## Personality

Orc is a professional individual, willing to carry out a mission as part of the job, and easily brushes off any disparaging comments regarding his O-Tech status. He holds Shura in high regard, addressing him with a "great" honorific and believes him to be stronger than Shiki.

Like his teammates, Orc is loyal to his emperor, Poseidon Nero, and is willing to eliminate anyone who stands in his way.

## Synopsis

### Foresta arc

Orc is deployed to Foresta with Mora and Britney to wipe out the Verdant Planet of robots, commenting on the havoc Ziggy has caused in the Coral Sector and wondering if the *"blasted ghost"* is trying to provoke their emperor, Poseidon Nero of the Oración Seis Galáctica. Orc then asks his teammates if they are ready to purge Foresta.

Dispatching a giant battle droid with ease in the middle of a mission, Orc reassures that it does not bother him when Britney scolds Mora for his offending remark about machines as she reminds their teammate that Orc is half-machine. Noticing Shiki Granbell, Orc with a stern look recognizes the young man's Ether to be that of Shura's.

Deciding to test him, Orc throws the giant robot's head at Shiki with his mechanical arm. When witnessing Shiki sending the object flying away with Satan Gravity with ease while reverting his arm back to normal, Orc confirms that Shiki is indeed a gravity wielder just like Shura.

However, when a fleet of Foresta's bomber drones appeared with hostile intent to exterminate the humans with high Ether levels via massive carpet bombing, Orc notes that Beast hadn't cleared the skies yet. He remains unfazed by the bombings with his arms folded before Britney tells him to deal with the bomber drones. Orc complies and jumps high into the sky while transforming his right arm into mechanical once more and latches underneath on one of the bomber drones to seize control. Orc tears off some pieces of machinery from the drone and augments them into his mechanical arm which transforms into a multi-limbed missile launcher, and activates it to shoot down multiple bomber drones at once in the sky, amazes Shiki.

Upon sweeping off all of the bomber drones from the sky, Orc lands in front of Shiki by sitting on the dispatched bomber drone casually with his arms folded as he apologizes to the gravity user for keeping him waiting. There, Orc grabs the fallen drone he was sitting on with his mechanical arm, transforming it, and throws it at Shiki who dodges it. He then charges at Shiki with his mechanical arm and clashed fists with his opponent who pushed him back. Orc comments on the gravity-enhanced punch being heavy but retaliated with his mechanical arm transforming into a Gatling gun to shoot at Shiki point-blank, stating that it has Ether bullets. Orc noted that Shiki is fast after the latter dodges his barrage of Ether bullets with ease, and deduces that Shiki is "falling" in the direction he wants to go with Satan Gravity. Orc got dropkicked in the face by Shiki which sent him flying but is able to regain his balance and footing with his mechanical arm as he asks Shiki where did he get that power. Orc learns that Shiki was taught by Ziggy, his adoptive grandfather, and is confused why the young man is crying his heart out all of a sudden although he internally noted that it is Ziggy's power that Shiki used.

Shiki charges at Orc as he tells him that there has to be a reason behind Ziggy going crazy. Blocking from Shiki's punch with his mechanical arm, the O-Tech retorts that whatever the reason he reminds the young man of what his adoptive grandfather did to Foresta by taking over the machines, killing the humans, and burning up the forest, and states that Ziggy's evil is truly worthy of the name "Demon King." Punching Shiki with his left arm, Orc transforms his right mechanical arm into an Ether blaster cannon and declares that they are going to kill every bot on the Verdant Planet to protect the humans. He blasted Shiki into the ground with repeated barrages and said that they are going to show Ziggy what happens if he tries to start a rebellion by destroying all of the robots. After Shiki is down and heavily battered on the ground, Orc states that it is the fate of the Aoi Cosmos decreed by his emperor, Poseidon Nero.

Orc notes that Shiki does not know about Poseidon Nero, which he forgot to mention. He reveals to Shiki that they are his Commando Team, Beast and they are on a mission to purge this planet. Orc stands with his arms folded over Shiki on the ground, and when the young man gets up and declares that he will stop his adoptive grandpa. The O-Tech responds that his emperor, Poseidon Nero will stop Ziggy. After Shiki retorts that what he and his teammates are doing is at least as evil as Ziggy, Orc states that they are protecting the humans. Suddenly, the O-Tech is grabbed in the face by Shiki, who transforms, before he could use his mechanical arm against him and wonders what happened to the young man's gravity, noting that it's different than before. As he is pushed back by Shiki further, Orc realized in shock that his opponent's Ether went critical point and can use Overdrive. Orc is struck directly by Shiki's Magimech Attack: Meteor Breaker and sent flying in defeat, screaming in pain.

After his defeat, Orc falls on the ground injured and his shades broken. He comments in shock and fear that he can not believe there is another one like Shura. He then smiles in defiance and tells Shiki as he returns to normal, that he will never beat the great Shura. The O-Tech explains that Shura is a gravity user more powerful than Shiki, and maybe even more powerful than Ziggy as well. He warns Shiki that gravity attracts gravity and that he, Ziggy, and Shura are destined to find each other. After the gravity user leaves, Orc lies on the ground, contacting Beast Squad 1 for help and receives an answer from them where the Tengu Member informs him that they were monitoring his squad and saw the whole thing after taking out a group of hostile bots themselves. The Tengu Member assures Orc that as the strongest Beast team, they will avenge them and make their move to capture Shiki.
