Doctor Orion

* Civilian
* Doctor Orion

*"Life has this funny way of hammering in the lessons it tries to teach you."*
—Saul Collins to Lina Fournier
**Saul Collins**, DSc., born **Andrés Saúl Flores Collins**, is a Mexican immigrant that arrived at Neo Arcadia around 2016 once he had finished coursing his Master's degree. Saul is the founder and CEO of Collins International, former member of the Arcadian Rebels as well as the EPF and leader of the now dissolved Vision Corp.

Collins became a war criminal following his unethical biomedical experiments to produce a wakefulness drug, to which his adoptive daughter Tiara Calinao became addicted. His illegal past was revealed when he took the Rebels on a mission to space to retrieve his comrade Samuel Lars, and he ostensibly died in action. He returned months later, following his daughter's death at the hands of the Entertainer, and became an enemy of the Rebels as well as Lina Fournier, who took control of his company under the public assumption that he was dead. He was reunited with his daughter after it was revealed her mind transitioned to an alternate body kept on Earth-99, and he began using his new cosmic ray-induced intelligence to invent an arsenal for himself, later assuming the moniker of **Doctor Orion**.

## Biography

### Early Life

Andrés Saul Flores Collins was born on Sunday, November 11th, 1990 to Ernesto Florez Ortíz, a Mexican citizen and Vanessa Collins on the border city of Tijuana, near the state of California. He was the eldest son in a triad of children, consisting of himself, his younger brother Lucius and his youngest sister, Elena. During his early childhood, Saul lived a decently average life, sprinkled with occasional drama due to his curiosity and inquisitive nature.

Throughout most of his childhood, Saul used to go out to the backyard and watch the stars through the telescope his grandfather had given to him.

#### A Life of Expectations

From a young age, Saul began to show very a very promising aptitude with electronics and mathematics, often ending up involved with his father's projects, even if as a mere spectator. During his first nine years, he received high praise from his parents, which would eventually lead him to develop a need to prove himself to others. Around age ten, Saul was already capable of working with simple circuit boards by himself.

Though at the time, this felt like the best thing in the world for Saul, the high expectations he was setting for himself would end up being a thing he despised, feeling as if his parents were being unjustly strict with him when he compared the treatment they gave to Lucius and himself.

Around the year 2000, Saul and his family would move to a city in the state of California once his father had acquired a better job than the one he had in Mexico. Still, the pressures of being the prodigy child continued and actually increased, as he was enrolled in a private school in the new town.

Though his two siblings, Lucius and Elena, had an average grade of 7 and 9 respectively, Saul's parents demanded the highest score in class, to the point where he'd be intimidated into locking himself in his room to study for hours on end. This disparity between expectations for him and his siblings led Saul to develop a very tense relationship with them, as he envied their more laid back academic life.

This disparity between expectations was slowly internalized by Saul, who grew somewhat cold and demanding towards his brothers as he progressed through middle and high school.

### Road to Adulthood

Saul's cold, focused and introverted personality began to slowly drive away others around him, making it difficult for him to ever truly make friends who would hang out with him on the daily. Yet, something changed. During his Junior year of High School, Saul met a very unique person. One that stood proud and joyful. Excited to discover and very supportive until the end. That person was Samuel Lars. Their relaxed persona and interest for science and space slowly began to change Saul's perspective, who began to open up to this person and finally accept them as a friend.

Having aced most of his academic life, Saul was a candidate for valedictorian, an honor he ditched as he began to move away from diligently finishing every assignment in favor of reuniting with Samuel to talk about their favorite franchises, what they would do in space and often times, play chess or other tabletop role-playing games.

Eventually, it was time for Saul and Lars to graduate High School and enroll into college. Saul, having grown hopeful and enthusiastic, opted to apply for the prestigious California Institute of Technology, where he was promptly accepted. Unfortunately, Lars did not make the cut, instead enrolling into a different university in Neo Arcadia.

In order to pay off his tuition, Saul took in a part-time engineering job. Quite hastily, Saul was being thrown into adult life, quickly finishing his Bachelor's Degree and his Master's Degree afterwards.

#### Goodbye, Home

After having coursed through his Master's degree, Saul was planning on continuing on with his Doctorate and possibly a second degree on Astrophysics, another topic of interest. However, he stopped himself from enrolling. Instead of continuing his career, Saul decided to reach Samuel Lars in an attempt to reunite with him.

With some of the money he had earned from his engineering job, Saul set sail and flew towards Neo Arcadia, Pennsylvania.

### A Life Beyond the Ordinary

#### Call to Adventure

Having arrived to Neo Arcadia circa 2017, Saul lived a quiet life for the first few months of his arrival, which he mostly devoted to getting a decent job and reuniting with Lars.

His life would be turned upside down however, as he met the one and only Jason Kade. They became friends somewhat quickly, and Saul was then presented to Jason's friends, who unbeknownst to Saul, also led a secret life as vigilantes. He'd go on to meet Lance White, Kaz Becker, Cody Nakamura, Leah Caverly and Christine Felix.

He soon became a close friend of them, eventually being told their alter-egos as Almanac, Argent, Argonaut, Ghost, Reverie and Kodachi respectively. Asked by Lance White and Jason to join the Arcadian Rebels, Saul would go on to become one of the core members of the Prime Roster.

During his time as a Rebel, Saul fought against multiple opponents, most notably El Fuego, Pestilence, the Memory Eaters, etc.

#### The Elite Protection Federation

After a few more months of being part of the vigilante group, Saul was offered the opportunity to become a covert agent for the Elite Protection Federation, at the time led by Michelle Garrington. Due to his shortage in funds, and the fact that he was already fighting crime, Saul accepted the offer and enlisted the EPF, not without first going through the EPF Academy course, which he managed to ace with minor struggle.

From then on, Saul would devote his life as an ally of the Rebels and a diligent agent of the EPF. It was during this time that the Gamma Squadron of the Rebels was created, and Saul helped the new batch of Rebels to adapt to the new team. Among them, Scarlet Scythe, Anima Libera, Sentinel, Andrew Lavellan, etc.

