## Personality

The Tengu Member is an arrogant man who assures Orc that they will avenge Squad 6 by taking the Crew of Edens down but then mocks the muscular O-Tech for needing them to step in to clean up their mess. However, he later reveals to Shiki and Homura that he could care less about Squad 6's defeat, calling them losers, and is only doing it to salvage the Commando Team's reputation.

The Lizard Member is a professional being who takes his job seriously as he is ready to hunt down Shiki, stating that the gravity wielder won't escape them and that no one may defy the Emperor in the Coral Sector.

The Masked Member is a sadistic man as he muses that they should capture Shiki and bring him to Shura. He even suggests capturing Homura too, noting that she is Shura's type.

## Synopsis

### Foresta arc

Somewhere on Foresta, Beast Squad 1 responds to Orc's call for help after monitoring Beast Squad 6, witnessing their defeat, while dealing with a group of hostile bots on their own. As the strongest Beast squad, they reassure Orc that they will avenge them and make their move to capture Shiki and his friends. Later, Squad 1 confronts Shiki and Homura where they explain to the two that while they could care less about Squad 6's defeat, they have a reputation to uphold and to ensure that no one defies their emperor, Poseidon Nero. Suddenly, the three of them are ambushed by Victory, who takes them down in one hit with his Ether Gear; Titan's Arm from above and saved Shiki and Homura. In quick defeat, Beast Squad 1 is then imprisoned within the Ether Lock cages made by Creed. One of Squad 1's cages is held by Victory who remarks that they are a "bunch of small-time hoodlums" upon inspecting them.

## Powers and Abilities

Beast Squad 1 is stated to be the strongest and highest-ranking squad in the Commando Team, which Homura senses incredible Ether powers from the three of them from afar, and Shiki notes they are stronger than Beast Squad 6 whom he and his crew defeated earlier. However, Beast Squad 1 are swiftly defeated and imprisoned by Victory and Creed, two soldiers of the Interstellar Union Army, before they could demonstrate their capabilities in battle. They are ranked below Oceans 6, the top officials of the Nero Empire.
