Colonel Dax

**Colonel Dax** is an A-Tier Costume for the Mercenary, Naib Subedar. It was introduced to the Illusion Hall on January 28, 2021, due to Naib being one of the 2020 Deduction Star winners.

## Appearance

### **Physical**

Naib has fair skin, smoke blue button eyes with a plus stitch and a cross-stitch with white thread, tangled brown hair combed back and pulled into a ponytail, faint sideburns and stubble, and a bow mouth stitched with white thread at the corners.

### **Outfit**

Naib wears a dull smoke blue army jacket with gold stripes like a cape over a skin-tight dull smoke blue military tunic, matching breeches, and tall leather combat boots with multiple gold-rimmed buckles. An empty leather bandolier is attached to a leather belt around his waist, hooked onto his right shoulder.

### Elbow Pads

The Elbow Pads are heavy leather gauntlets with thick cuffs secured by gold buttons.

### **Special Effects**

Smoldering paper pieces float around him.

## Trivia

* It is specifically based off the actor Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax from the 1957 American Anti-War film *Paths of Glory*, which is an adaptation of the 1935 novel of the same by Humphrey Cobb.

* It features a completely reworked facial model, similar to Mr. Inference.
	+ This reworked facial model would be used for each and every future Mercenary costume.
	+ As they happen to share this trait, it may be an interpretation of Mr. Inference's appearance during his stay in the army, before he was discharged and became a private detective.