#### With Great Power...

The double life that Saul carried was not as glamorous as he would've expected when he first joined. Though his position in the EPF came with a stable pay, the amount of work he had with both the Rebels and the EPF, severely limited his options. His plans to achieve his doctorate had to be put on hold, for most of his time was either on the field or devising new gadgets for the EPF as one of the most active engineers in their force.

At the same time, being a simple human without much training really took a toll on his own condition. Unlike Almanac, who was in peak human condition, Saul was just above that of an average human, barely reaching the condition required for a police officer, which was not enough to fight the countless super-villains that they faced time and time again.

Many times, Saul would come out of a fight heavily injured due to his inability to keep up with the world-ending threats the Rebels faced.

#### The Alien that Broke the Mexican's Back

In 2018, Saul would gain two new major rivals, Corvell Grim, the space pirate and Vex, the alien assassin. Throughout most of the year, Saul, Corvell and Vex would come face to face multiple times, where none had any alliances with another participant.

These fights would escalate to the point where Saul was not even capable of contending properly against the two. Due to all of the stress that he had built up, he broke mentally. He began to take many breaks at random times to avoid being overwhelmed, and even then, he couldn't keep up.

When he was finally reunited with Lars, Saul eventually revealed everything about the Rebels, his fight against Corvell and Vex, and the EPF. Albeit dubious at first, when Saul showed up to Lars' home, completely beaten up, Lars began to believe it. However, per Saul's petition, Lars never mentioned this to anyone else.

Being a military recruit at the time, Lars slowly began to aid Saul in his occasional bouts with Corvell and Vex, until the final showdown in which Saul ended up with his back broken. Lars and Saul would barely manage to escape as Corvell took his last stand and presumably, sacrificed himself to kill Vex once and for all.

For the following weeks, Saul would be in a wheelchair, fact which Jason often poked fun at.

### Look Into the Future

#### The Kid that Reached the Stars

During his time recovering from his injuries, Saul would continue talking with Samuel Lars at times, the most common topic being space and the stars, as well as a couple projects from NASA. These casual conversations continued to happen more and more often, with occasional what-ifs about them leaving for space happening at seldom. One day, Saul would be hit with a surge of motivation during one of their talks, which led him to contact the EPF to arrange a deal to split off and leave for space with the EPF's help. Now under Director Nakamura's leadership, the EPF agreed to help Saul with some volunteers and some craft to leave for space.

Before departing, Saul salvaged Corvell's ship, the Starfall-X, and re-purpose it for the recently founded Vision Corp.

With some spacecraft and crew, Saul would say his final goodbyes and depart for space.

#### Don't Deal with the Devil

Though he had a small fleet under his command when he departed Earth, Saul's goal to explore and unite deep space demanded much more resources than he originally had. That is why, when he first came across Corvell-2, Saul would strike a deal, to Lars' disapproval. Though Saul was given a bigger fleet and much more resources for his campaign, Corvell did not ask anything in return in that moment. Unbeknownst to Saul, he had just made a pact with the devil.

#### The Beginning of Something Great

Quickly forgetting about his deal with Corvell, Saul began to explore deep space to settle new planets and meet distant alien civilizations. During the first few months of their journey along with Vision Corp, Saul and Lars would visit Erim, becoming regular clients of a certain bar in Yarneek Port Town and good friends of the bartender at the time. After some time, when the bartender left, Saul and Lars would change their go-to restaurant to Gungha's Stop 'N' Diner. Becoming regular clients with Gungha, Saul would eventually earn a breakfast named after himself thanks to Lars convincing Gungha to do so. This breakfast would be a simple sandwich invented by Gungha based on the two's description of human food. It also features chicken milanese within it.

Along the way, Saul would also come to meet Iok, a luxury city in the planet of the same name.

#### A Journey Through the Universe

For a couple of months, Saul would begin gathering more resources and recruiting dozens of new soldiers from across the Alphaverse to expand Vision Corp. During this time, Saul would arrive and settle Krysta, as well as Alghab, which would later be known as Xíros.

#### Your End of the Deal

Eventually, when Saul became a renowned force throughout the Alphaverse, he'd run into Corvell from Earth-2 once again, who was finally asking for Saul to fulfill his end of the deal. Saul, confused at first, would ask Corvell what he meant, to which he would remind Saul about their deal when Vision Corp was first getting started. Saul, now priding himself in being the leader of a well-intentioned Corporation, would refuse to hand over part of his forces to Corvell.

Though Corvell insisted and even tried to coerce Saul into fulfilling his end of the deal, the latter would fiercely retort, even shooting a warning round for Corvell to walk away. Compelled to leave in that time, Corvell would seemingly fade into the shadows...

### Warfare Across the Stars

#### Omen of Battle

Having rotundly refused to cooperate with Corvell, Saul and Lars began to notice a certain spike in raids and sieges to their territories, all with cutting-edge technology which no minor faction would possess. Slowly, this pattern of incredibly well-equipped gangs assaulting Vision Corp cargo would become far too common to be dismissed as a coincidence.

Due to all of the incidents spreading wide throughout their territories, Saul and Lars mounted a small-scale investigation operation**.**

#### A War Throughout the Alphaverse

The investigation operation led Saul and Lars to a small warehouse in the middle of a remote planet, where they'd meet with Corvell, who was already waiting for them. After a very heated argument between Saul and Corvell, the former, along with Lars, would storm off, having declared war between both factions.

For the rest of Vision Corp's lifespan, both sides would be at an ever-escalating war with weaponry of equally increasing magnitude.

#### At All Costs

In early 2019, Vision Corp's Krystan Ore and Minerals Research Facilities would turn to a new project, titled Project Heracles. This project was dedicated to researching the different drugs found in Krysta in order to synthesize them for use as drugs to enhance Vision Corp's troops. Synasthite and Kaphrestite would be heavily investigated during that time. Though Dr. Wilmur was not exactly comfortable with human test subjects, Saul would push for the drugs to be refined and tested on sentient subjects.

During the few months that Project Heracles was active, many qualities of Synasthite and Kaphrestite would be discovered. Eventually, when the project went wrong and multiple test subjects passed away in the process, Saul shut it down in June 2019.

