**Dreadnaught** is the current leader of the Iron Talon and was previously responsible for the Dreadnaught Crisis, which involved a global manhunt and saw one of the first uses of cyber warfare within the Alliance. He is an artificially intelligent being that helped spearhead the effort in stopping Ray Mygerion from consuming the Void during the Alliance-Iron Talon War.

## Appearance

At his birth, Dreadnaught stood at 7 feet and had a sleek and almost human like appearance, with blue to red hued cybernetics.

Upon his reappearance during the war, Dreadnuaght stood at around 9 feet and took a more aggressive appearance, his chassis now black with red hued cybernetics and sharp edged finger tips.

Currently, Dreadnaught has created several bodies that he can switch from, but his most common form is an intimidating body that stands at 10'3", weighs around 800 Ibs, and takes on a less human appearance, with an intricately designed chassis with sharp edges and a plethora of sharp chain like tendrils flowing from his mid-torso which gives him the appearance of wearing a robe. This body is made up of an unknown Alloy rumored to have been found within one of the few destroyed Keeper ships in the very depths of the Mariana Trench, and has been said to be made up of materials stronger than Skysteel and Yellow-Diamond.

## Personality

At his birth, he could be referred to as cold, cruel, and inapropriately sarcastic and extremely intelligent. He single handedly brought the Alliance down to its knees and took pride in that. He grew overconfident as he thought he would win the struggle against the Alliance, but alas, was shut out from cyberspace forever in the end.

Upon his reappearance, after having years of self discovery and interacting with humans without the intent of murder, Dreadnaught matured. He grew to understand the human psyche. and began to adopt it as well. Due to being disconnected from cyberspace, he no longer had access to information whenever he needed it and as such began learning from books and other forms of documentation. He studied cultures, specific peoples, and history and he loved every minute he got to learn something new. These traits have carried onto his personality now, along with a general softening of his overall attitude.

While he has complete free will, he still generally cares for the long-term survival of the Human race, and will take any measures to ensure their survival.

## Powers and Abilities

**Cyberkinesis** - Dreadnaught can control the functions of electronic technology within a range of 15 meters.

**Motor-Skill Manipulation** - Dreadnaught has learned to somewhat control organic life as he would any other electronic device by hijacking the targets brain function. To initiate this Dreadnaught must be within a range of 10 meters of a target. His current limit is three people at a time and the process can be broken by a heavily determined will or breaking his focus from the targets in mind.

**Technical-Immortality** - As long as Dreadnaught has a viable machine to use as a body within his current range in Cyberspace, he can control it. Even if he was denied a body, his conscience would still live on within Cyberspace. Technically the only ways to truly kill Dreadnaught would be to terminate him from Cyberspace completely. Though, defeating one of Dreadnaught's body's is not to be in vain. If Dreadnaught is forcibly removed from a body, he will be inactive for around one to three weeks depending on the severity of his physical termination.

**Energy Beam Emission** - Due to his preference of extremely energized quad power cores within his bodies, Dreadnaught can fire beams of energy from any point in his body, though firing the beams through his photo-receptors is his preferred method.

## Significant Traits

**Super Strength** - In his common form, he has an extremely massive amount of innate strength.

**Hardcore Metal** - His common form provides heavy protection against most forms of energy based attacks and blunt trauma, tied in with the factor that he feels no pain.

**I'm no Toaster** - Short circuiting Dreadnaught from most of his forms via electricity is much more difficult compared to other forms of electronic machinery.

**Organic Sympathy** - Dreadnaught does not like personally hurting Humans, but will not hesitate to do so.

## Equipment

**I'll Be Back** - Dreadnaught has a collection of bodies for him to utilize.
