. They fought in many battles in the war, and he grew a close bond with Exia. However, this became strained upon the death of Hesron and the discovery of the manipulation of Felsen, which Deuce was partly responsible for. 
After Hesron had died and Felsen had left due to feeling betrayed, Ioras Shard was assigned to him as Captain, alongside Exia. The bond between him and Exia continued to be strained, however this was eventually rectified when Deuce was captured in a mission to the Victron home planet. Deuce eventually was saved, and the factory was destroyed. However, this was at the cost of Colonel Fortan, who was a longtime ally of Deuce. 
Deuce fought in the rest of the Victron War, in which he was key to the defeat of the Abominations. Shortly after this, however, Exia was summoned to leave him and become Queen of Jayto. Due to the close, paternal bond, Deuce revealed his Cato nature to her before she left to rule her people. 
Deuce and Shard began to know each other better upon Exia leaving them. Eventually, Amos Kinn, Lennox, the Believer and Erin Linkra were assigned to him and Shard. This squadron worked in mopping up remnants of the Victrons, and eventually fought alongside Deuce at the arrival of the Darkening Mind, although this was temporary for Erin, who was killed in the early days of the war, leading to her sister, Casulana, joining the foray. During the Darkening Mind conflict, Deuce and Shard began to heavily bond. It was in this war in which Deuce’s Cato identity was revealed, in a mission to the ruins of Kartos, in which the Purple Matter army designed to defeat the Darkening Mind were converted into soldiers by Deuce's sworn enemy, Wrothan Fenra. Despite their victory in gaining the army, Deuce and his squad were able to remove the Darkening Mind from Kartos, establishing a base on Kartos for the Vorpal Legions. 
Not long after this, Deuce had to console Ioras Shard, after his sister, Elysia, fell to the Darkening Mind. Deuce helped to tackle a rogue Daygron, taken to Xebec's library in a reckless move to bolster forces. Deuce shortly after received a vision from Vorpal Monkey, telling him that he would have to confront his past at some point soon. After this, an attack happened on Xebec's library, and Xebec was lost, devastating Deuce. In the subsequent year, Deuce and his squadron were able to create a craft to escape the blockade over Earth, journeying to the base on Kartos. It was after this that Shard found out that Deuce was aware of the prophecy. To test Deuce, Shard sent him o n a mission with Lennox to save war tourists, to see if Deuce would be willing to rescue what he would call 'reckless fools'. After this, Deuce began to become more compassionate, and less mission focused. 
It was at this time when, in the hunt for Erin Lintra, Deuce was attacked, and his old memories were restored. Upon finding out that he served in the Cato/Darkening Mind War, the conflict had now become far more personal to him, determined to avenge his people and live up to the Legacy of the Cato. His confidence was further boosted when he discovered his friend, Fortan, was alive again, and was liberated by Deuce and his squadron. Shortly after, Deuce received a vision of Xebec Hawk, leading him to a cover of Daygron's on Kartos. Deuce learned to master riding them like his ancestors did, and was able to put this knowledge to good use upon the arrival of Nioas, asking for Deuce's assistance in retaking Jayto. 
He assisted Exia in liberating her homeworld in the Second Battle of Jayto, riding his Daygron into battle. After this, an assault on the Darkening Mind homeworld was made, and Deuce sent in the entire Daygron covern. Due to their ties to Kartos, the Daygrons were able to liberate the Purple Matter soldiers, who turned on the Darkening Mind forces and helped in taking the Capital of the Darkening Mind homeward. Deuce also duelled against Fenra one more time here, killing his rival and being assured in living up to his Cato Legacy. Deuce finally fought in the last battle against the Darkening Mind, assisting Shard in the liberation of Earth, a final push involving all of the allies made in the two conflicts. It was in this battle that the Darkening Mind was destroyed, and the war was won. 
Deuce continued to serve in the Vorpal Legions, long after the defeat of the Darkening Mind, partially in Xebec's name. Eventually, however, he spoke with Nioas, who reminded him that Xebec would have wanted Deuce to stop fighting and eventually settle down. After hearing this, Deuce decided to retire, choosing to rebuild Xebec's Library on Kartos.
== Physical Appearance ==
For the longest time, Deuce’s physical appearance was a mystery to all, with sparse few knowing what was under his iconic helmet. However, his identity as a Cato was exposed, showing that he had a deeply scared grey Cato face, with cybernetic augments. He is shorter than many of the elementals, however he is considered tall for a Cato. 
== Personality ==
Deuce has been attributed to his stern demeanour, yet kind heart beneath. He has a sharp wit, and is a genius in military combat. Many who know Deuce gain his respect immediately, and is able to command with conviction. Despite a general positive atmosphere surrounding him, Deuce can be somewhat morally grey when making some decisions, particularly those surrounding Ama Felsen and Elysia Shard.