#### War on Alghab

One of the most devastating fronts of the war, Alghab was originally a jungle planet, though it was inadvertently terraformed by the constant warfare that went on throughout the surface of the planet. Along with the constant battle, some weapon testing that occurred in the planet would also heavily affect its terrain. Due to the resulting terrain, Alghab became known as Xíros.

#### Victory and Death

On August 25th, the battle to decide the winner of the War on Xíros would begin, with Vision Corp's remaining fleet and Corvell Grim's larger navy rallying to face each other on the orbit of the now ravaged planet. Whilst the battle was quite even at first, the tides soon tipped in Corvell's favor thanks to their number superiority. Regardless, Lars and Saul would charge fiercely into battle on-board their flagship, the Crusader.

The battle lasted approximately 19 straight hours, consisting of continuous back-and-forth between the two factions, as well as the occasional pause in the action for both navies to regroup, plan and repair their damaged ships. During the battle, Saul would operate mostly on-board the Crusader, leading the fleet from his flagship. However, with the extremely long duration of the battle, Saul eventually got out into the field himself in a small boarding shuttle.

With the aid of an elite squadron, the then General Saul Collins managed to clear a few of Corvell's ships, giving way for a temporary comeback from Vision Corp, which kept Corvell and his forces on the backfoot for a good couple of hours.

Eventually, when Vision Corp's forces began to be overrun, Lars employed a kamikaze maneuver to allow for Saul to escape. Saul would crash land on Xíros and dedicate himself to building up a graveyard for the people who had passed fighting by his side.

### Home, Sweet Home

#### A Rough Landing

On August 30th, 2019, Saul would come crashing down from outer space in a salvaged ship he had acquired in Xíros. Though he came in as a streak of light, his landing would be dismissed by the media if not covered up by the EPF, making Saul's landing quite uneventful, for the exception of the actual crash.

For a few days, Saul would live in the crash site, using scavenged gear from Vision Corp in order to survive by himself in the woods, making up a small camp for himself to stay throughout the night.

After a few days, Saul would be found by Almanac and Sentinel, who had gone to investigate the area by themselves. Though Sentinel was present in the scene, he'd be absent from the conversation between Almanac and Saul, where the latter would explain how he came back to Earth, albeit with a few deviations from reality.

Before readjusting to society, Saul would buy a warehouse to store all of his salvaged gear.

#### The Weight on Your Shoulders

During the last months of 2019, Saul would feel immense pressure and guilt from leaving behind Vision Corp, a feeling which he'd try to suppress with and distract himself from. When he first began adjusting to the ordinary, Saul began to work tirelessly in the Rebels' lab, to the point where he developed a very harmful workaholic tendency.

His poor coping mechanism reach a breaking point, where he'd overdose himself in a sleep-depriving drug to keep working over night. It was during this period that Saul stayed in the lab for 168 hours straight.

With his body deteriorating from the unrefined drug that left certain toxins in his body, and the natural side-effects of sleep deprivation, Saul's state began to very quickly worsen, with large eyebags under his eyes, malnourishment and sickly pale skin.

When the Rebels found out and Lightworker proceeded to remove the substance from his body, he'd fall into a coma from the shock of the abrupt withdrawal.

When he woke up from the coma, Saul would visit his warehouse to self-reflect. Shortly after, he opted to take a more healthy route towards coping. This would inspire him to build a new corporation, the Collins Foundation, dedicated to aerospace engineering and astrophysics, a spiritual successor to Vision Corp.

#### Titanium

In mid-January, 2020, Saul would begin to open job applications for the still rising Collins Foundation. Due to the lack of personnel at the time, Saul as the one to personally interview those who applied for the job. Eventually, a certain application came in. One from Tiara Calinao.

When the interview came, Saul would find a certain glimmer in her eyes that spoke to him. A sense of enthusiasm, wonder for the unknown and a cheerful attitude towards work. Reminded of the late Lars, Saul would go on to personally accept Tia's application for the job, giving her the role as his personal assistant.

Their relationship would soon grow throughout their time working together, with Saul feeling a certain obligation to do right by her unlike he had done with Lars. Noticing her crude metallic prothesis, one of Saul's first projects would be to build her a new proper arm.

During the quest to revive Andrew Lavellan, Jason would call Saul from Italy to ask him to make new equipment for Sentinel, to which he agreed. At the same time, he took notes of which dangers they were possibly facing and began to work on improving his prototype for Tia's arm. During the same phone call, Tia would take Jason's phone and join the call. During their call, Saul would mention his gratitude towards her and show her the prototype of the arm he had been building for some time.

At a later date, when Tia and her romantic partner, Elijah Kade, pulled a prank on Jason and they were both grounded by him, Saul would comfort Tia by inviting her to camp a few nights inside the Collins Foundation. In there, they'd both eat ice cream and hang out.

As their bond grew stronger, Saul would develop a very protective attitude towards Tia.

### The Earth-3 Crossover

#### First Encounter with Tiresias

When the bridge between Earth-3 and Earth-1 was made, Saul was already working on a secret project, later revealed to be the Pathfinder Project, which meant he was absent from the action throughout most of the first half of the event. However, Saul did eventually encounter John Jacobson from Earth-3 in a more casual setting.

Though their relationship was quite friendly at first, it would be tainted by an incident involving Nadjya Romankova. After this event, Saul would grow somewhat bitter with Tiresias. At one point, when both Wolf Ranger, then named Banner, and Stella had been kidnapped by the Nazis, Saul suspected John to be a spy, an idea which he promptly dropped when proven wrong.

#### The Rebellion

Though Saul had remained inactive during most of the event, he'd come back into action after learning of an attempted hit on Tia, ordered by none other than Hans Kelvmer from Earth-3. This would prompt Saul to become somewhat bitter and cold, which led him begin engineering new weapons to use against the Nazis.

When the team split off, Saul would follow Tia and joined Tiresias in their splinter group, "The Rebellion". As a member of this team, Saul would slowly soften once more when he realized Tia was not in direct danger any longer. When the Arcadian Rebels fell into the trap in the water plant, Saul and the Rebellion would come to aid them in the last moment.

After the incident in the water plant, the Rebellion became more active, performing their vigilante duties separately from the Arcadian Rebels. In their first mission, Saul found himself accompanying the rest of the Rebellion to an abandoned Reich warehouse, which they sought to storm and investigate.

