Mimeographer

* The Duplicator
* Dark Iron

**Mimeographer**, whose real name is *Sigeberht Cockse*, is now a S.O.L.A.C.E operative who serves as their gun-for-hire mercenary. Give him a target, and he will neutralise it, regardless of the circumstances. As a result, he is the definitive hitman of the vicious corporate contractor, possessing a photographic reflex ability that allows him to copy and adapt his opponents' move, allowing him to either use it against them or to quickly anticipate their moves and defeat them with ease.

Soon enough, he has admitted on stealing an Iron Man Armour, codenamed "Dark Iron"; To simply put, it was customised to fit his tastes and give it a makeover.

## Biography

### Background

Sigeberht Cockse, AKA Mimeographer, was a Black Velvet agent with the unusual superpower to copy the skills and fighting style of his targets and use it against them. However, because to his harsh demeanour and dubious methods, he was dishonourably expelled from Black Velvet with ease. Mimeographer pursued his money on the independent market, selling his skills to the highest bidder, hoping to extract revenge on his former employer one day.

Sigeberht also taught Garett Temeria, an Aryan terrorist, extensive military training and taught him everything he knows to become a "warrior" of his own right.

### Defection

When Laura Smirnoff joined Black Velvet, Magdalene Velveteen assigned her to combat train with Masters. During their sessions, the two quickly realised they were equally matched, though he revealed his ability to mimic others' fighting styles. After weeks of training, Cockse learned to mimic her fighting styles and ballet-based movements almost perfectly.

During the agents' interrogation, Masters made preparations to release them. After gaining access to the release codes and organising a cyber attack on the systems, he mimicked Smirnoff's acrobatics to slip past the security lasers and deactivate the locks. During it, Cockse burned his shoulder on one of the beams, due to the height difference. After Cockse subdued the group, he accused her of the jailbreak, presenting his findings to Velveteen. However, Cockse quickly deduced he was responsible and, after uncovering the injury he received, revealed his guilt to present members.

As Velveteen called for his arrest, Cockse used a magnesium flare to stun the agents and fled. Chased by Smirnoff to the Sigmacarrier, the two fought. Masters was narrowly defeated, but managed to escape by hopping on a hidden Hydra jet plane. Though Velveteen expected they'd catch him soon, they lost trace of him soon afterwards.

At some point over the next five years, Cockse took on the identity Mimeographer and began working as a mercenary, hiring his own group of men to help in contracts. By the time the Defenders were in operation, Black Velvet made the connection between Cockse and the identity.

### A Call to Arms: A-Day

During the preparations for the Defenders Day ceremony, Mimeographer and his mercenaries were hired by Andrea Montgomery to steal a prototype Nextech reactor on the Sigmacarrier. Deciding to distract the Defenders during the event, Cockse ordered the main bulk of his forces to attack the Red Gate Bridge to draw the superheroes away. While the team was distracted, a squadron of the mercenaries would infiltrate the Sigmacarrier and steal the crystal. Mimeographer also acquired various devices and vehicles to help in the conflict, including Pantheon Tanks, Jetpacks and a Sonic Charges.

After Iron Man made his introduction during the main event, Mimeographer's mercenaries began their attack on the Golden Gate Bridge, drawing the members present to the building. After transporting a sonic charge onto the bridge, Cockse made his presence known to the group and armed the detonator. Chased by Smirnoff, the two fought across the bridge to gain the detonator.

As the duel dragged on, Mimeographer began to gain the upper hand, even toying with Laura in both armed and unarmed combat. However, Widow used her Veil of Shadows to turn invisible, allowing her to approach him undetected. Caught off guard, Mimeographer was knocked into a crumbling section of the bridge's road, pinning him down. After disarming the bomb, Widow tried to interrogate the defeated mercenary, though he refused to answer. He was then knocked unconscious by his former comrade and presumably taken into custody.

Despite this, Cockse' distraction ultimately succeeded in drawing the Defenders away, though the group sent to the Sigmacarrier were defeated by Roger. Their presence also activated the Sigmacarrier security protocols, leading it go airborne and react with something in the bay. This ultimately led to the A-Day or D-Day tragedy.

