Serial Designation T (Teo)

**Teo** is a male Disassembly Drone, and the only remaining member of his squad following their murder at his hands. He's quite fond of terrorizing several worker colonies. Despite being the only one left, he's wildly efficient at his job. Strangely enough, he seems to savor killing, preferring to let them live in fear than simply wiping them out in one fell sweep.

And some workers? Well, he simply won't kill them. Why? Who knows.

## Personality

Teo is a bit of a sadist, enjoying seeing people live in fear. He loves to be the one in power and will do anything to keep his power, including killing other Disassembly Drones, should they get in his way. It's easy to compare him to old stories of vampires. He adores drinking oil from workers, even going so far as to claim that some have different flavors than others. He finds they taste better when they're full of *fear*.

However, on the flipside, he has a great capacity for care. Obsessive care, but care nonetheless. He prefers to approach under the guise of kindness, first and foremost. Many workers don't trust this, of course, and unfortunately for them it typically doesn't end well. He takes great joy in acting refined and sophisticated.

So far, only one worker named River has truly caught his attention, for reasons relatively unknown.

## Backstory

Before becoming a Disassembly Drone, Teo used to be a library assistant in an old human manor. He was the Master's favorite worker, and often spent a lot of time with her. When the Disassembly Initiative started, she recommended him for his loyalty and efficiency. Little did she realize, he was heartbroken to leave her, and it changed him for the worse. He became rather dark and bitter, and it eventually drove him to insanity shortly before his alteration.

He was sent to Copper-9 alongside two other drones, Serial Designation Q and Serial Designation R. In the beginning they worked together well. Colonies were effectively wiped out, and it soon seemed like their mission would be coming to an end. But Teo didn't want it to end. Not yet.

One day, while the others were still in sleep mode, he snuck in and eviscerated them completely, beyond salvage by the ABS. It drove him further into insanity. He still seeks out other Disassembly Drones to kill, seeing their oil as a delicacy alongside taking out another threat to his mission. He farms the workers, in his own peculiar way. If any are foolish enough to go outside, they are swiftly killed.

Except for one.

River.

She is the only worker drone that he won't kill on sight, and in fact, cares about dearly. Any time he sees her, he'll always make an effort to speak with her. Of course, she doesn't quite reciprocate his feelings. Yet.

## Relationships

### River

Teo himself isn't completely certain why he feels for River the way he does, but he suspects it has something to do with his previous life. He cares for her in a way he's unfamiliar with. He despises seeing her hurt or saddened by anyone else, and will fiercely defend her if she comes under threat. Oftentimes he'll sneak into the outpost in secret and simply watch her, making sure she's alright and always waiting nearby if she requires assistance.

## Trivia

* Teo is based rather heavily on Lord Harkon from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the Dawnguard DLC. At least in the vampire aspect.
* Despite being legitimately insane and a genuine serial killer, he's rather sweet and caring, if only to River.
* A lot of people want to get in his pants-