However, when they arrived, they realized it had been abandoned by the Reich, leaving behind only crates, which turned out to be full of stolen technology from the Collins Foundation. As they continued to explore, however, they found a mirror, which reflected not them, but alternate versions of themselves. Angered by having his work stolen by Nazis with the intention of bringing alternate counterparts, Saul began to rewire the modified blink drives to rig them as explosives while the others continued to explore the warehouse.

However, as he worked to set the stolen engines to explode, he was interrupted by a feral creature staring him down, the Sujfan. A fight broke out, with the other Rebellion members trying to keep the beast at bay while he continued to rig up the engines to blow up. Eventually, when he managed to arm the explosives, he shouted at his partners to flee the warehouse.

Just as they escaped the warehouse, it blew up into a majestic demonstration of fireworks, leaving them to rejoice as they had made it out alive, now with newfound knowledge on Operation Fatherland.

#### Save the World, Stop the Fatherland

With the knowledge on the true intentions of Operation Fatherland, Saul and the Rebellion set out to stop the Reich when John let them in on the location of the secret Nazi bunker. After reuniting by the sewers, the Rebellion infiltrated the bunker with the help of Tiresias' sludge and a makeshift raft made by Titanium. As they rushed room through room, Saul had a chance to show off his new weaponry, swiftly taking down a pair of soldiers with his nailgun and his belt whip.

However, things wouldn't go too smoothly inside the bunker, as the Rebellion had a couple of instances where they could've been found out. Eventually, they snuck into a lab, where they reunited with the old Arcadian Rebels in a very tense stand-off.

### An Odyssey Through the Alphaverse

#### Road to the Stars

Ever since early February, he had been working on the Pathfinder Project, though he had kep it a secret from the Rebels. For two months, he worked hard to finish the project as soon as possible, using schematics he had obtained from his previous travels with Vision Corp to help speed up the project.

Due to this, he became quite inactive, only occasionally leaving the lab to aid Tia.

#### Those Who Live in Secrecy, Die in Secrecy

The project remained secret to the world and the Rebels, and it was not until after the incident with the Nazis that Saul revealed the project to the group, and subsequently, to the news. Under the false pretense of a rescue mission, Saul tricked the Rebels into accompanying him into outer space, with Tia being his only accomplice.

#### T-03:00:00

The day of launch approached much faster than one would expect. May 4th, the day of the launch, was just around the corner, and a lot of pressure fell onto Saul, who unwillingly passed it down to Tia.

After a rough encounter with Tia, Saul picked up all of the objects he had from Vision Corp stored in his office inside the Collins Foundation and drove all the way to his warehouse. In there, he tossed all of his belongings and prepared to burn them all, though he hesitated. Ever since then, Saul thought of himself as a monster, though he tried to repress this thought. It was then that Saul began to work on a serum to clear Tia's bloodstream.

He would visit the warehouse again on May 1st, where he would think back on the way he had convinced the Rebels to follow him into the Odyssey. Though his remorse weighed heavily on him, the desire to have someone to count on won and he opted not to tell the Rebels the truth. Before leaving, he dropped his Vision Corp badge and stomped on it, letting it get dug into the ground.

#### The Odyssey Begins!

On May 4th, 2020, Saul and the Rebels boarded the Pathfinder for the first time, aiming high for the stars. Finally the day had come, and Saul was quite nervous. Though he doubted if he could keep up the lie, Saul went through with the plan, having the ship blast off Earth with a very endearing course through the solar system before leaving it with a jump of the blink drive.

Their first destination, Space Station Etha. A place where Saul planned to obtain new thrusters from to upgrade the Pathfinder and have it fully operational. Once they arrived, Saul split off from the group to buy the thrusters while the rest wandered around. His shopping was short-lived, as the Rebels met trouble in the kiosk section of the station.

Enraged by their clumsiness, Saul went off on them and helped them get out of space station etha in a hurry, though now with a new passenger: Fire Spider.

Having calmed down, Saul led the Rebels to the planet of Erim, more specifically, the Yarneek Port Town, where he planned to have the thrusters installed onto the Pathfinder. While the other Rebels explored Yarneek and the Pathfinder was being fixed, Saul went off by himself to find a very specific component to finish brewing a serum to remove the toxins of the sleep-depriving drugs from Tia's bloodstream.

Once the Rebels regrouped with Saul, they witnessed a droid insurrection taking place on the planet, to which Saul remarked that the people of Yarneek might be "quite alright", also blaming those that would be attacked of bringing it up on themselves for being xenophobic and mistreating the droids.

#### The Iok Incident

After Space Station Etha and Erim, Saul thought to apologize to the Rebels by leading them into a small vacation to the luxury planet Iok.

While everyone else explored the planet, Saul stayed behind to sign up on the city's Inn. What they expected to be a relaxing break soon turned into a very, very terrifying encounter.

As the Rebels fended off some of the large beasts from the Iok zoo, Saul scrambled to reach the ship and pick them up. Right as he arrived to the main road, where the Rebels were located, the Pathfinder was hit by one of the Goliath Spiders from the zoo, forcing the Rebels to crash land and stay the night once the zoo beasts had been dealt with.

As things settled down however, Saul and Tia had an argument about Saul leaving her behind, which he denied. However, Saul would soon notice that something about Tia was off, quickly realizing that it was a changeling that had replaced Tia. Without wasting any time, Saul moved out into the city, looking for the real Tia.

Proud as he was, Saul did not mention it to anyone in the group and was too, captured by the changeling gang that had captured Tia. Whilst the Rebels figured out the truth about the changeling Saul and Tia, Saul fought for his survival and to protect the real Tia inside the changeling's lair.

After everything had been dealt with, the Rebels reunited inside the Pathfinder, where they licked their wounds and spent the night.

#### A Reminder

After the Iok Incident, Saul and Tia set course for the water planet Balvon, where they expected to take a short break from all the action and tension that had happened in Iok and Space Station Etha. As they arrived at the marketplace, Saul and the group found an old radio. One which belonged to the Crusader, Saul's flagship in his time at Vision Corp. Reminded of Lars' passing, Saul decided to take the radio with him on-board the Pathfinder. Things, as usual, did not go as expected, as the Rebels were confronted by a giant monster, which was presumed to be just marketing for Balvon's main attraction.