Sometime after the events of A-Day, Mimeographer escaped confinement and was introduced into the ranks of S.O.L.A.C.E. Once again hired by Montgomery, he was hired to help develop their Adaptrons and used as a base for their photographic reflex abilities. Cockse seemed to be angered by the lack of progress during development, going as far as to request that their behaviour protocols be disabled.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

He then worked as a soldier of the megacorporation, enforcing its values to the fullest. Mimeographer rose to become one of the Command Line's most brutal troops, recognised for his cunning and cruel disposition. Notably, he is an extreme fanatic, to the extent where he feels that PROJECT's dominance on the planet has made it a considerably better place. He became so addicted to warfare, however, that he always deploys in all of their operations, even if they are unsuccessful. He occasionally looks for Laura Smirnoff, knowing she has infiltrated their ranks and notified GRIMM-493 about it. Confirming that she is inside the Command Line's ranks, he later took off and attempted to pursue her, only to discover that LILIAN-395 has killed her, much to his silence.

Sigebercht continually served PROJECT until its downfall. Unbeknownst to ANNIHILATOR, he survived. He also found out that they have lost the war, and the presence of their terror is now gone. With nothing to kill for money and a corporation to serve at his interests, he then drifted in and out of consciousness as he got trapped by rubble at the destruction of SUPREME headquarters. He desired to die, knowing that he has no more purpose as the megacorporation that he swore an oath to serve with, has been erased from the surface.

He's not technically a soldier, he is a mercenary by heart.

### Bygone: The Uprising

#### Prelude

Yellowjacket Wolf later discovered him, still stuck in rubble and severely injured. As he awoke, he was given medical attention and genetic enhancements to boost his brain's photographic memory at the advice of SCODOK. The massive leader of S.O.L.A.C.E. demands that he become a member, which he does, knowing that their corporation's sole objective is to bring back PROJECT. This was also the period that he learned of the Corporate Renegades, a society hellbent on rebuilding the megacorporation through any means necessary. He considers it a "fortunate phenomena" to witness a firm and a group working toward the same aim.

#### New Generation of Heroes

Disgusted by the new year and the "G/NEX Day", Mimeographer began to cause trouble in the Panamoan Republic, then S.O.L.A.C.E later started an act of aggression in Ravenclaw, after hearing that the Corporate Renegades have attempted to kill The Trinity as they intent on travelling into Vulcanuschetts, seeking to join the NEW/G. When they all failed to kill the three of them, He began to aim a bow at them, only to be shot by Skullface in the forehead and he was forced to retreat. Back in Ravenclaw, He used his expertise to murder local authorities as the troops begin to deploy more mechas to seize the city.

That was successful until the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic took notice in a whim, and deployed the Army. S.O.L.A.C.E had a fair fight with the nation's forces, but they narrowly lost, until the intervention of an armoured hero, Iron Man; Forcing all remaining troops to retreat, and discard their mechas. Mimeographer later scanned the armour to give S.O.L.A.C.E an idea for future designs to expand their military power. All of them are disgusted as Fiona Vance broadcasted herself and the allies to the free world, announcing the Corporate Renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E as their enemies.

This forced them to operate discreetly. He also helped in the mining of Aether in Vuraki. The mercenary later left when he has to take care of Sigma R&D, killing a few members in the process. The robotics corporation then later blackmailed S.O.L.A.C.E for it, and hired Winslow Systems for their safety, much to Mimeographer's chagrin.

#### Operation: New Troubles

Much to his anger, their efforts on mining Aether, and the convoy a few miles away; Their supply gets halted as someone, has rigged an explosive and killed the renegades. He insists Yellowjacket Wolf to deal with the woman, whom was known as Lunar Frost. However, he was shot and later plummeted in the water. Due to their failure, he meets up with Salazar Progektö. He is surprisingly not disappointed, stating that the reason for the intervention was due to a highly capable prodigy of a hero.

Mimeographer then later made a secret file on her. ~~After finishing the file, he discovered that Lunar Frost is the late Ashe's daughter, and her name is Madeleine. He laughs, claiming that a daughter could never be as capable as her mother. The surviving renegades later came to see him and confirmed that she is far more proficient than he believed, based on their earlier experience fighting her. He takes note of their concerns, intending to murder her someday.~~

#### Brightblasting Adventure

##### Renegades, Now Strike!

Knowing that tampering with the country of Avarshi attracts the seemingly primitive Iceborn population, Mimeographer helps open up a cave that leads to a very large amount of Aether inside. As they all mine the deposits, he informs them that the heroes are back, much to their look of apprehension, In accordance to his preparation, he departs from the renegades and pilots a mega-sized mech known as the WAR MACHINE, also known as "Warbot" in case the renegades are outmatched in the fight.

