**Amadeus Eleison**, previously **Sagan Arin Digranto**, is a grizzled veteran of the Meran War, the Belial War, the Bernauerstad Independence War, and multiple other conflicts as both a soldier for the Special Atmospheric Task Force of the Coalition Forces Authority's Interstellar Coalition Space Navy and the Hinata Security Company of the Hinata Group. He is also a former member of the militant Christian Holy Army for the Salvation and Liberation of Humanity, and has currently changed his name and a majority of his appearance to evade the attention of all three groups. He is rumored to be in the early stages of cyberpsychosis as a result of his mass cyberization.

Currently, Amadeus resides in a vast shantytown within Ningzhou on Hyperion, and works as a gunsmith for local buyers regardless of their affiliations. Originally turning to atheism from Catholicism shortly after becoming a SATAFOR operator, his violent departure from the Hinata Security Company as a result of realizing both his own sins and the great conspiracies at play with the Hinata Group lead him back to Christianity. Even after leaving the HASLH on grounds of disagreeing with their wider dreams of global religious revolt, he still maintains the fire of faith in his heart, and lives on in repentance of his past crimes and ego.

He is also the adoptive father of Aurora Eleison — a netrunner who was taken under the man's wing following her near-death experience and abandonment by her old associates in Ningzhou.

## Biography

Sagan was born and raised on Tellus in a Catholic orphanage; being an orphan and of lower class, Sagan did not receive the full benefits from education and opportunity that his peers elsewhere had. In 2651, when he was fifteen, the beginning of the Meran War gave Sagan an opportunity to make money and a sense of direction for himself; thus, in the September of 2652, Sagan joined the Interstellar Coalition Space Navy and worked hard to pass the basic training mandated for sailors.

### Military service

Eyeing boots-on-the-ground combat experience after dissatisfaction while posted on Coalition starships, Sagan applied for training to enter the Special Atmospheric Task Force, or SATAFOR, and graduated their training programs at the age of eighteen due to a mixture of excellent physical and mental aptitudes combined with a dedication to the Coalition's cause. Joining SATAFOR Team 101, he earned the call sign "Mephisto", short for *Mephistopheles*.

His involvement in the SATAFOR would bring him not only to Mera, but also to Tupã Prime, Moñái, and the first stages of the invasion of Belial. Suffering through grueling deployments and both spectating and participating in the worst of war crimes and battles, his faith in God vanished from both a feeling of superiority to an unseen God and a rejection of a deity's existence from all the death and destruction he had seen.

His service would conclude in 2663, during the end of his first tour in Operation *Righteous Force* and after he was presented a promising job opportunity by the Hinata Security Company (a private security outfit directly under the management of the Hinata Group). However, his service on Belial Prime would not truly end, as he would see deployment on the world following the Coalition's initial victories in 2666 and the beginning of Operation *Mephistopheles*.

## Cyberpsychosis

Amadeus is slowly mentally degrading as of 2698, most likely from an onset of augmentation syndrome as a result of his massively cyberized form. Showing early signs of psychosis and dementia, he is still in a mostly lucid state, but often loses track of time and believes at certain times he is still a member of the SATAFOR or the Holy Army. Aurora has been attempting to find a suitable medicinal facility or individual for her adoptive father, but their mutual lack of sufficient funds, Amadeus's blood history, and his periods of violence complicate the situation.