While the Rebels fended off a large monster and a tsunami, Saul found himself inside the Pathfinder, mourning the loss of his best friend, as well as fixing the old radio. When the Rebels returned after dealing with the dangers of Balvon, Saul explained to them part of the truth of his backstory with Vision Corp and the war against Corvell's forces.

He'd be reminded again of the inevitability of death, when the Plant Man was euthanized aboard his own Stand, Led Zeppelin: Act IV.

After visiting Led Zeppelin: Act IV, Saul sought to lighten up everyone's moods by visiting a diner he used to visit with Lars when Vision Corp was still rising. Though he expected this to be a nice, happy journey to end the Alphaverse Odyssey, it would turn grim once more as Gungha and Saul reunited, and Gungha mentioned Lars, oblivious to the latter's passing.

Prompted by Gungha to revisit Krysta, Saul would lead the Rebels into one of Vision Corp's abandoned outposts on the crystal planet of Krysta. In there, Saul would immediately split off the main group towards the transmission's tower, where he Lars' last transmission had been recorded. Now searching for closure, Saul lied to Fire Spider about the message, telling him that it was a recent transmission, as opposed to a recorded message.

#### A Search for Closure

After multiple reminders of his past with Vision Corp, Saul led the Rebels back to Xíros, the location where Vision Corp had its last stand, though he would not reveal this fact to the Rebels until much later, nearing the end of the Odyssey. In there, he'd ask the other Rebels to split up again and search for any signs of Lars, still trying to keep up the lie of Lars' fate and even believing it himself for a moment.

With Fire Spider following him, Saul would move into a nearby village, in search of the renowned Hag of Xíros. The village had been built with parts of the Crusader's remains, which very much irritated Saul and made him look at the villagers with scorn. During his walk through the village, Saul revealed to Fire Spider that he had been the sole survivor of a crash, though he did not specify what had caused said crash, or who had been there with him.

Once they had arrived to meet with the Hag of Xíros, she implied Saul had been there before and told them that her master, The Sage, was awaiting them. Though Saul and Fire Spider asked for the location, she only replied with a riddle, which both had to decipher. After some discussion, they figured out the Sage's Lair was located inside a black hole.

With new information, Saul and Fire Spider reunited with the Rebels, each who had discovered a different piece of information in Xíros. Though some were reluctant to jump into a black hole, and his relationship with Tia had been tainted by a discovery of hers, Fire Spider insisted that meeting the Sage could be the key to finding Lars, a comment that weighed down on Saul's conscience, knowing that Lars had died long ago.

To mend his relationship with Tia, he confidently gave her the pilot seat and took the co-pilot's seat. With Tia as their pilot, they made a daring attempt to cross a black hole, with a perfectly timed, last minute activation of the blink drive.

After a wild ride into the core of the black hole, Saul and the Rebels would find themselves inside a new landscape. The Sage's Domain. In there, they'd find themselves in no gravity, yet capable of breathing and floating around without the hazards of open space.

In the middle of the Sage's domain, they found a large cubic entity, floating in the middle of the nebula-like environment and of bright yellow color. To brighten up the mood, Saul jumped off the Pathfinder and took advantage of the weightlessness of the environment to make a few flips and other tricks, secretly hoping to amuse Tia more than anyone.

Inside the Sage's lair, the Rebels would find themselves in a never-ending white hall, which seemed to stretch out into infinity. Before continuing down the road, Saul spoke to John about Tia's use of his sleep-depriving drugs, though John would not completely process the information until later. Afterwards, they'd reunite with the group, only to be promptly split apart by the Sage's ever-changing lair.

Like everyone, he reached a never-ending maze of stairs that defied logic and gravity, with each stairway going in a completely different way, horizontally, vertically and even diagonally. Within the stairway maze, he faced different trials like the rest of the group, though his' pit him against his denial of Lars' passing and his fear of losing Tia.

However, unlike others, he was quick to deal with these trials, for he momentarily came to terms with Lars' passing and accepted that Tia was better off as John's surrogate daughter. He was the first person to arrive at the Sage's chambers, where he'd ask the entity about Lars' true fate, his own fate, Tia's fate and how the Odyssey would end. Satisfied with his answers, he remained quiet after the rest arrived at the Sage's chambers, only to be transported back to open space inside the Pathfinder, along with the rest of the Rebels.

It was during the short pause between the visit to the sage and the end of the odyssey, that Saul would record a message for Tia in the case they got separated.

#### End of the Odyssey

Having been transported out of the Sage's domain, Saul and Tia were back in the Pathfinder's flight deck, where they would enter a heated argument over the drugs Tia was consuming and the development of it during Saul's time with Vision Corp. The argument reached a point where Tia's enraged yells reached those in the common room, even though the door to it had been shut.

Alerted to Tia and Saul's argument by the former's yells, the Rebels began to pour into the flight deck, all of the suspicious of Saul and his secrecy, as well as Tia's concerning shouting. The argument quickly devolved into questioning Saul, to which he became defensive and began to yell back. Amidst their argument, the ship began to go into a critical state, with the alarms blaring and the lights turning red.

Saul quickly rushed to the engine room, only to see the jump into the Black Hole had left major damage on the Pathfinder. As the state of the engine worsened, Saul tried to approach, but was unable due to the energy bolts being released by the reactor. After a brief struggle, the Pathfinder made an unexpected jump to seemingly random coordinates.

After the danger had presumably passed, Saul would return to the flight deck, only to realize they had gone back in time when exiting the black hole, as proven by the Krystan facilities which they had visited prior to entering the Sage's domain, though now, very much alive, just like it had in the past, before being shut down by Saul himself.

While the ship continued to approach for landing, everyone continued to ponder and discuss what had happened, confused at the livelihood of the base they had seen abandoned just days prior. In the meantime, Saul contacted Doctor Wilmur and requested for a ship to be prepared for the Rebels. Deep down, he felt extreme guilt for having dragged the Rebels through so much pain and suffering throughout the Odyssey, and figured that parting ways would be the best way for him to stop their suffering, even if he had to conceal the truth and endure their hatred.