As the NEXTECH Man bulldozes most of their forces, he later launches the mech in an effort to kill them. He unleashes a series of stomps and using its muzzle-mounted plasma beam, firing it indiscriminately as he sadistically laughs, knowing that the huge machine is a real way to deal with the newer generation of heroes. He catches a sight of their recruit, Lunar Frost. However, he is unable to kill her with missiles as she simply dodged them and used a launcher to damage his mech, which only caused him to damage a portion of Ashe's tomb, ruining his intentions of destroying it to demoralise her daughter and the newer generation of heroes.

##### Mimeographer against the Protégé

As his mech got destroyed and he was forced to climb outside, he then faces Fiona Vance for a duel. He mocks her for being predictable as he dominates her in Hand-to-hand combat, until the latter challenged him with a sword. Mimeographer pulls out his sword and shield to equal her in a fight. Beating her, and was almost able to deliver a killing blow through beheading her, though he gets knocked off his feet when Lunar Frost hit him with a powerful jump kick.

Things changed when Madeleine, aka Lunar Frost, confronted Mimeographer. He recognises her as the capable daughter of the late Ashe and instantly fights her in melee combat, insulting her profoundly by affirming that if he kills her, he will ruin the tomb and her inheritance, which only served to infuriate her. She can match him and even points out that he has a distinct fighting style because his main ability is focused on mimicking his opponent's tactics and using them to oppose them. The latter then gains the upper hand, until she manifests Ashe's legendary Ice Bow into her hands and wields it as a club, eventually disarming him after a fierce fight.

Lunar Frost now challenges him for a one-on-one fight. He recognises her as the capable daughter of the late Ashe and instantly fights her in melee combat, insulting her profoundly by affirming that if he kills her, he will ruin the tomb and her inheritance, which only served to infuriate her. However, she is able to match him as she discovered her signature ability, which forced him to gain the upper hand after getting beaten up by her through Hand-to-hand combat. As he overpowers her and intends to stab her gut, she manifests Ashe's legendary Ice Bow into her hands and wields it as a club, eventually disarming him after a fierce fight.

Much to his surprise, he is shot by arrows on his legs, preventing his movement due to the ice. He witnessed the true successor of Ashe. Madeleine, the Lunar Frost. Seeing that she is capable of using the magical bow of true ice, he attempts to shoot her, but was then disarmed and later fights Mimeographer brutally, consuming herself in rage as the latter continues to insult her mother, causing her to punch him multiple times and later mercilessly stomp his head. Fiona Vance stopped her after her outburst.

He is then left in the cold, seemingly for dead, after the prodigy has viciously assaulted him, suffering a broken nose due to the number of fists and stomps that he sustained from her rage.

#### Unshakeable Revelation

##### Prelude - Alive. Alive.

    Mimeographer awoke from his slumber after Frozia tracked him down after he was left for dead a few months ago. Without hesitation, he requests the location of Lunar Frost, implying that all the heroes are gathered in their base, awaiting their doom as the superweapon is directly above their headquarters. As he demanded the repair of his "fractured" skull, Frozia reveals that he had actually healed himself from within, without the need for medical supplies or surgery to repair the damage. She eventually abandons him to "do what the renegades want me to do" and encourages him to return to S.O.L.A.C.E. Even though he refused, he wanted to stay in the country, likely to have another fight with the prodigy.

That was when a few S.O.L.A.C.E troops was able to find him and escort him to a base, allowing him to return to his best contractor. As expected, SCODOK has inquired him that the renegades have taken a large part of Avarshi under their control, whilst they deal with two super powered nations, the Panamoan Republic and the Aryaine Kingdom. However, he insists on operating at Avarshi instead, as he knows most of the fighting will take place in the cold.

##### The Next Warmother: Longing for a Fight

Mimeographer seeks to have a rematch with Lunar Frost, but knowing that the NEW/G base has been destroyed and the heroes are scattered, he intends to give her an extremely fair fight, with no armour or weapons, just pure hand-to-hand combat. Despite his nature, he is unaware that the young hero is succeeding her mother, which may explain his fascination with the renegades' inability to terrorise and take over Frostvile.

