Roulette

Roulette shoots at Eli.

Roulette is a major antagonist in Ray Fox who appears in the third chapter. He's a chameleon assassin who tries to kill Ray while he's in jail. His efforts turn useless thanks to Eli and Summer helping Ray escape his assassination twice.

## Background

Roulette worked as an assassin, joining the Monroe Syndicate at some point during his career. He was partnered up with Brigade, working under the supervision of one of the leaders. The two of them went to many missions, mostly with mixed success due to Roulette's risk taking personality. After Liev exposed himself in his vendetta against Blaze, their boss asked Roulette and Brigade to assassinate the neo-mutant.

## Personality

Contrasting his companion, Roulette is sly, arrogant, and with a big ego. He has great confidence in his abilities as an assassin and fighter, trash talking Eli and Brigade despite his small size. It's also because of his ego that he dislikes criticism, blaming Brigade for causing the loss of one of his guns fighting Eli when he was the one who got them discovered. If his flaws are pointed out, Roulette tends to try some flaw his partner committed rather than take responsibility, bragging that he lost to a professional while Brigade lost to a rookie.

A natural risk taker, Roulette can be reckless, but he also has reasons for his actions. He tried to kill Ray despite Eli being in their proximity because he considered it the only chance he'd have to kill the neo-mutant. Roulette is capable of improvising and negotiating, offering freedom to the inmates with his invisibility if they killed Ray for him.

Roulette's biggest weakness is his tendency to show off. He tends to brag rather than finishing off his opponents, which annoys Brigade. He also underestimates other while overestimating himself, believing that he had victory assured until Eli, Ray, and Summer showed their superior fighting prowess.

## Appearance

Roulette is a short chameleon with three-fingered hands, two-toed feet, long tail, and huge eyes that are covered in eyelids. He is well-dressed, wearing a black sleeveless shirt, white undershirt with the sleeves sticking out from the main shirt, black pants, black spats on his feet, black fingerless gloves, and a black top hat with a ribbon on it. He also wears a mask to hide his mouth.

## Powers, Skills, And Abilities

As a chameleon working for one of the leaders of the Monroe Syndicate, Roulette is a powerful assassin and fighter, able to fight against Eli, the warden of Pala County Correctional, on his own.

### Powers

* Invisibility: As a chameleon, Roulette can camouflage himself with his surroundings to turn invisible. However, this power can only be used when he's still. If he moves, his invisibility disappears, which is how Eli discovered him when he tried to shoot Ray.
* Wall-Clinging: Roulette can use the scales of his hands and feet to cling to walls.

### Skills

* Expert Fighter: Roulette is an expert fighter, capable of fighting Eli for a long time by using his guns and agility.
* Expert Marksmanship: Roulette has good marksmanship, being confident in his ability to kill Ray with a headshot. He also shot Ray on the shoulder to cripple him during the fight with the inmates.
* Expert Negotiator: Roulette can negotiate with great charm even when taken by surprise. He was capable of having the inmates of Pala County serve him by showing his invisibility to them, offering them freedom in exchange for killing Ray.

## History

Roulette and Brigade sneak into the Pala County Correctional, using Roulette's camouflage. The chameleon clings to the walls and hides with his invisibility to find the perfect chance to kill Ray. As the target starts arguing with Summer, Roulette decides to make a killing shot despite Brigade's protest, rationalizing that they won't get another chance.

Eli, the warden of the jail, stops Roulette with a neck strike, having detected the chameleon when he was about to make a shot. Roulette summons Brigade to kill Ray and take out the guards while he fought Eli with his guns. Eli manages to get the upper hand, even depriving Roulette of one of his guns. The chameleon manages to escape thanks to an explosion that Summer caused with her neo-mutant powers, allowing Roulette to escape with Brigade.

Roulette blames Brigand for making him lose one of his guns against Eli, childishly trying to shift blame by pointing out that Brigand was defeated by an amateur while he fought a professional rather than accept his fault for trying to kill Ray too soon. The duo is interrupted by the inmates locked inside. Seeing a chance to succeed, Roulette shows his invisibility to the inmates, promising to free them if they kill Ray for him.

Roulette shoots an exhausted Ray in the shoulder after his fight with Summer. He starts bragging about his incoming success, annoying Brigand, who just wants to finish the mission. The two squabble for a bit before Summer joins in. Roulette orders the inmates to attack, but they are all beaten by the two neo-mutants. Realizing that they lost, Brigade teleports away via Rifter. Roulette throws a tantrum, which ends when Ray throws a fire blast at him that convinces Roulette to escape.

The two report to their boss, who beats them up because of their inability to kill Ray. After hearing about Ray's declaration of war to the Monroe Syndicate, their boss tells them that they have another mission incoming.

## Trivia

* Roulette is named after the casino game roulette. This fits his risk taking personality.