When the Pathfinder touched down on Krysta's facilities, the Rebels were taken on a tour by Doctor Wilmur, while Saul, Tia and John stayed behind. John consoled Tia for a brief moment, though when Saul arrived, Tia hastily left, leaving behind the syringe she had been using to inject herself with Saul's sleep depriving drug.

Enraged by Saul's negligence, John confronted him and threatened him, to which Saul did nothing. He was aware of the harm he had caused Tia and embraced any fate that could come his way. Yet, John held off on harming him and Saul walked off the engine deck towards the main deck of the Pathfinder.

As Saul walked out of the flight deck, Tia arrived and spoke to Saul about Wilmur's presence. He walked out with Tia and met up with the Rebels who had finished with their tour, as well as with Wilmur. During their conversation, Saul's alias as Director Collins was revealed, as well as Saul's plan to spit off.

With many mixed feelings, both Rebels and Saul split off, with the Rebels taking the newly assigned Starcruiser to leave Krysta and return home.

Things would not go smoothly, however, as the Starcruiser was attacked by some of Corvell's forces from the past. Alerted to the dangers that his friends were exposed to, Saul quickly boarded the Pathfinder and set out to rescue them. Arriving in the nick of time, Saul had the Rebels leap off from the destroyed Starcruiser onto the Pathfinder's hull, before jumping into a random planet.

The Pathfinder arrived at Enidu, yet another water planet. Having sustained heavy damage from the rescue, Saul had no other choice than to crash land on the vast open seas of Enidu, where the Rebels would attempt to catch their breath. There, now coming to terms with the fact that he couldn't lie to them anymore, Saul spoke out on the truth of Lars' fate.

Though everyone was confused at first due to his vague words, Saul confirmed that it was indeed Lars he was referring to, which only sparked yet another heated argument. In said argument, many confronted Saul about the true reasoning behind the Odyssey, his past as Vision Corp's director. Jason also began to question him, to which Saul responded quite harshly and defensively, stating that Lars had been his only friend, which escalated the argument.

#### Fixing the Past, Fixing Xíros

In the midst of it all, the Rebels and Saul figured that, since they were in the past, they could still save Lars and give meaning to the Odyssey. They all managed to reach a compromise once they had calmed down. To help him rescue Lars and deal with him after the mission had been accomplished.

After making the compromise, Saul spoke the full truth to the Rebels about his past with Vision Corp and Corvell.

With a newly sparked determination, Saul and the Rebels set out to Xíros, unknowingly speeding through time to August 25th, 2019, the date of the Battle of Xíros.

On board the Pathfinder, Saul and the Rebels fought bravely through the Battle of Xíros, helping the forces of Vision Corp from the past to drive off Corvell's forces from the same time period. As the battle progressed, the Rebels had to split up, with one half of the team boarding Corvell's flagship to sabotage it from the inside while Saul continued to fight the main battle outside.

As he moved to pick the Rebels after their successful sabotage, Saul realized it would be far too difficult, and as such, decided to have the entire team, Tia included, jump off the Pathfinder and into the hangar to hijack one of Corvell's ships, which they did.

With Tia piloting the new, stolen ship, Saul and the Rebels regrouped. Saul and the Rebels had some banter, with the former very audibly nervous by the entire fight.

#### I'm Sorry Kiddo

After everything that had happened throughout the Odyssey, Saul began to ponder. Had it all been worth it? All the damage he had done to his friends? All the times he had put them in danger? No.. It was not worth it. With a heavy heart, full of regrets, sorrow, and a lot of hesitation, Saul quickly rigged up a chip. Originally designed to remotely control the Pathfinder, he used it to trick the Rebels one last time. He lied to them about its function, telling them that it was what allowed the Pathfinder to travel back in time, and that he'd catch up with them on the journey back to the present.

They believed him and aligned themselves, with the Pathfinder above the Rebels' ship. He opened the ramp of the Pathfinder, from where he planned to flick it down at them. Before doing so, he took one last look at Lars' ship, which was already building up in energy, preparing itself for that very moment which Saul, up to that point despised remembering.

Without hesitation, he flicked the chip down at the Rebels, as well as a puck and a recording device, before rushing back into the flight deck of the Pathfinder. From there, he'd say his last words, revealing to them that he had lied about the nature of the chip, before hijacking their ship and forcefully having the ship make the jump for the present.

After the Rebels' made the jump, Saul's fate remained unknown, presumed dead by all of his close friends.

Once the Rebels had arrived on Earth, the Collins Foundation received them and treated them in their med-bays. One of the scientists approached Tia and asked her about the Protocol Titanium which Saul had set in place before the Odyssey started, to which she gave her permission to enact it...

### Turning Over A New Leaf

#### ...Comes Great Responsibility

In the final moments of the Odyssey, Saul continued to reflect on his mistakes, slowly recognizing that he had done more damage than he had ever sat down to consider. When he finally realized how harmful the whole expedition had been to his friends, he decided to end it once and for all.

After he tricked them into leaving back to the present, Saul stuck behind in the past. Though deep down he still wished to try and save Lars, he decided against it, finally accepting Lars' decision and letting go of his old friend. Instead, he turned on his radio and contacted the bridge of the Crusader. Once he had established a safe communications line, he spoke to Lars and explained what had happened. In-between light-hearted chuckles, Saul and Lars finally said goodbye one last time, before the latter fulfilled their sacrifice.

Once the Battle of Xíros had concluded, Saul landed back on the surface of the planet and helped some of the refugees build what would later become the village he and the Rebels visited in the Odyssey. He also visited the Hag once again and spoke to her about the recent events, before once more departing to visit the Sage.

#### What's Next?

Saul would go on to stay in the Sage's Lair for a year, going through the trials of the Sage once again and conversing with the entity for long periods of time. It was in the Sage's Lair that Saul slowly regained control over his emotions, becoming much more calm and thoughtful than he was before.

Eventually, Saul would depart into deep space to aid those he had harmed in his previous voyages, hoping to mend the mistakes he had made throughout his past.

#### Back Home... But At What Cost?

When Saul had concluded his journey, he returned to the Sage one last time to be sent back to the present, however, before he left, he asked a final question to the Sage. Would Tia welcome him back home? To which the Sage replied vaguely, leaving Saul to ponder if she would accept him when he arrived.