He was then able to track Lunar Frost, surprised to see her with nothing but a sniper rifle, pistol, a knife, a few supplies and wearing a skintight suit instead of armour. Unfortunately, he was unable to subdue and report his findings when the latter threw a grenade at him that forced him to retreat, but he was able to accurately pinpoint her location. The renegades owed him after they managed to capture the prodigy due to a physical fight with Obsidian Rush.

His life was met with bad luck when Skullface managed to shoot him in the forehead with a marksman rifle, knocking him down and was only able to get up after a few hours, with a scar on his forehead as his mask was shot thrice. Compared to everyone in S.O.L.A.C.E, he learns of a conspiracy that the renegades are aiming to cut them off, should they succeed in their takeover of the country. Mimeographer then attempted to find Frozia, only to be helpless as he now stole a jet to fly to the Aryaine Kingdom and the Panamoan Republic to warn SCODOK.

##### The Next Warmother - Warrior v Mercenary

Mimeographer then was able to evade capture from local authorities as he makes his way into Obrinia. There, he managed to meet with SCODOK, whom was surprised to see him reappear as he disappeared for a long time. He only states that it is the work of the legionnaire's prodigy, and warns him not to underestimate her, even going so far to explain that she tends to one-man-army their own troops way back in her introduction due to their own hubris.

It didn't take him long to track down Spartacus Brightspear in the same country and challenged him to a fight. The latter dismisses him, proclaiming that he is a fraud of a mercenary due to his photographic memory that copies his opponents' move rather than using his own style in combat. As they fought, Mimeographer clearly got the upper hand, as he was able to effortlessly counter Spartacus' own attacks and use it against him. He even goes so far to taunt Spartacus that he knows all the moves his opponents throw at him, regardless if it is hand-to-hand, melee combat or the use of ranged combat.

However, he was dumbfounded when Spartacus improvised against him and he lost after receiving a head butt. Spartacus only knows that his knack of analysing his opponents perfectly leave him with a flaw: The inability to anticipate unobserved moves. He was about to be stabbed to end his life, which he only laughed viciously as S.O.L.A.C.E troops now surround him to the point of preventing Mimeographer's death.

##### Fear the Warmother

Mimeographer then orders his fellow S.O.L.A.C.E troopers to remain in place since he means to kill Madeleine, knowing her true background, name, and heritage. He then decides to journey to the Northern lands, most likely to demonstrate to the renegades how to take over Frostvile. Aside from his objective, one person troubles him: Skullface. Mimeographer includes him as one of his top targets because this operative is responsible for shooting him in the head many times on distinct occasions. When SCODOK inquires about returning to Avarshi, he quickly answers that he will kill the Iceborns and make one for his misdeeds, which he has become ashamed of. When he arrives, he marches quickly towards Frostvile.

Mimeographer watches renegades fighting and dying as he makes his way to tribe Clemirosans' land. When a severely injured Nightfall crawls to him with an arrow stuck in her stomach, she urges him to approach the prodigy with caution because the enemy refers to her as their new "Warmother." Mimeographer, for once, comforts her and promises her to be careful when facing the Lunar Frost, because Madeleine is no longer a prodigy, but a full-fledged warrior.

### New Heroes, Another Ultimatum

#### Prelude

As he watched S.O.L.A.C.E fall at the hands ofIron Man, Mimeographer realised that the only way he could make a difference if he ever had to face the legionnaires again was to join the ranks of the Corporate Renegades. Despite suffering nearly a thousand casualties during the conflict in the Northern lands, he knew their numbers were still high. That means he'll have to spend the next few days in the freezing lands of Avarshi once more. Despite his commitment to S.O.L.A.C.E, he seems to have altered his mind, declaring that they are too aggressive to deal with threats that deploy advanced tactics against them, and that the absence of Yellowjacket Wolf in their ranks made their troops stupid.

#### The Calm Before the Storm

Mimeographer established contact with Salazar Progektö, inquiring that he will work for them at the time being. Though Salazar seemed skeptical due to him being affiliated with S.O.L.A.C.E, the renegades point out that he was only for them as a mercenary waiting to get paid when he gets to do a mission. As a result, he is welcomed, but he chose not to enter their hidden, secret base, He then declares that they should all become more skilled and cunning than ever, to finally kill the legionnaires.

He then remarks that one of their members are hellbent on having a rematch against Lunar Frost. Mimeographer then states to join the club. Notably, he inquired about Nightfall, but the renegades dismissed his concern, stating that she went missing after he attempted to save her. He seemed upset by the discovery, but chooses to focus on his final paycheck, which is to kill, the good guys.

Moreover, he does seemed to have a perfect outfit for the situation. When every bit of his plans fail, he has his own Iron Man Armour, which was stolen from Michael Nexima himself and customised it to tailor his preferences and giving it a dark paint job.

#### Salazar's True Power

Mimeographer decided to become opportunistic as he sits on the mountain tops, equipped with nothing but his sword and shield, having discarded his own tactical armour as he intends to fight Madeleine herself, having learned that she became more powerful and influential than ever. He also witnessed the biggest battle in the current century, which takes place in none other than Frostvile. After watching the entire fight, he decides to override the Corporate Renegades' mechas by shutting them down simultaneously.

In return, he communicates with Salazar Progektö, manipulating him with ease by claiming that the Clemirosans have been hunting him, which they have picked him up, but unknown to him, he intends to use them so that they can set up a duel for the Iceborn Warmother. As the renegades have been losing, he now takes the chance after seeing that the Reaper has been defeated, and he saw him falling into the abyss through a pit. Madeleine covers the pit and expects his request.

#### Mercenary v Warmother

He uses his swordsmanship to start the fight, while he sees Madeleine ludicrously use her bow as a melee weapon, even suffering from nosebleed when he got hit from it, which in return he mocks her for it. Mimeographer then resorted to Hand-to-hand combat, which earns his joy as they are both equally skilled, but he noticed her quickly changing techniques, mocking her again, but the latter than confirms that her bow is magical, and she adapts to his ability, pointing out his lack of dedicated skill aside from swordsmanship and tactics.

They both turned the tides against each other multiple times, but he then praises her for her toughness, until he gains the upper hand, only to be shot in the foot with an arrow. In a fit of rage and sadism, Mimeographer wins the fight by brutally stabbing her to the stomach, leaving her to the ground crawling as she slowly suffers.

### Ultimatum: The Dark Iron

Mimeographer later caused some trouble by picking up Salazar after the forces of good have seemingly left, proclaiming that he has a last ditch effort to demoralise them. Salazar then admits that they have failed, and their hope, Phantom Wolf, has been killed. He points out that despite the soldier's demise, he is successful on bringing ANNIHILATOR back from the ashes, and will soon rampage. Without further ado, he puts on his own Iron Man Armour, codenamed "Dark Iron". He has killed a few Clemirosans and destroys a few tanks, but Iron Man quickly tells the three factions to leave as he brought the imposter armour-wearing individual into the secret base, plunging both inside the underground complex.

Dark Iron was ecstatic to test his new armour against him, taunting that his stolen armour is his design and has made upgrades on his own. Iron Man is less than amused, before proceeding to fight each other to the death, a good old fashioned duel like usually witnessed in *Nexonia Prime: PROJECT*. He remarks that Nexima is trying to be unpredictable while fighting with the armour. However, he loses after Iron outsmarts him and uses electro-shock to electrocute Dark Iron inside the armour.

### Death

Mimeographer, the Dark Iron, faced his end at the hands of Iron Man. As he was attempting to break free by punching him and flying through the air, Iron Man then finally delivered the fatal blow by using the Chest RT cannon, blowing a huge hole to his chest at point blank range. The Armoured Avenger then emerges on top of the ruined renegade headquarters holding the useless stolen armour, asking for all photographs, confirming Mimeographer's demise.

His corpse was left to rot in the ruined secret headquarters of the renegades that has been ignored ever since. In spite of this, he became a posthumous member of the Neo Renegade as he has enough intel to supply such organisation in the foreseeable future.

## Personality

> "I know your every move, and style. You got no chance of winning against me!"
>
>

Mimeographer is a consummate professional, known for his meticulous and methodical approach to his work. He takes pride in his ability to adapt and learn from his adversaries, a trait that has earned him his reputation as one of the deadliest combatants in the business. He is patient, often studying his targets extensively before making his move, ensuring he has a comprehensive understanding of their weaknesses and strengths. He appears both intrigued and enjoyed about the possibility of Laura Smirnoff fighting her again in A-Day, which means he enjoys competition with his rival.