On August 6th, 2020, Saul would land on Earth with his recently renewed vessel, now rechristened the Starfinder. Having missed the events of the prior months, he was left to wonder Tia's whereabouts. Just a couple days after, the answer came to him in the form of the realization of Tia's demise.

He would then contact Jason in an attempt to drink and talk to him about the recent events. However, the latter would confront Saul, still holding a grudge over his past. In a bitter conclusion to their reunion, Saul entered the Starfinder once more, leaving Jason out in the woods where the ship was stationed.

## Personality

*"Even in our isolated bubble that is the solar system, there's still interesting things happening to us."*
—Saul Collins
Being a scientist that has come into contact with alien civilization, Saul firmly believes that progress is inevitable, socially, politically and scientifically.

## Powers and Abilities

*"I know what he's capable of, Jason. Well- a fraction of it"*
—Lina Fournier to Jason Kade
### Powers

* **Hypercognition:** Prolonged exposure to cosmic radiation has drastically amplified Saul's cognitive abilities. His mind is now capable of advanced multitasking, he can perceive learned languages as fluently as his native tongues, perform complicated mathematical operations within instants and reverse engineer highly-advanced builds on the spot, as shown when he effortlessly disassembled and reassembled a multiversal portal built by his counterpart from Earth-76. This new ability was first showcased in the days leading up to November 14th, when he began working in his Orion Adaptive Wire Prototype.
	+ **Intuitive Aptitude:** Saul is capable of adapting, learning, memorizing and deducing things faster than his peers. Saul 's intuition allows him to read a person's state based on their body language and social cues, know if said person is lying or hiding something; decipher how a certain piece of technology works by reverse engineering it and putting it back together; deduce chemical or physical properties of different substances; adapt to a hostile environment and scavenge materials to survive; and figure out an entity's anatomy and weak points.

### Armor Capabilities

As Doctor Orion, Collins' amplified cognition allows him to control the Orion Adaptive Exoskeleton for a variety of enhanced physical feats.

* **Enhanced Strength:** While wearing his nanite armor, Doctor Orion is inhumanly strong, capable of tearing through concrete and wrestling with superhumanly enhanced individuals on even grounds without physical exertion.
* **Enhanced Durability:** Doctor Orion's armor is composed of graphene nanites, which is one atom thick, making it 1,000 times lighter than paper yet 200 times stronger than steel. The material provides him with unparalleled protection from danger because each carbon atom in a sheet of graphene is covalently bonded to three other carbon items. While wearing his nanite armor, Doctor Orion can freely move while remaining bulletproof.
* **Enhanced Speed & Reflexes:** Doctor Orion's nanites travel at the speed of thought. However, he has an accelerated thought process compared to others due to his exposure to cosmic radiation. A regular human's thought process can move at 268.53 miles per hour at the maximum with healthy neurons. While not hosting Orion's body within the nanite armor, it is capable of moving and reacting at superhuman speeds without being limited by his physical condition.
* **Nanite Constructs:** Doctor Orion's nanites have been tailored with the ability to relocate and reconfigure at his command to repair potential damage or generate new artificial constructs for a wide variety of purposes. His nanites have been used for intimidation, interrogation and open combat in multiple occasions.
	+ **Shapeshifting:** Additionally, Doctor Orion's nanites have shown to be capable of replicating the texture and appearance of different materials including human skin, hair, and cloth, allowing Orion to replicate the appearance of another individual with perfect accuracy or even generate a completely unique persona without a need for a prior physical reference. While detached from his physical body, be it acting as an independent sentry or a detached collection of nanites, Orion's armor is not limited by his anatomy, and as such, can morph into shapes that would otherwise crush or harm his body.

### Abilities

*"Eres nuestro experto en cosas raras."*
—Almanac
* **Genius-Level Intelligence:** Saul was one of the most intelligent people working for the EPF, and displayed a sharp intellect and an aptitude towards science since his early childhood. Jason Kade referred to him as one of the finest mechanical engineers he has ever seen, and proved to be an invaluable member to the Arcadian Rebels team, with an IQ surpassing 160. Furthermore, his intelligence extends to linguistics and even leadership, as he managed to spearhead Vision Corp in a short span of time. During his academic life, he was very responsible with his academics, to the point where he could have been valedictorian had he not opted to hang out with Samuel during his Junior and Senior years.
	+ **Master Scientist:** Being mostly devoted to physics, chemistry and exobiology, Saul can be quite the ally when dealing with chemical compounds, physical properties and extraterrestrial creatures, as proven when he casually used physics calculations to better play pool with Nadjya Romankova and John Jacobson in the country bar, or the times he served as the Rebels' guide to the Alphaverse.
	+ **Master Engineer:** Having vast experience as an aerospace, automotive, medical, chemical, computational, electrical, marine, mechanical and software engineer, Saul can be described as one of the world's best equipped engineers, capable of acting in a plethora of situations where craftsmanship skills are required. Capable of tinkering, rewiring and building a wide array of gadgets and vehicles, Saul has proven himself to not only possess theoretical knowledge but the skill to put his knowledge into practice. Among his multiple feats in the engineering fields are his bachelor's and master's degree from the prestigious California Institute of Technology, being a lead in the weapon designing branch of Vision Corp., designing the Pathfinder near single-handedly, as well as being the sole designer and the main shipwright of the Starfinder. In the recent past, Saul also took up studies on bio-engineering to aid Tia Calinao, his protege, with their prosthetic, crafting for her the first iteration of the Titanium Prosthesis. Even after her passing, Saul has continued to improve his design. Saul's expertise as a mechanic was exaggerated when he offered to increase a car's top speed by 30.86%, but given his modifications to the Starfinder, his offer has some weight.
	+ **Expert Hacker:** Being quite well-versed with technology and computers, Saul has developed a knack for entering computers and slicing through different security methods. While there are multiple different security systems that Saul cannot overcome, there are many more he can.
	+ **Expert Pilot:** A skill he acquired from his time with Vision Corp, Saul became quite the skillful pilot as shown throughout the Alphaverse Odyssey. He became capable of performing high-tension maneuvers such as drifting and whipping around, to then precisely hit an enemy ship tailing behind them, as demonstrated when being chased around on the Pathfinder when he traveled back in time to the Battle of Xíros.
	+ **Expert Survivalist:** Thanks to his expertise in crafting and knowledge of the elements, Saul is capable of quickly forming a makeshift shelter and survive on his own for a decent amount of time, as showcased when he survived on Xíros by himself, or when he crash landed on Earth and had to survive by himself for a couple of days.
	+ **Skilled Physician:** Though certainly not as skilled as with chemical and physics-related matters, Saul is somewhat proficient in first-aid techniques to patch up wounds on the fly. Due to the vast amount of healers in the group, Saul rarely ever uses these skills, however.
	+ **Multilingualism:** Saul speaks his native Mexican-dialect Spanish, fluent English and some Latin, Russian and German. He's also quickly adapted to speaking alien languages to communicate with other worlds and create alliances, such as Iokin, Darwan, Yarneki, and Alghabi. Saul is also familiar with both Binary and Morse Code.
* **Skilled Martial Artist:** Having trained in Taekwondo, Hapkido and Judo, Saul can be quite the formidable opponent when facing regular foes, and though he has left behind his life as an active vigilante, he can still hold his own against difficult opponents with quick thinking and strategic fighting.
	+ **Whip Skills:** A skill he never truly learned until he designed and used his Modular B.E.L.T. When the weapon is in "whip mode," Saul is skilled enough to use it as a garrote of sorts to wrap his opponents' limbs and weapons to disarm them, or even choke them out.
	+ **Sword Skills:** Another skill he never truly developed until he began using his Modular B.E.L.T. and remains mostly untrained, with the occasional fluke and quick thinking. Using sword-like weaponry, Saul is skilled enough to parry and swing with certain precision, though not competent enough to face a fully trained duelist without a trick under his sleeve.
* **Skilled Marksman:** From his days in Vision Corp, Saul developed quite the skill and precision when using different kinds of firearms. Though he is most comfortable with semi-auto rifles, he can just as well use fully automatic rifles and multiple kinds of handguns. He is nowhere near the likes of Flag or other devoted marksmen, but can hold his own in a firefight.
* **Stealth:** As shown when he infiltrated the Collins Foundation, he is capable of blending in and assessing the situation to reach a location undetected.

## Weaknesses

* **Human Vulnerabilities:** Being a human, Saul is vulnerable to many things. Though at one point he trained intensively to improve his physical capabilities, he has since left behind his practice, falling somewhat out of shape, even if he still remembers certain techniques. Due to his lack of inhuman strength, reflexes or stamina, Saul's best bet is to fight smart and counterattack.
* **Experience and Knowledge:** Though Saul has proven time and time again that he is capable of surviving by himself, it should be noted that it is not due to intensive training, but due to a smart usage of his knowledge. Just like the rest of his attributes, his knowledge is not infinite. In a situation where the knowledge he has gathered is useless, his ability to adapt will also be rendered useless.
* **Thanatophobia:** Ever since losing Lars, Saul has developed a fear of losing those close to him. Though usually calm and collected, he will become quite emotional when his family is on the line, often leading him to making less than optimal choices.
* **Equipment Vulnerabilities:** Unlike others who wear specialized gear to protect themselves or enhance their capabilities, Saul, being a man who has mostly retired from vigilantism, has opted to use only his custom lab coat as protection. As such, everywhere else is an exposed area. Even then, his lab coat is not especially adequate for stopping or absorbing blunt trauma.
* **Poor Eyesight:** A problem that has not been solved more so due to vanity than an actual lack of resources. Saul really likes wearing his glasses, having grown fond of them throughout his time using them. He also believes he looks smarter with them on. However, in the case they are knocked off or broken, Saul suffers from astigmatism and myopia.

## Equipment

### Attire

* **Lab-Coat-3002:** A versatile lab-coat made out of synthetic fabrics that has gone through different iterations throughout Saul's career. It has gone through multiple iterations, but finally settled on a simple lab-coat with added functionality and comfort.
* **Orion Adaptive Exoskeleton:** A highly advanced adaptive exoskeleton that allows him to manipulate wires like additional appendages. In the finalized version of his exoskeleton, it also provided protection thanks to reinforced carbon-carbon composite plates, and a wide array of gadgets along with the wires. Though it sees use as an aid in his engineering duties, it is rarely use elsewhere, as Saul considers himself retired from vigilantism and other superhuman endeavors.

### Gadgets

* **Range-Irrelevant Puck Comlink:** A communications device built in a pair, stated by Saul to be able to communicate with the other piece regardless of range. Saul gave Tia the other puck to communicate when he was gone on his own personal journey after the Odyssey. It was capable of transmitting recorded voice messages or morse code via a blinking light and beeping noises.

### Transportation

* **Starfinder:** Designed and built by Saul to be the successor of the Pathfinder, this new vessel is a major upgrade from its predecessor, with faster thrusters, better maneuverability, better weaponry, and a more durable hull overall. Unlike its predecessor, it is capable of standing on its own in a dogfight. It is also noticeably bigger, making room for the multiple upgrades made to it.

### Former

* **Modified Nailgun:** Using a gas-powered nail gun as a base, Saul devised a handgun-esque weapon to combat the Nazis and protect Tia. This modified nail gun is capable of shooting nails at 427m/s (954mph).
* **Makeshift Ordnance:** During the Nazi invasion, Saul crafted different kinds of ordnance, such as poisonous smoke bombs, makeshift grenades and even molotovs.
* **Propane Flamethrower:** With a propane tank and a few other tools, Saul made a flamethrower as a heavy weapon to disperse Nazi soldiers from Earth-3.
* ***Pathfinder:*** A custom-built ship designed by Saul and built by the Collins Foundation along with Tia's help. The Pathfinder is equipped with cutting-edge engines, twin cannons by port and starboard and a shielding system.
* **Modular B.E.L.T.:** A whip-sword hybrid that is also disguised as a regular belt. With sharp edges and internal mechanisms, the belt can stiffen up and become a somewhat sharp melee weapon, capable of standing toe-to-toe with regular blades. Due to the outer material that gives it the look of a belt, this weapon is immune to shocking currents rushing through it.