One defining aspect of Mimeographer's personality is his desire for worthy adversaries. He relishes the opportunity to face skilled opponents, and he often takes a theatrical and showboating approach to his confrontations. His photographic memory allows him to replicate, anticipate, and analyze his opponents' fighting styles effortlessly, making him a formidable foe in hand-to-hand combat.

Mimeographer is a true mercenary with no allegiances or ideologies. Mimeographer will honour his benefactor's wishes as long as the money is right, which explains his loyalty to S.O.L.A.C.E by simply being paid well enough every time he is sent to any operation. While this may appear to be dishonourable, Mimeographer's professionalism earned him the strange respect of various heroes, warriors, and renegades, making him a decent character overall. His motivation seems to extend beyond financial gain, suggesting that he seeks the thrill of competition and the satisfaction of besting formidable opponents. His love for the art of combat and his desire to push his own limits make him both a complex and dangerous figure.

All in all, Mimeographer is S.O.L.A.C.E's loyal mercenary and has served them until their downfall. Even in his downfall, he will do everything to enact his revenge on the heroes, even if it means going against them alone with no feasible strategy.

## Abilities

Mimeographer injected himself with S.O.L.A.C.E's combat primer, an elaborate modification of the adrenal steroid cortisol designed to unlock the mind's procedural memory potential. This enhanced his natural ability to absorb knowledge instantaneously. This ability is linked to his muscle memory, allowing Mimeographer to instantly replicate the physical movement of peak-level nevians. Mimeographer is not capable of duplicating a physical feat if the effort to do so requires superhuman effort; for instance, while he could view an opponent lifting a bus, he could not do so because his body cannot duplicate the superhuman strength or improving his own durability to allow a comparable feat.

Using these "photographic memory", Mimeographer is highly skilled in various forms of combat, as an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant like Laura Smirnoff, Madeleine Clement and Rachelle Palmer, a skilled swordsman (FIONA-384/Fiona Vance, SHADOW, Gwyneth Forgesteel), a deadly accurate marksman (Gray Wolf with a sniper rifle, Ashe Clement with a bow and arrow, Eion Brightblast with firearms, and SCYLLA-028 with various melee projectiles) as well as displaying a strenuously honed athletic ability. He's also shown the capacity to use every fighting technique he's seen at the same time. After mastering anyone's bodily actions, the Mimeographer can foresee his opponents' next strike.

In addition to his incredible ability to replicate a wide range of combat styles and techniques, Mimeographer exhibits a notable proficiency in traditional Knight combat. He wields a Photon sword with a distinctive orange plasma blade that ignites when in use, creating an awe-inspiring visual spectacle on the battlefield. The sword's unique design and luminous blade make it a formidable and iconic weapon in his arsenal.

Furthermore, Mimeographer employs a circular shield crafted from Nevium, which is renowned as the strongest superalloy on Nexonia Prime. This resilient shield provides him with an exceptional defensive advantage, allowing him to deflect enemy attacks and protect himself effectively in combat. Mimeographer's skill in traditional Knight combat, combined with his remarkable ability to adapt to various fighting styles, makes him a formidable opponent in both melee and ranged battles, enhancing his versatility and adaptability as a warrior.

Mimeographer, who wore his own stolen Iron Man armour nicknamed "Dark Iron," grants him superhuman strength, durability, reflexes, speed, and agility. This enables him to easily kill his opponents using a variety of means, including the armour's raw strength and onboard armament, such as repulsors, missile launchers, shoulder guns, and his own installation of an energy shield for further defensive measures against the enemy.

### Skills

* **Indomitable Combatant**: Mimeographer is an extremely skilled combatant. Combined with his photographic memory, he is able to effortlessly replicate any fighting style, and in doing so, he can easily counter them moves of his foes with perfect accuracy. However, his reliance on using his foes' styles prevent him from using his own style, which can prove detrimental if is not able to observe his opponent's form. Notably, he is able to outmatch Laura Smirnoff and Fiona Vance through hand-to-hand, and match Lunar Frost's skills.

* **Brilliant Tactician**: Mimeographer is a naturally adept tactician. He can easily craft suitable tactics that can turn the situation into his favour. When it goes against his favour, he always had back-up plans, seemingly never losing as a result.

* **Master Swordsman**: Mimeographer's photographic memory grants him proficiency in various forms of combat, akin to some of the most skilled nevian warriors. He is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, swordsmanship expert, and a deadly accurate marksman. His ability to use every fighting technique he has observed allows him to adapt quickly to different combat scenarios. His lack of dedicated combat style is compensated with his innate swordsmanship, the only legitimate skill that he possessed aside from his tactical expertise. He is nearly as capable as Fiona Vance and Gwyneth Forgesteel. His techniques with the sword are derived from ancient swordsmen and knights, making his moves efficient and practical. Perhaps, his level of swordsmanship is equivalent to Brienne CRIMSONITE.

* **Photographic Reflexes**: Mimeographer's abilities are anchored in his photographic memory, which allows him to instantly absorb and replicate knowledge and physical movements. This exceptional memory enables him to mimic the skills and techniques of highly skilled nevian warriors, including hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship, marksmanship, and athleticism. He can watch an opponent's movements and reproduce them with incredible accuracy. Alongside his enhanced memory, Mimeographer can predict his opponent's next moves by analyzing their fighting style. This predictive advantage provides him with a significant edge in combat, allowing him to counter his adversaries' attacks effectively.

### Weaknesses

* **Ability Reliant**: Mimeographer's ability to instantly absorb and replicate knowledge and physical movements makes him highly adaptable, but it also means he lacks a clear specialization. He is proficient in a wide range of combat techniques but excels in none of them, except swordsmanship. This deficiency can be a significant vulnerability, particularly when facing opponents who switch techniques rapidly during combat. Mimeographer may become overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information he needs to process, making him less effective in combat scenarios that require specialized skills.

* **Inability to Mimic Non-Superficial Powers**: Mimeographer is unable to duplicate any foe's powers. He may, however, duplicate physical characteristics associated with their powers. When he faced Iron Man before gaining his own identical armour, he managed to shatter his arms after seeing the former and attempted to lift a truck unsuccessfully. In conclusion, Mimeographer may mimic his opponents' movements and combat style, but not their powers.

## Trivia

### General

* Mimeographer admits that S.O.L.A.C.E became his most favourite corporation to work with.
* Mimeographer, with his remarkable ability to mimic combat techniques, has served as a soldier within the megacorporation for an extended period. He has participated in virtually every combat operation PROJECT undertook and managed to survive each one, even when the war was eventually lost, leading to PROJECT's fall in late 3025. His uncanny knack for survival is a testament to his impressive combat skills and adaptive memory that made him live a bit longer in the new era.
* Mimeographer partially used to be a Black Velvet agent.
* Mimeographer shares a long-standing rivalry with the PROJECT warrior Laura Smirnoff. However, he never had the opportunity to settle the score with her, as LILIAN-395, another formidable member of PROJECT, killed Laura in June 3005. Despite this, Mimeographer played a pivotal role in breaking Laura's infiltration into the military, specifically the Command Line. This led to the Red Widow's at the hands of PROJECT's aggressive female enforcer, LILIAN-395. The rivalry and their unfinished business add depth to Mimeographer's character and history.
* He particularly favours a "knight" melee combat style, evidenced by his sword and shield.
* Envy of Michael Nexima's technology, which he even suggested S.O.L.A.C.E to upgrade their war machines to match his armour's power. As expected, they all fail to steal the armour designs.

### Developmental Notes

* Mimeographer is inspired by Taskmaster.
* His biography alludes to his former affiliation with the Black Velvet.
* He is a borderline psychopath. When he helped Nightfall to her wounds, it was done purely out of his mind.
* Sigebercht is a descendant of a royal family that has been disgraced. This means, the outlandish family name of Cockse was a prestigious house in the medieval ages.
* Mimeographer serves as a satirical and personal take on the Marvel anti-hero/villain Taskmaster, whose photographic reflexes are mirrored in Mimeographer's abilities. This creative inspiration adds an intriguing layer to his character, showcasing his adaptability in battle and his role as a versatile, adaptable adversary or ally in the *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles*.
* Even before he learned to mimic and predict his enemies' future movements, Mimeographer's fighting skills were highly excellent. His fighting prowess is on par with that of many seasoned warriors from Valenthia, Nordival, and even Avarshi. The problem only became worse when he developed his trademark power, which has the drawback of giving him photographic reflexes and causing him to rely more on his adversaries' techniques than his own.
